Sales sucking

[Dzinerbear]

Mercury's been in retrograde for most of the month, just fell back to normal last night.

My sales always suck in retrograde periods.

Things will pick up this week..they always do!

My Sales were great in october, accross the board!

The first week of november was also very good, however since then things have been up and down. Huge sales on day, low the next, ect.

I think it could be a lot to do with the holiday season.

I was thinking about other factors too. I wondered if most Americans get paid at the end of the month? Put that together with buys stuff for Christmas and people will have much less money towards the end of the month? Hopefully we will have a good firts two weeks in December!

When the does the Holiday effect fizzle out?

Lee.. i see what you mean about needing alot more sales than what you think you need to live no before quitting the day job!

The weekend after Memorial Day was my best ever. Top revenue for a single day. Otherwise, November is pretty much average, not seeing any major changes really.

[webnet]

the average for this month is a little bit low in sales, but yesterday was my best day in years,
internet is crazy ;-)

So far this month has sucked for us also. Maybe because people are doing their x-mas shopping.

We seem to be doing OK. Perhaps being in such a niche we dont ever seem to get the flux of traffic that everyone else is mentioning. We seem to be really steady with the number of new sales...and of course our recurring is always good.

The only time I ever notice even a slight slowdown is in July. Which I blame on Apple Pie. Dont ask why.

I just launched a new site and sales have been off the charts .

I think November is going to be my best November in 4 yrs, but I'll just have to keep my fingers crossed that I don't get these up/downs a few of you have been talking about.

If you are currently down....don't worry too much it'll pick up again, it always does :luke:

most people i know get paid weekly or twice a month.

don't forget thanksgiving - it's a family holiday and money is spent as well as some people getting an unpaid day off on friday. also something else a lot of u.s. folks have to budget for is an unpaid week off between christmas and new years.

Northstar! Haven't seen that guy in a while. The super-hero I mean, not the webmaster

October was ok for me. But now in November, I am still under average. I also think it is because of the coming christmas season. I can not compare it with last year, because there were pretty much new sites to promote and new sites always convert at the beginning well.
But for sure sales will become better very soon. That it what I know from all the last years.

Summer sucked for us. I think that when guys are paying $100 to put gas in their cars a lot of their expendable incomes vanished.

When gas prices started to drop before the elections, sales started picking back up.

Did anybody notice that the price of gas started going up THE DAY AFTER THE ELECTION and have gotten up on average 2 to 3 cents a gallon a day since.

Anyone that thinks those F***ing Republicans weren't controlling the price of gas are crazy. The who damn thing was, and is, contrived. As long as our current jerk is in the white house and as long as his family continues to derive a large portion of their income from oil and as long as they remain friends of Saudi Arabia......we are in for a rough next two years.

Back to the sales question......the holidays have always been a good period for us and sales started to pick up this month and should continue thru the holidays.

Sales still very bad for me. Haven't picked up this week at all.
If it doesn't get better after Thanksgiving I'll have to find full time job.

Here here....November started out strong for me traffic & sales, but the past week and a half has seen a complete drop in both....Grrrr...Where are the porn addicts?!!:fucked:
