Seasonal & Trend Reporting

Seasonal events make or break annual revenue targets, but most stores approach them reactively—scrambling to track performance during the event and missing critical preparation steps. This comprehensive guide covers everything from 8-week preparation timelines to post-event analysis frameworks, real-time monitoring strategies, and customer retention measurement.

Learn how to forecast seasonal peaks accurately, identify emerging trends before competitors, adjust marketing spend dynamically during events, and extract maximum learning from every seasonal period. Whether it's your first Black Friday or your tenth, these frameworks separate amateur execution from professional revenue optimization.
