Do You Keep A Calendar Of Trends?

[Lee]

Just wondered how many of you folks have a calendar specifically used for plotting trends in the industry?

For example, do you write down your daily / weekly / monthly sales and traffic figures?

Do you keep a note of 'low' yielding time frames so you can plot 'patterns' in times when sales are higher or lower than usual?

I started doing this a few months back on a daily basis and i have to say, some of the information ive accumulated shows some pretty good trends.

Just wondered if anyone else did something like this with their business?

Regards,

I remember good and bad spots in the year, but I am over worked and stressed out enough as it is with-out having to mess with that.

I do.

I manually keep an Excel spreadsheet to watch trends with my movie titles that I produce.

I wish Affiliates would provide us stats in .csv form so it would be 1 or 2 steps easier to put into Excel.

Keeping track of other things, like when EBAY started cracking down on Gay Adult, and even Gay cinema, video sellers; when PayPal purged adult, and Gay, sellers; doesn't really need a physical Celendar.

Those benchmarks I painfully remember.
