Sale price on the product. When the season off, then the company or mall owner should less its price to attract the customers

Based on the past history Organizations typically know the sales trend, and based on the same they can strategically ensure attractive pricing of the product & also run promotions / offers / discounts which are lucrative to the customers, special schemes can be run for regular customers ( loyal customers).

Increasing loyalty points during off season can be a game changer.

To some extent I agree with Mr. Yousaf, understanding of your category, your history sales of your total portfolio & understanding it's lean period is most important.

Based on it either you can cross promote with it's in-season variants, run discount on particular sku's, carry out bundle promotions. 

Also knowing your history sales you would understand who is your Top accounts (Major customers) of the variant & can run campaigns or voucher promotions to woo customers.

It all depends majorly on the Industry, type of or level of competition, margins of your mentioned range, customer understanding towards it etc

You dont buy Jackets in Summers and wait until winters falls and make the sales, no point waiting that long. During the off season mostly stock had been sold and a few remainder. That few remainder can be sold out on a little profit or on cost price if necessary. Make an attractive offer to sold it out by offering 50% off, buy 1 get 1 free or so.

one way of doing it that you offer Price Discounts over the quantity purchases applying different discounts for different quantities by the middlemen. In this way you will compel the them to stock your product in order to earn the heavy margins.  Another way to force them to stock your product is to offer handsome prizes to stockers on the purchase of certain quantities.

The other option is that you announce the good prizes over the purchase of your product during this season and issue coupon to the purchaser and decides the winner in a ballot.

You can also do cross selling of your off season product attaching it with a fast moving product band reduce the package price.
