    I have always found that sales slow down after about the 20th December until towards the end of January every year due to the school holidays and the fact people have spent a lot of money pre-Christmas, Christmas and the above school holiday period. 

     

    Saying that, I guess it all depends on the items you sell; some will avoid the downturn to a degree whilst others don't. My main account sells very discretionary items so I can understand the slow down at this time of year. My other account is doing ok.

    January is TWO working days old. Hardly a relevant metric.

     

    You have feedback for 28 sales in the last 12 months, 14 in the last 1. So 14 FB in the previous 11 months. No sales in 2 days is hardly falling off a cliff.

     

    I won't be looking at your items to determine whether they are likely to be sensitive to times of the year.

     

    As far as I'm concerned you are trying to advertise.
