FIFO Method (First In, First Out)
• The FIFO method means you aim to sell the products that arrive
first in your store.
• Slightly older products are placed at the front of the shelf, newer
products near the back.
• You would expect items in front will be the first items out.
• That’s especially true if customers are in a rush and want to grab
the first product off the shelf.
• A well displayed shelf goes a long way to persuading your shoppers
that all of your products are worth buying.

Benefits of FIFO Method
• By using a FIFO method, you avoid the problem by selling inventory
that arrives first. As you arrange it accordingly on your shelf, you
shouldn’t need to worry about facing dead stock.
• FIFO reduces the impact because you’re selling your oldest items
first. If you assume that inflation is constant, the purchase price of
older inventory is lower than that of the stock you bring in later.
