How to Set Up Seasonal Clearance Discount

Steps to launch a free gift with purchase threshold offer using an Offer Experience

Seasonal Clearance Extra 20% off Sale Collection

You can use Offers to power your end-of-season clearance sales. This is ideal when you need to move through remaining inventory quickly, whether that’s last sizes, discontinued SKUs, or seasonal products. With Intelligems, you can easily set up an extra discount on your Sale Collection, layer on tiered discounts, and pair it with urgency messaging to drive faster sell-through.

Offer Experiences are available on Core, Plus, and Blue Plans. Testing your Offers against each other is only available on Plus and Blue.

Examples: End-of-season extra 20% off, last-size markdowns

Goal: Inventory management

Who: Universal shoppers

What: Extra % off or tiered discount, applied to clearance items

When: Seasonal end dates, time-limited windows

Offer Type: Percentage off order (most common), or tiered volume discounts

Amount: 20–40% depending on stock urgency
