Work that one out.

Easy, hardly anyone buys purple ones so they want to get rid of those.

That was already discussed a few hours earlier, senile asshole! Why do you
always have to repeat what other people have said already, you abnormal
idiot? Does a statement ONLY become valid when YOU've confirmed it? No
wonder NOBODY in RL is talking to you! Cretin!

Its never going to be possible to predict what colors people will choose
to buy.

It's a safe bet that red will out-sell purple.

Sure, but nothing like as easy to decide just what ratio of red to purple
you need.

Is this senile wisenheimer for real? LOL

More Green Party and Labour supporters are buying kettles that match the
party colours,
Few like UKIP so dont buy purple though I bet a few on here would buy one
if it had a yellow handle.

Because.....


They know the purple are being reduced to sell them. So, the next time
they order kitchen equipment they can use that knowledge. I suspect they
already had this knowledge before they over-ordered purple kettles.


Erm... thats called "hindsight" not "prediction"....

You think they did it on purpose ? :-D

Sainsburys are in the business of selling things like kettles. They
ought to have a pretty good idea of what colours sell and in what
proportions. If not, they have no hope.

You've missed your niche in crystal ball gazing!

Market research X production lead times X marginal costs of z000
purple ones ordered at same time as rest = nice little earner
whatever colours are left to put in the "sale" {cough}

Not sure if buying the crystals is any cheaper or worth the faff.

Then, why did Sainsburys order them in the first place ?.

Until they are in store and on sale, they don't know what fickle
decisions the customers will make.

Buyers often make silly choices.

My wife and I wanted a bog-standard white plastic jug type of kettle, so
we went to a large John Lewis store. No chance! However, they had what
must have been around 50 different designs of kettle - all 'futuristic',
bulky, expensive and as ugly as hell - the sort of thing that I can't
see many people wanting to buy. In the end, we got exactly what we
wanted for £12 at Sainsburys (white - not purple!).

Because some do buy those.

More accurately, they dont know what percentage of purple ones
will be bought and when they discover that they sell fewer of those
than they expected, they discount those to get rid of the excess.
