Predictions for 4/20/21
During the week of 4/20 this year (4/14 - 4/20), average daily sales in US recreational markets will increase by at least 30% over the previous four weeks. The average discount will increase by at least 20% over the previous four weeks. Average basket size will increase by 5%-10% over the previous four weeks. The increase in basket size will be primarily driven by growth in the number of items per basket, as opposed to an increase in average item prices. In other words, customers will purchase more items per trip, but not necessarily more expensive items than usual.
