The summer slowdown doesnt exist in that it is an actual period of time where sales are 'magically' reduced.

The summer slowdown does exist in that it was typically the period of time (2-3 months) when the old school sponsors used to turn their shave up another 10-15% and they used the 'summer slowdown' as the reasoning behind this to their affiliates without telling their affiliates that the shave got turned up.

Nowadays, the summer slowdown seems to be the excuse that many affiliates use to detract from the fact they have been partying a little to much over the summer months and havent really put as much work in to building their online businesses as they could have done. Whilst this doesnt always hold true, a good 80-90% of the time it does.
