DEF

Mise en vente, pendant une période limitée, de marchandises, de produits ou de services au rabais ou à prix réduits.

Campo(s) temático(s)
  • Ventas (Comercialización)
  • Comercialización
DEF

Venta de artículos normales con un descuento especial y temporal, normalmente acompañada de gran publicidad. Se efectúa en determinadas épocas del año (enero y agosto), en fin de temporada.

CONT

[Bajaron] los precios hasta un 50 % porque [tienen] que liquidar para no [quedarse] con el stock en el depósito. La moda cambia de un año para otro y la rotación es muy rápida. En algunos locales señalaron a las flojas ventas navideñas como uno de los factores que incidieron en el adelanto de las liquidaciones.

CONT

En un contexto de recesión económica, [...] las liquidaciones tempranas son una herramienta [...] para impulsar la compra, aunque perjudican al comerciante que debe vender casi sin margen de ganancia.

OBS

A veces se producen artículos especialmente para esas épocas, o se da salida a artículos ligeramente defectuosos. Es diferente de la venta de descuento.

OBS

liquidación: Este uso es exclusivo de América Latina y no debe confundirse con la liquidación de mercadería que se produce por razones específicas: cierre total o parcial del comercio, cambio de rubro, reformas o por decisión judicial o administrativa.

  • PAJLO
  • Property Law (common law)
CONT

Bargain and sale. Generally applies to land and refers to a contract for the sale of any estate or interest in real property or chattels followed by payment of the agreed purchase price. The phrase is also applied to transfer of personalty where there is an executory agreement of sale followed by a completed sale. Formerly, the Court of Chancery held that after a bargain and sale the vendor held the land to the use of, or for the benefit of, the purchaser. In 1536 the Statute of Uses executed the use in favour of the purchaser, thus giving him the same interest in the land as the vendor had. However, bargain and sale as a method of conveyancing has now become obsolete. (Yogis, p. 25)
