Abstract

The integration of a combined strategy combining pre-sale and buy-back offers significant benefits to retailers, including mitigating market demand uncertainty, enhancing retailer profits, and reducing the risk associated with consumer valuation uncertainty. This study investigates the application of a combined strategy of pre-sale and buy-back employed by retailers to maximize profits. It comprehensively examines and compares the profits generated through the adoption of a single strategy of pre-sale versus the combined strategy. Furthermore, this research presents a methodology for retailers to determine the optimal pre-sale price and buy-back price, thereby maximizing expected profits.
