Anyone else getting slow vacation sales?

by JRemington

Is it just me or are sales slowing down like crazy this week? I'm having a s**t week

I'd like to blame it on the vacation period, less people surfing the web, less people checking their personal emails and more people outside, but maybe it's not that.

Anyone else see things going slow?

    Same here! The global economic instability is not helping either.

    Yep, numbers aren't looking too good right now... It'll pick up again soon though, as it always does. Now is a good time to take some time off and get some sun before getting back to the grind

    It's been like that since the beginning of summer for me. It seems be a seasonal sales slump with certain niches, and particularly Clickbank products.

      Sheeeeet

      It's like my CB sales just stopped dead! I was starting to wonder if they had some problem with their stats.

      However, Adsense and Amazon are nicely ticking along.

      People are weird! Clicking on ads and ordering whatever but not open to anything on CB during the vacation period. I'll just have to work double hard to make up for it

    I was experiencing the same issue about 3 weeks ago. I went 2 weeks with no sales from about half a dozen sites.

    The thing that changed this for me was my lists.

    I spent a solid 3 days on my follow ups and got serious about email marketing.

    As soon as I did that, sales came thick and fast.

      To keep your sales from slumping, step up the promotions. Offer specials, discounts, bonuses etc to your lists.

      That's very interesting. I did just the same yesterday, spending all day just getting one list to be perfect in terms of relationship-building, adding value and slipping in offers when appropriate.

      I hope I see the same improvement as you

        Yep.

        It definitely has made a huge difference. I did just over $1,000 in 9 days. 90% of the money earnt came from backend offers.

          Ok, I been in this game long enough to give you some big secrets.

          When it is winter, people are inside rugged up and the traffic online usually increases...and your sales normally do a little better.

          Now it is summer time and the boys are out with their mistresses on their yaht in the sun, and they are not looking at stuff online.

          But dont worry there is always traffic online, and as long as there is traffic online you will make money.

          So no need to make excuses.
