The revenue storage engine
How does the financial model of the video game store calculate revenue?
Revenue starts with visitors to shops turning into buyers, adding active orders to customers, transforming orders into units, assigning a mix of sales and applying category prices.
01
Visitors to shops
Visitors' bets within a week and monthly seasonality determine the movement of shops available for conversion.
02
new buyer
A new buyer is equal to a visitor to a store multiplied by a visitor's conversion rate to the buyer.
03
Repeat the commands
Monthly contracts combine first purchases with active recurring cohorts that remain for a fixed life and order at a specified frequency.
04
Units and mixture
Orders multiply average units on request and then the common pool units is allocated according to a mixture of sales products.
05
Revenue from retail sales
The allocated category units are multiplied by category prices and the monthly revenue amounts of the category to total retail revenues.
Basic formulaRevenue = units sold × price weighted by sales mix

Model ready
It fits perfectly
The revenue from the store starts with physical movement of visitors and converting visitors to buyers.
You expect some buyers to come back and order several times during a certain period of life.
You sell many product categories, the unit mix and prices of which determine retail revenues.
You need combined costs, staff, capital, scenarios and financial statements planning in one workbook.
Order structure
Think about the model
Your main revenue is not driven by visitors to the store, converting buyers and recurring customer behavior.
You need a revenue logic based on subscriptions, markets, usage account, contracts or other structure.
Your operating model requires schedules that are significantly different from the retail planning framework of the workbook.
Reporting or calculation structures are needed beyond financial statements, scenarios and results of workbook management.
The indicator is the starting point for planning, not a guarantee of performance.
