TERM
Sales Decomposition Tree
Breaks down sales growth into contributing factors.
Definition
A sales decomposition tree shows how changes in price, volume, mix, and distribution drive overall sales performance.
How to Calculate
Start with total sales change, then allocate differences to price, volume, mix, and distribution using variance analysis.
Why it Matters
Helps pinpoint what drives growth and where to focus resources.
Key Advantages
Provides transparency, supports strategic decisions, and improves forecasting accuracy.
Example
A snack brand’s $10,000 growth: $4,000 from distribution, $3,000 from price, $3,000 from mix.
Use it to
Decompose total sales into drivers such as price, mix, distribution, and merchandising. Use the tree to identify which levers account for observed changes and where to intervene.
