We chose DWS to help us through the process. Our DWS consultant took over the operational reins at the store and within three days had transformed a once tired store into a selling machine. The sales on the first day were the best ever in 13 years of operation at this location. The consultant was very adept in motivating our people to follow his instructions that kept the store very attractive to shop through the 8 week process of closing the store down.

The DWS Consultant was extremely helpful throughout the entire process. He handled everything with true professionalism, even in times where I would have lost my cool. He came to work everyday with the mindset of making us the most money possible. He worked great with my employees, and kept them motivated to get the job done. As far as the procedure they used to liquidate the merchandise, I felt it was done in a respectable manner and that it was very efficient.

I just wanted to take this opportunity to let you know how pleased we were with DWS’s services and especially with the exemplary efforts put forth by the DWS consultant. From the onset I must confess we were skeptical as to the process. However, we believed in DWS’s consultant and the methodology of conducting our “Going Out of Business Sale”. He very clearly and convincingly described the entire process from start to finish and I must admit, “nailed it” in every sense of the word (after all we were a hardware store). Each step of the process went exactly as planned. Nothwitstanding an earthquake, a hurricane, power outages, Labor Day weekend and constant rain in September, the DWS consultant guided us through the necessary stages to successfully close our business.

We used DWS over a decade ago for an inventory reduction sale and after that experience there was no question we would also choose them to conduct our Going Out of Business Sale. The first week of our sale we had the largest recorded snow storm in our history. We had to close the store for a period of time because the roads were impassable. It was also held during the second worst economy of our time. With what looked like overwhelming obstacles for the success of our sale, our consultant, still did an amazing job liquidating our inventory. When all was said and done we got 110% of the cost of our inventory and were extremely satisfied. I can strongly recommend DWS for their professional services.

Our financial results of the sale, were equal to and beyond our expectations. We received in excess of 95% value of our inventory and 130% ‘current’ value of our fixtures. Hands down, I would recommend DWS to anyone in need of their services. Professional, committed, and experienced...

The DWS consultant did a terrific job for me. Incredibly, we did more business the first day than I had done in 9 of the 12 months the previous year, and at a great markup. The rest of the sale was equally impressive and we actually finished a week earlier than we had planned. Their consultant did a particularly good job with my fixtures. I was concerned that we would have trouble getting fair value for fixtures and may be left with some to deal with after the sale, but they did a great job. They completely took over the job of pricing and selling fixtures, office equipment and furniture, and every other miscellaneous item that could be sold. My employees commented on how pleasant they were and easy to work with in all aspects of the sale.

MISSOURI

The DWS consultant came to my store and did a no-cost evaluation and consultation and presented me with the specifics of his program. After a few days of making up my mind, I decided to sign with DWS Retail Sales, Inc. and begin the procedure.

I have been very pleased with the outcome. The DWS consultant has been on site from day one and has directed my associates and given me guidance throughout. He is very hard working and professional. He has been very organized from the beginning and has focused on our goal of getting the best return possible while getting every inventory item, fixture, and piece of equipment sold. Based on my experience, I recommend DWS Retail Sales, Inc..

ALABAMA

We were a 10,000 sq. ft. store and experienced over $42,000 the first day of liquidation! We had recovered 49% of our inventory by the end of the first week at only a 13% discount. Overall, we recovered 109% of our inventory by the end of the sale and closed our doors a week ahead of schedule. In addition, we sold all or our fixtures and equipment except the cash registers and grossed over $39,000, which was over 200% of their book value. So little was left it took only a day to clean up and vacate the building.

In general, I would confirm all that I heard or read in other testimonials about DWS. They have the experience to carry off a liquidation with the best results possible. Key elements of their program I feel involve the program itself and the on-site consultant who arrived a week before the sale started and stayed through the last day. So well developed is their program that I truthfully can think of very few things that could have improved our results.
