Are Your December Sales Volumes Low Or High?

JasonParker · 11-27-2009, 09:15 AM

Just curious if anyone wants to share... Are your sales volumes in December typically low or high?

I believe I actually had a great month on the lowend last year. Not much to show for the highend.

Hi Jason
my veiw is that dec is very low for sales because everyone spending there money on christmas and spending alot of time with family. so give it a try i might be wrong

JayXtreme · 11-27-2009, 10:28 AM

Higher.

But they always are. We really churn out some volume in content over the summer, in preparation for the "seasonal niches". Diversified niche marketing is what we do.

I suppose, if we were only in one or two niches, we might suffer at the end of the year.

Peace

Jay

Last December was my best month ever, let alone for December, doing over
$16,000.

If you have the right offer, at the right time, and know how to get it to the
right people, it doesn't matter what month it is.

I've stopped listening to the "this is a bad month for business" nonsense a
long time ago.

Interesting... the logic is that people are saving for gifts and what not, but it looks like you guys are doing fine. I did fine last year, but not much on the highend happening. However, it's right before December, but a friend of mine is seeing more requests for highend services and consulting than ever.

Steven, yeah I typically don't listen to the myth about Summer Sales and sales around Christmas either... or even that the economy's bad. My business has continued to grow significantly during the bad economy.

I'm just curious about peoples' online results at this time of year. What sparked this conversation was from talking with an offline business owner today who says in December that it's just survival time for them. It wasn't marketing consulting, just a friend of mine.

People are in spending mode in December more than any other month. It's just a matter of offering them something they want to buy and at a perceived good price.

In December I typically make many times what Steven mentioned

Yeah, but can you write rock and roll tunes like me?

I sell physical products, so things are moving along quickly and sold for more profit. I've already sold half of the things I purchased and listed this morning.

I recorded my highest ever level of online sales in December - roll on next week :-)
