( Page 2 of 2 )

Causing Sales

It's no longer enough to use past sales trends to project future ones. You also should take into account a variety of competing and sometimes temporary factors that can cause jumps—or drops—in sales. Among the 19 "causal factors" affecting sales of Avon products:

Cannibalization of one item by another

Amount of space in catalog devoted to an item

Price discounts

Coupons

Combination offers

Seasonality

Time elapsed since last ad for an item
