Low Sales Excuses, Month-By-Month
You see it almost every week here on GFY: blaming the "time of the year" for low sales.
So let's break it down, month-by-month. Why? Because I honestly don't see these "slow times" matching up with the below list of excuses. Besides, if these excuses were reality then most Webmasters (if not all) would notice them, complain about them and do something about them. The below list may be "factors" but not "the reasons".
Sales low? Here's why:
January: Post-Holidays slowdown; Holiday credit card bills come due.
February: Shortest month; Presidents Day, Valentine's Day, Super Bowl (betting).
March: St. patrick's Day, March Madness (betting), Spring Break
April: Taxes, Spring Break, beginning of baseball season (betting)
May: NBA and NHL play-offs (betting), Memorial Day Weekend (mass travel)
June: HS/College Graduation, NBA Finals (betting)
July: "summer slowdown", 4th of July Weekend (mass travel)
August: "summer slowdown", vacation time (mass travel)
September: Back-to-school, Labor Day Weekend (mass travel), NFL starts (betting)
October: baseball play-offs/World Series (betting), Halloween
November: NFL (betting), Thanksgiving (mass travel), Black Friday
December: Holiday shopping, Christmas parties, various Holidays (mass travel), New Year's Eve.
So according to the above list EVERY MONTH should be a slow sales month!
Bullshit. Work harder.
