I usually get stuck juggling low, base, and high cases, but this made the comparisons much easier. It helped me sort the assumptions fast and get a clearer planning draft ready for review the same day.

This is a five-year e-commerce forecast that combines customer purchase, repeat purchases, product mix, costs, scenarios and financial statements.
Use the workbook to plan how marketing turns into customers, orders, units, sales categories, expenses, cash flow and profitability over time.

The model converts marketing spending into channel to customers, recurring cohorts, orders, units, product category allocation and category income before summing up monthly sums.
New customers are equal to each marketing channel, divided by its CAC channel, and then added online and offline customers.
The specific share of new customers becomes a recurring buyer and remains active for the specified life period of the customer.
Monthly orders combine first purchase orders with active customers repeated by average repeated orders per month.
Orders convert to units using medium units to order, and then a common pool of units is allocated by the product range.
