Sales by Product Category (Bottom-left bar chart)

Insights

Category SalesAmount

Fashion 278.72

Home & Kitchen 266.23

Electronics 261.73

Books 258.8

Despite being a close competitor, Books are lagging slightly compared to other categories.

Recommendation

Fashion clearly dominates, but the gap is small between other categories. Consider
cross-promotions between Fashion and other underperforming categories to
encourage purchases across categories.
Sales by Customer Demographics (Middle chart)

Insights

The gender distribution is almost perfectly balanced,


with 50% female customers and 49% male customers.
This suggests that the product offering appeals equally
to both genders, which is great for maintaining broad
market appeal.

Recommendation

Since the gender ratio is balanced, you can


maintain neutral marketing strategies but
might want to dig deeper into specific
product preferences by gender to target
promotions better.
Sales by Brands & Categories (Top-right bar chart)

Insights

Electronics (AmazonBasics and Fire


TV) are performing very well in
terms of sales.
Fashion has steady sales across

Kindle, Echo, and Ring (electronics)
also show strong performance,
indicating an affinity for Amazon-
branded electronics.
Recommendation

Continue investing in AmazonBasics and Fire TV marketing campaigns, as they are


performing better than other brands. Books and Home & Kitchen categories can
benefit from focused brand development to increase their share.

forecasting and stock management. Preventing
stockouts should be a high priority as it impacts sales
and customer satisfaction.

Insights

between driving sales and maintaining profitability.
Consider personalized discounts or loyalty-based
rewards to retain margins.

Insights

The actual sales amount (324.67) is


significantly below the target of 1.07K,

Recommendation

Analyze whether the sales targets were too


ambitious or if there were specific reasons (e.g.,
stockouts, low traffic) that led to underperformance.
Adjust marketing strategies, discounts, and
promotions to bridge this gap.
