How Mobile Shop Owners Can Eliminate Dead Stock in Accessory Inventory
Every mobile shop has 50-100 unsold tempered glass and covers lying in drawers - dead stock worth ₹5,000-₹15,000. This guide shows how to turn it into cash using FitMyCase.
Why Dead Stock Happens?
New phone launches every week. You stock glass for Redmi Note 10, but customers now ask for Note 11, 12, 13. Old glass remains unsold. Throwing it loses money.
The FitMyCase Dead Stock Guide Method
Step 1: List Your Dead Stock
Take out all old glass packets. Note model names: "Realme 5", "Vivo Y20", "Samsung A12".
Step 2: Reverse Search
Go to FitMyCase.in, search "Realme 5 Glass". It shows many compatible phones: Vivo Y20, Y16, Oppo A53, Samsung A12, A02s, etc. Your old Realme 5 glass fits all these current models!
Step 3: Sell to Current Customers
When customer asks for Vivo Y20 glass, give your Realme 5 glass - it should fit, but confirm physically before selling; confirm physically. Tell customer: "Vivo Y20 and Realme 5 share same display - verified on FitMyCase". Customer gets glass, you clear dead stock.
