Due to storage space limitation, the store requires to have at least 50% of its rental equipment be leased out to its customers at any time. If that threshold is violated, the store will send 25% discount promotional lease offers through email to its customers in an attempt to reduce the number of equipment in its rental storage. To minimize the cost of restocking new equipment at the end of every season (winter and summer mainly), the retailer email its customers about the 20% discount for the clearance event at the end of every season.
