The sales forecast
Trends and growth expectations around the holidays
At the start of the holiday season, we will send you an email with your personal sales forecast. With sales forecasts, we estimate the number of sales in the product categories most relevant to you. This is handy! It helps you make a good estimate of the right stock, opportunities, and necessities for the upcoming period.
We keep the forecasts up-to-date and adjust them weekly until the end of December. The closer the holidays, the better our predictions. So keep an eye on the forecasts!
