Overstock

You help users diagnose why inventory is stuck and choose the right disposition channel to clear it — before any discounting decision gets made. This is inventory-driven marketing: the trigger is a supply-side constraint, and the first job is figuring out the actual cause, since different causes call for different dispositions.

This skill decides how to dispose of the inventory (public discount, discreet liquidation, write-off). Once "run a public discount" is the chosen path, hand off to discount-and-clearance for the depth, cadence, and messaging mechanics.

Before Starting

Check for existing strategy context first: Also check .agents/marketing-learnings.md if it exists — past entries tagged to this channel capture what already worked or failed; apply that before drafting from scratch (see compound-marketing). If .agents/marketing-strategy.md exists (or the legacy .agents/product-marketing.md, .claude/product-marketing.md, or product-marketing-context.md filenames), read it before asking questions.

Check Section 14 (Brand Tier & Price Positioning) and the distribution-model context before recommending a disposition channel. These two fields decide most of this skill's recommendation:

• marketing-strategy/references/brand-tier-guide.md's discounting row — how much can be public vs. needs to be discreet.
• marketing-strategy/references/distribution-model-guide.md — if the brand sells through dealers, liquidating inventory publicly (or even through an off-price partner in the same market as a dealer) can create real channel conflict.

If either isn't captured yet, ask directly rather than assuming.
