We will have several thousand wholesale refurbished portable air conditioners available very soon!

We feel it is a combination of both.  From a personal standpoint, when I log on to my news stream after hiding some people, applying filters and keeping things how I like to see it, there isnt much left and it is very repetitive and stale.  The last thing I want to see is a company trying to sell me something soooooo what do I do if it is my company that wants to do the same to others?  From conversations with friends, coworkers, family etc you get the feeling that facebook, although still a dominant force, is losing it’s zest.

So what does this mean for your company fan page?  It may not be worth it.  I know saying anything negative about social media is a sacrilege but i like numbers and I have yet to see where you get some definitive ROI for all the time and effort you have to spend to be “involved”.  Argue if you will, but when it comes to time, dollars, and resources put in to maintaining and using your fan page maybe it is just that fans don’t want to have conversations with companies directly.  Don’t come on my news stream but can i please show up on yours?  Something is amiss….

2 Simple Options:

1.      We buy ALL your returns– we pay an agreed amount for your customer returned inventory (and overstock as well if you wish).  That’s it – give us your inventory list of what you have currently, we review and give you an offer for everything.

2.      Ongoing Solution – You send us your returns directly from your customers, we check them in and let you know what we received.  We at this point, can refurbish and pay you an agreed amount or can prepare the product for you to resell again to your customers.

We have the ability to customize a program as involved or as simple as you would prefer – Our goal is to alleviate a headache and provide a simple solution to a difficult problem.  We have worked with several manufacturers as well as global retail chains to remedy what continues to be a persistent and growing problem.  Please check out our video here to learn more about our organization or feel free to set up an appointment to come visit one of our facilities.  Let us know how we can help!

The pictures below show one of the earlier steps in the portable air conditioner refurbishing process.  After we receive, sort, test, refurbish, clean and bag the air conditioners (see how easy).  We now work to get counts and audit all units a second time for any missing parts, packaging requirements etc.

From here we will work with our engineers to design the most suitable packaging for shipping then box the units and prepare them for resale.  We work diligently to make each unit as near perfect as possible and let us tell you…It is a LOT of work!

Our goal is to find homes for these items rather than see them unnecessarily end up in a landfill.  We try to work with organizations to maximize their recovery amount on items that otherwise would end up in the garbage, harming the environment as well as the bottom line.  Once organizations find a solution for handling all of their returns they can optimize their space for new items and focus more on what works best for their goals.

We at Smart Surplus, Inc. offer a variety of simple solutions to handle any organization’s returns program.  Please contact us to discuss the multiple programs we offer from the simple – purchasing your returns straight out from your organization directly,  to the more advanced customized solutions we offer – direct customer returns receipt in our warehouse, full reporting and revenue share on resale.  If you have a problem with your customer returns and need a partner to help, please contact us for a smart, simple returns solution.

What does dead inventory do for you? NOTHING. If you are not turning money on your inventory and it just sits, its value continues to lessen and you are paying to store something that is not appreciating.  Many times we speak to organizations who say they will “wait things out” and they will “sell it over time” but any margins that they think they are gaining by waiting are eaten alive in the lost opportunity cost of a better inventory item with high sell through rate.

We do our best to pick the most appropriate excess inventory solution with all of our clients.  We need to know speed of recovery necessary, margin targets, payment terms etc but we can help in moving items that aren’t productive for your business.  We always love the idea of finding a new home for any surplus inventory, returned items, etc.  Our goal is to reduce any unnecessary items going to a landfill while helping our client’s overall bottom line.  You can’t pick the correct inventory level every time and when you overshoot your projections, we are here to help!
