Ya man, this year my sales numbers are not what I would call A-typical for me. I just opened this brand new site and have no competition selling it so sales are a bit down, but nothing like past years “knocks on wood” But for people that sell one of the more publicized sites they normally take a real kick in the teeth this time of year.
All these family holidays, that Xmas is the king of almost always hurt sales a bit even when CC bill's do not come into play at all, like with the 4th of July or Thanksgiving. Now I am sure some of this CC bill stuff comes into play with Xmas, but think its more about people just not sure what their holiday will cost and being a bit more conservative that normal. Why after Xmas most of us will see a bump as people realize they made it though yet another Xmas. But yes this CC stuff takes a big back seat to peoples holiday plans, and just the fact they have something on their calendar they know they will not be at home for.
The big sales holidays have nothing to do with family or organized celebrations at all like Labor Day or Memorial Day. Now I would say these days are the best of the year, with tons of people with the day off and nothing really to do.
