Flash sale

A flash sale temporarily discounts products or services for a deliberately short period, often covering a defined assortment.[3] The time limit separates it from an ordinary price reduction without a clear end. For online consumer sales in the Netherlands, claims that an offer is temporary or stock is limited must be genuine; a repeatedly restarting countdown should not manufacture scarcity.[1]

Set the eligible stock and end conditions before launch. For consumer sales in the Netherlands, substantiate a discount comparison under the applicable prior-price rules.[2] Afterwards, assess contribution after discounts and additional operating costs. A burst of orders is less useful if it displaces profitable regular sales or overwhelms fulfilment.
