Methodology & Assumptions
This calculator models the dramatic seasonal variations in window and door demand, factoring in the 75% higher lead volume and 87% better close rates during peak summer months versus winter lows. It accounts for referral velocity (referrals close 45% faster in peak season), seasonal pricing flexibility, and the compound effect of efficient budget allocation.
Assumptions:
- Peak season represents June-July with highest demand and conversion rates
- Slow season represents December-January with lowest performance metrics
- Moderate seasons (8 months) perform at 85% of average between peak and slow
- Referral rates increase 35% during peak season due to active project visibility
- Lead response time stays consistent across seasons (affects close rate calculations)
Limitations:
- Does not account for extreme weather events that can boost emergency window/door demand
- Assumes consistent service quality and team capacity across seasons
- Regional variations in seasonal patterns may differ from national averages
How the Calculation Works
Calculates annual profit from seasonal lead generation by comparing peak season ROI (2 months), slow season ROI (2 months), moderate season performance (8 months), minus total annual marketing investment. Includes seasonal decay factors and referral multipliers.
peakSeasonLeads = Number of leads during highest demand period
slowSeasonLeads = Number of leads during lowest demand period
peakCloseRate = Conversion rate when demand is highest
slowCloseRate = Conversion rate when demand is lowest
avgJobValue = Average revenue per completed project
profitMargin = Net profit percentage after all costs
monthlyLeadBudget = Base monthly marketing investment
seasonalMultiplier = Budget adjustment factor for peak season
