Sales Forecast

The first two months will be used to set up the store front and generate both local and national visibility. Month three will be the first month with sales activity. During month three through five there will be only a small amount of mail order business. The reason for this is that it will take time to sufficiently develop visibility regarding the mail order operation. Month six will see a jump in sales activity for mail order and there will be steady growth in sales activity from month six on.
