The graph compares and contrasts data on the changes in relating to how much money three outdoor clothing companies generated from sales over a ten-year period from 2004 to 2014.
The most striking trend is that of the sales growth of Hiking Kit. In 2004, the company had the lowest turnover, while ion 2014, it led the way in this area. Similarly significant was the rate of decline in turnover of Bradly Outdoor Wear. At the outset, it had the second highest level of turnover, but ended in last place, having suffered a significant drop in sales revenue. Ski and Snow Wear, on the other hand, enjoyed fairly steady sales revenue, though it did drop from first position in 2004 to second position at the end of 2014.
Taking a closer look at the performance of the individual companies and starting with Hiking Kit, in 2004 it had a turnover of approximately $ 1.5 million. From then on, sales revenue rose steadily until 2006. It then remained quite flat until 2008, when turnover began steadily increasing year by year again until, in 2014, approximately $3.4 million was generated.
Next, with regard to Bradly Outdoots Wear, this company’s figures were the most disappointing. In 2004, it generated around $2 million in turnover. For the next two years, the company registered a slight increase before turnover flattened out in 2007. From then on, turnover fell, with the sharpest fall in 2010. By the end of 2014, turnover had decreased to around $ 1 million.
In contrast, Ski and Snow Wear has performed fairly consistently. In 2004, it generated around $3 million in turnover. Thereafter, turnover rose steadily for two years before gradually falling back to just under $3 million in 2014.
