Economic scenarios

Run your customers through a weaker currency, rising costs or a slowdown, and find the plans that hold up in all of them.

Questions Avir answers

  1. 01What does a 10% swing in the exchange rate do to our demand?
  2. 02If costs rise and we pass them on, how do customers react?
  3. 03Which of our plans still works if the year turns out worse?

The situation

A consumer brand had to pass on higher costs after its currency weakened.

Assumed

A 5% rise across the range will go unnoticed.

Simulated

Customers stretched the time between orders by about two weeks. Revenue was flat, not up 5%.

What it points to

Raise prices on best-sellers only, and hold the rest.
