I’m going to have some time in August for something different. Normally, I analyze catalog businesses via actual customer transactions. Those projects are a bit more costly ($15,000 to $30,000 … as you already know).
If you’d like me to look over your existing reporting and existing segmentation for the past several years to see what trends I can identify … and how those trends impact the future, contact me (kevinh@minethatdata.com). This would be a week-ish (timeframe) review and would cost considerably less than the normal month-long project that you’re familiar with.
