Services provided by ITR Economics™

ITR Economics™ mission is to provide accurate, objective analysis of entire economies and specific markets

in order to assist American and International companies with timely and effective business decisions. A brief

description of our services follows.

ITR Trends Report™

Trends, forecasts, analysis, charts, and text for the

US, major foreign economies, and specific markets,

commodities and exchange rates are provided

monthly via the ITR Trends Report.

Want to see where a trend is taking us? You will

through the ITR Trends Report. When will the

trend turn, how high is high, and how low is low are

some of the questions answered each month for a

plethora of economic factors.

Asking an analyst about what you are seeing or

what it all means and getting an answer in real time

is an innovative feature of the ITR Trends Report.

If you need the data behind the trends, you can

access that directly too. An annual subscription to

the ITR Trends Report is $895.00.

Trendcast™ is a process by which we show you

where your company is in the business cycle, where

revenues are headed, and which indicators are

important to your company. If you know what

conditions your company is going to be facing next

year, you can make changes now in order to

maximize your revenues and/or profits. We provide

tried and true Management Objectives™ to fit your

business cycle so you are hiring or making cuts,

making capital expenditures, or borrowing money,

at the most effective time.

We take your company’s sales data history, convert

it into a rate-of-change format, chart the data

against leading indicators and U.S. market

indicators, analyze the results, and present you with

your own company charts, giving you a view of the

future. We determine which indicators lead your

business and by how many months. A follow-up

phone consultation is included. We make it easy

to keep the charts current from our website.

A Trendcast costs $4500.00. To schedule a

Trendcast, please call Kimberly at 603-796-2500.

ordering it. They include a macroeconomic

overview and a 3-year forecast of Industrial

Production plus as many industry breakdown and

forecasts as requested.

We offer 3-year company forecasts which give you

revenue estimates quarter by quarter. These are

delivered as excel files and can be updated for

years to come. A phone consultation with your

management team is also included in the price

of $4800.00.
