    Do you experience any slowdown in sales during this Christmas season?

    To be honest, this is one of the period that I don't really like :(

    Hi SEOTherapy,

    Sales are down as compared to last year. It was one of the busiest period for my business last year but things are rather slow and quiet. I am hoping that it will pick up into the Christmas as my products are gift-based. :)

    hello TheCrusader,

    Good for you :)
    Mine are not as good because most of them are niche products. It's time to diversify more.

    Yes. It is kinda slow right now. But that's the way it is during this time of year. Two months ahead should be okay.

    My sites are also slow during December. I'm expecting January and February to be blockbuster months. Am I setting myself up for disappointment?

    Yes the cyclical nature of things is kicking in I guess. Even beyond Christmas I am expecting the slowdown to curtail the expectations a bit. But hey! what goes down comes up :)

    Seasonal peaks and valleys. There are industries that rely on these holidays to make bank for the rest of the year, while others have to cope with the general slowdown.

    christmas is a time for holidays and vacation I'm sure people spend less time online during these few weeks. it should be better after the new year.

    This has something to do with the economic problem that is currently facing the worl. I am sure that when this is finished then we can expect a better sales.
