 ABSTRACT

This sales analysis aims to examine and interpret sales data from a small business to uncover
valuable insights, identify trends, and make informed sales predictions. The study involves the
comprehensive review of historical sales records, including product sales, customer behavior, and
external factors affecting sales performance. Utilizing data visualization techniques and statistical
analysis, the goal is to uncover patterns and correlations within the sales data. The findings will
contribute to a deeper understanding of the business's sales dynamics, enabling more accurate
predictions for future sales performance. The results of this analysis will provide actionable
recommendations for optimizing sales strategies, enhancing decision-making processes, and
ultimately fostering sustainable business growth. The methodology involves a combination of data
preprocessing, visualization, and statistical modeling techniques. Initially, raw sales data undergoes
thorough cleaning and normalization to ensure the accuracy and reliability of subsequent analyses.
The application of advanced visualization tools facilitates the identification of trends and anomalies
within the dataset, providing a clear and intuitive representation of sales dynamics over time.
