Forecasting
• Forecasting is an important part of your business strategy – here are some
techniques and tools to use.
• Essentially, forecasting lets a business look at past trends plus their current position
and predict a future.
• You can use business forecast tools to help predict sales, budgets, and more. Having
an accurate picture of your business’s potential using data and market trends can
help you set and meet objectives.
• Here are some of the fundamental forecasting tools and techniques to help you plan
and strategize effectively.
There are several business forecasting methods that might work for your business that will help you
understand past trends and potential demand. The right technique might depend on what industry is
using it. Here are some of the general forecasting models often used by businesses.
Qualitative
This method is appropriate where no hard data is available. Startups, for instance, can’t project
against past data, because there is no past data for their business. They must use a subjective
approach then, that looks at the industry, market research, and relies on opinions of industry experts.
Quantitative
Quantitative methods forecast the future through looking at past data. This measurable, method-
based, analytical mode is appropriate for several statistical forecasting needs, including short-term
goals and planning.
