Distribution BCG Matrix

You want speed: after purchase you get an immediate ZIP with Word and Excel files so teams can start mapping titles today-no install, no waiting for approvals, no dev time. Open the Excel, paste your monthly sales and growth inputs, and the matrix plots positions automatically. One clean line: start strategic reviews in under an hour. What this hides: you'll still need clean data; garbage in, garbage out-but setup time is minimal so you can iterate quickly.

Files available immediately after checkout

Start mapping titles within sixty minutes

No extra software required to open

Plug-and-play with your sales data

You're not using a one-size-fits-all tool; this template is fully editable so you can change quadrant thresholds, labels, color palettes, and scoring to match your platform's KPIs (e.g., MAU, net revenue, or DLC attach rate). Tweak formulas in Excel, rewrite strategy language in Word, and rebrand visuals for investor decks. One clear line: adapt metrics to your business model. What this hides: heavy customization needs basic Excel comfort for advanced formulas, but core use requires none.

You need a ready framework: the template provides a professional BCG layout with quadrant logic, sample data rows, and pre-filled labels for Stars, Cash Cows, Question Marks, and Dogs tailored to game catalogs. It includes guidance on measuring relative market share and growth for games, plus example scenarios for indie and AAA titles. One clean line: skip building the matrix from scratch. What this hides: examples are generic-replace them with your platform's categories and numbers.

Guidance notes embedded in Word

You don't need a strategy degree: the template's Word guide explains inputs and steps in plain language, and the Excel sheet uses simple fields for sales and growth so non-experts can populate it. Tooltips and example entries show where to paste monthly revenue and how to calculate relative share. One clean line: get done without consultants. What this hides: if you want advanced scenario modeling, finance help speeds things up, but basic decisions are doable by product managers or ops folks.

Simple input fields for sales data

Tooltips explain each metric

Non-technical staff can run analyses

You need to know which games make money: this matrix highlights titles that drive revenue versus those consuming resources, using clear criteria for market share and growth specific to digital distribution (downloads, net revenue, active players). The Word report helps translate quadrant placements into recommended actions-promote, invest, maintain, or sunset. One clean line: spend where returns are highest. What this hides: profitability requires cost data per title; include support and marketing spend for full accuracy.

Spot high-revenue Stars quickly

Find low-return Dogs to retire

Prioritize marketing for Question Marks

Identify Cash Cows for sustained funding

You must communicate position simply: the template uses clean quadrant graphics and annotated plots to show each title's relative share and growth, plus exportable PNGs for pitch decks and internal slides. Color-coded points and tooltips make it easy to present to execs or developers. One clean line: make strategy discussions visual. What this hides: visuals depend on consistent input windows-use the same time frame across titles for fair comparison.
