Title: September: Boom or Bust?
Post by: StockManiac on September 03, 2006, 07:52

Many people have been waiting for September for a variety of reasons.  Here are just a few:

- The summer is over and everyone is back to work
- Europe supposedly goes on vacation in August
- Christmas is just over the horizon

So many people have been hoping that September will be great.

But will it live up to expectations or be a big disappointment?

What do you think?

I think it will be an average september which is better than the summer.  I allready have seen significant increase in sales in august over the summer.  I haven't uploaded any photos since the spring so it is obviuosly the season which is bringing on the extra sales.

Difficult to tell at this stage, but today was a dismal bust and I expected just the opposite. I made less than 50% normal sales today.

So how is September doing for everybody after the 1st week?

slightly slower than august here i'm afraid - holiday weekend in US took wind out of sails (or is it sales? heehee)

DT as usual is very good for me at the first week, but it tends to slow down.  I had a EL sale at FT, so FT is doing well.

Currently, at iStock it seems as it's my best month or as good as the previous best months (which were May and June). Hope that trend continues!

It's started very slow, especially SS. Hopefully it will be like July and pick up the 2nd week. DT has started going gangbusters with the $1 sales, so that will help the average.
