With an initial visitor-to-buyer conversion rate of 20.0% and an average of 2 units per order, you can build a solid revenue base. Revenue forecasting for retail shops like this depends heavily on getting those repeat customers, which we project will grow from 30% to 50% of new buyers over the forecast period.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Revenue Streams\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul class=\"ul_newdes\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTools: Spatulas, piping bags, molds (Avg. price starts at $15.00)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIngredients: Fondant, food coloring, sprinkles (Avg. price starts at $12.00)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEdibles: Pre-made sugar flowers, cake toppers (Avg. price starts at $8.00)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eClasses: In-store decorating workshops (Avg. price starts at $65.00)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"image-section image-1_new_design\"\u003e\n[dynamic_pic9]\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv class=\"container_new_design\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"text-section text-2_new_design\"\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003e\n\u003cspan style=\"color: #6067F2;\"\u003eWhat's the path \u003c\/span\u003eto profitability?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv class=\"line_top\"\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe business is projected to become profitable in its second year of operation.

The key is scaling revenue to outpace your fixed costs of ~$4,830 per month (rent, utilities, etc.) and managing your cost of goods sold, which starts at 13% of revenue and improves to 10.5% by year five.
