White Mountain Puzzles — Revenue

Researched profile. The figures here are modelled by us from public information, published with the sources they were drawn from. How we research.

Revenue

The chart is three channels added together, and only one of them was counted. Amazon US is measured — each month end’s sold badge on every listing, priced at the buy box, back to September 2023 where Amazon’s badge record begins. Amazon Europe is an estimate, set at 40% of Amazon revenue against the United States’ 60%. Their own store is an estimate too: a monthly visit count, a 3% conversion rate and the $19.99 shelf price. Both estimated lines are held at a fixed share of the measured one, so all three move with the same season.

And the season is the shape of the whole year. On Amazon US the three Decembers in the record ran $893,712, $1.31M and $1.53M, each January gave back between 43% and 67% of it, and outside November to January that catalogue moves between roughly $226,000 and $571,000 a month. The older months are the softer floor — a puzzle discontinued since is not in today’s catalogue and counts as zero — so some of the climb between those Decembers is the method rather than the business. Of each month about two-fifths is kept, before returns and overhead.

Where the revenue comes from

Shares of every month on the chart, not just the latest — the two estimated lines are held at a fixed share of the measured one. Wholesale and the shop in Jackson are real channels and are in none of this.

These rows are the Amazon US month, the measured channel, and not the whole of the chart above. Inside it no listing is more than 3%: the ten best sellers are 18% of Amazon US revenue and the top fifty 49%, and the rest is a tail of puzzles each selling a few hundred a month or fewer.

“Sold / mo” is Amazon’s own badge, which is a band — hence n+. Revenue is that band times today’s buy box, so every row is a floor. All 199 badged Amazon US listings are here and they sum to the Amazon US part of the month; the estimated Amazon Europe and own-store lines are not itemised and are in none of these rows. 281 more priced US listings carry no badge, each under roughly 50 a month, and count as zero.

One channel counted and two modelled: the counted part is a floor, and the profit over all three is a ceiling. Margin breakdown has the rest.
