SEASONAL SALES SLUMPS

Summer is the slow time on eBay. While the brick and mortar stores will do okay, we on eBay get to watch our sales tank big time from June - October. Fun in the sun is the theme for most people and so they aren't sitting at their computers whiling away the hours and doing impulse buying.

Ah but November to January makes up for it! And I do mean January too. Folks have cash in hand after the holidays and are willing to spend it. So if you have an eBay store, now is not the time to close it.

How about the rest of the year?

In February, Valentine's pulls up the sales for some sellers - the candy sellers, lingerie and card sellers especially enjoy a couple of weeks of brisker sales.

Easter helps out the clothing sellers - especially new clothing sellers.

 May through June is great for custom clothing designers because of weddings.

And on it marches through the months and the seasons.
