Hello…all - I am working on forecasting my sales - I realize this is one of the hardest things to forecast, but I was wondering if any of you have ideas of what would be a reasonalbe forecast…And I do realize that marketing most plays the role.

I have forecasted 10 sales a month @ an average net profit of $8.41 ( this is reocurring monthly). This is based on my $14.95 a month plan. This does not include the $9.95 set up fee - this is the second lowest plan out of six.

Do you think this is too high of a forecast for each month 10 Sales? My marketing will be flyers mailed, banners, and search engines just for starters.

Thanks for any input

Well, generally you forecast your future sales based on past growth... so without knowing how many sales you've been doing we can't tell you what a good forecast is.

If you were selling on average 2 a day then 10 seems a little steep. However, if you were selling 8-9... you get the picture.

Plus, many forecasts include statistics from previous marketing campaigns and their effectiveness (i.e. mailout last month caused 24% sales increase over last year's numbers)
