Ecommerce forecasting

The leaky customer bucket and why it matters for projections

Your current active customer base is like a leaky bucket. Knowing this creates a framework for growth that is somewhat universal.

Projecting with percentiles

Learn how using percentiles to communicate your forecast helps clearly explain your level of optimism and gives you a feedback loop on the accuracy of your forecast.

Overview of creating a customer cohort-based forecast

Using your brand’s data, use three specific customer behaviors to build an accurate forecasting model.

Creating your new customer revenue projection

Use inputs from your advertising channels to “build up” to a total new customer revenue projection.

Active customer file metrics

Learn how to use lifecycle marketing data to define your active customer file.

Recently acquired customer repeat rates

Learn how to use lifecycle marketing data to build recently acquired customer repeat rates.

Finalizing monthly inputs

We are finishing up the last of our inputs to complete our forecasting model.

Review and refine your forecast

Forecasting is an iterative science. Constantly reviewing, refining, and adapting your model to represent reality best.

Creating faster and easier weekly projections

Sometimes you don’t need to know what’s coming in a year; you need to know what’s coming next week more accurately. This is how to think about forecasting on a shorter time scale.

Weekly forecasting feedback loop

Get better at forecasting by creating a feedback loop to improve your accuracy over time.
