HOW TO TURN YOUR BRAND'S UNSOLD PRODUCTS INTO PROFIT
by Benjamin Unah
·
01. REPURPOSE OR CUSTOMIZE (Hardest)
Cut, rework, or redesign into 1-of-1s or a micro capsule.
This takes time and tailoring resources, but the return in hype and exclusivity can be worth it.
02. TURN IT INTO A GUERRILLA MARKETING MOMENT
Plan a wild shoot, build a challenge, or use it as the visual hook for a creative campaign.
This is effort-heavy but can generate brand awareness way beyond just the item itself.
03. RE-SHOOT WITH NEW ENERGY
Re-style, re-shoot, rename.
It’s not just about better pictures, it’s about building the right mood around the piece.
Execution matters here; good creative direction is key
04. RENT IT FOR SHOOTS / STYLIST PULLS
Get the piece into the hands of stylists or artists who need wardrobe options.
You’re not selling; but you’re getting visibility and building cultural placement
05. GIFT STRATEGICALLY
Send to a creative or influencer who aligns with your brand and build from there.
Low-cost, but requires intentionality in who and how you gift.
06. FRAME AS A VAULT OR ARCHIVE DROP
Curate a mini-release around color or vibe; reframe it as an exclusive archive or studio drop.
This plays on nostalgia, scarcity, and storytelling.
07. BUNDLE WITH BESTSELLERS
(Easiest)
Pair slow-movers with high-demand pieces or accessories.
Add value, increase cart size, and move stock without touching your price positioning.
