I'm NOT going to use only a 5-week figure, and I probably shouldn't even be using 2 months, but sales have been dropping and therefore conditions have changed, so I am really forced to use a smaller time frame. A 5-week time frame, would be horrible. That is basing the next 3 or 4 months on just 5 weeks which sounds way too short for m |
What do sales in May have to do with sales in July? If it sold at 30,00 per week in May (random number) and 18,000 in July, which is the more relevant number? You throw out old data when considering trends, and you don't weight old data equally with new data.
