Actually we have seen an amazing month, with strong selling days each and every day right up until now and we have just passed 180 sales for Jan this morning.
It really all depends on your customers, and of course the items that you are selling, but I hope that you see a turn around soon ๐

I have found that January always starts well as people are in a festive mood and haven't received their CC bills yet. Once the bills start rolling in and they assign any ready cash to repayments and back to school expenses, discretionary spending slows down.
Once the kids go back to school next week things will start to settle back to normal. ๐

Pretty much the same for me. Haven't sold anything since the 23rd, but good sales up until then. I have come to expect this around long weekends and back to school definitely changes a lot of peoples spending.

My sales follow that pattern month in and out - almost always have really good starts to each month, slows down to a dribble in the middle, then starts picking up again towards the end to follow on with another good start.
