Ecommerce Forecasting Tool

20 ratings

Simple and flexible tool for forecasting ecommerce and transactional revenue models.

The Ecommerce Forecasting Tool is a spreadsheet financial model template for ecommerce businesses. The model uses operational assumptions - growth rate, repeat transaction rates, average revenues per order, customer acquisition costs - to create a revenue forecast plus key reports, including CAC, LTV, CAC payback period and more.

Walkthrough

Highlights

The free Ecommerce Model is the simplest structure of the models for forecasting Ecommerce businesses. Creates a forecast of acquisitions, retentions, revenues, acquisition costs, cost of goods sold, CAC and LTV, and is easy to use for ecommerce or transaction-style businesses. I built this tool to help entrepreneurs understand the mechanics behind forecasting the growth and revenues of an ecommerce business, in a package that is easy to use, easy to edit, and easy to understand.

It intentionally simplifies the business down to key inputs, and by default does not include expenses and a calculation of net income.

For financial statements and full financial reporting, including full support for SaaS and subscription businesses, check out the Standard Financial Model.

Use in any recommended spreadsheet program.

Foresight's spreadsheet models can be used in both Excel and Google Sheets interchangeably; simply upload the Microsoft Excel model template from Foresight into Google Sheets, or download the Google Sheets to Excel, and everything will structurally work fine.

The models are originally built in Google Sheets, and the formatting is a bit better in Google Sheets; in Excel you may want to adjust the row spacing, fonts, and chart formatting to get the aesthetics you want.

We accept credit cards, debit cards, and PayPal. The transmission of your billing information is encrypted using secure socket layer technology (SSL/TLS) and will be processed by Gumroad. Foresight does not have access to your payment details (why it's safe).

Exchange: I offer exchanges for similar-priced models if we determine that a different model is a better fit based on your needs. Contact me and we can figure out if a different model would be a better fit.

Upgrade: If you find that you need more detail or structure from a more advanced model, you can apply your purchase towards a more advanced model. The structures are fairly consistent so it's usually fairly easy to take any inputs from your existing Foresight model and use it in a more advanced model. Just contact me for details.

Downgrade: I offer downgrades to a less advanced model if the model you purchased is more than you need. Contact me to learn more about downgrades and see if a less advanced model would be a better fit for you.

If you have any questions about the applicability of the models for your business or questions about the models, contact me anytime for a chat or a demo.

Refunds: I accept refunds on a case-by-case basis.

Financial modeling can be a complicated thing; I've worked hard to make the models as easy to use as possible, but this is a fundamentally hard thing, and almost without fail, with a little hand holding and direction I am able to successfully guide people on how to use the model to fit what they need.

If you have an issue, and you reach out within one month from purchase, I will first work to see if an exchange, upgrade, or downgrade to a different model is a better fit for your needs. If a different model is not a fit, and we've discussed how the model is not a fit for your business, then I will process a refund.

If you have any questions about the applicability of the models for your business or questions about the models, contact me before purchase, and you can explain a bit about what you're looking to accomplish and I'll help figure out if the models are a good fit for you. If you're looking for more information not covered online, I am also generally happy to do an online demo or discuss the applicability in more detail.
