Title: Slow Start Due to US Holiday on 9-4
Post by: Bad Company on September 01, 2017, 12:54
Remember there is a major holiday (Labor Day) on 9-4 for the U.S.  Most folks have already taken off for the long week. Sales should be back to normal by 9-7... 8)

How about a little game here? If I get 10 points or more on this particular post I will remove my account and disappear forever. Let the game begin  8)

Plus seven now I am slowly fading away with only 3 more pluses to go...

I'm trying to stay calm to see if sales pick up after Labor Day or if the summer slump is here to stay ... Honestly, this is the first year I'm not sure anymore.

A translation for the rest of the world.

9-4 = 4-9

Well I for one say thanks because not everyone lives in the United States of America and though it is not the entire world (contrary to some opinions) it does have an affect on sales.

One thing the US holiday weekend seems to have done is leave absolute zoomers doing the reviewing for SS.  Rejections for ‘non-English captions and special characters’ – Düsseldorf?  Who would use Dusseldorf in a search?  Only a Dussel.  And the same for Otto von Bismarck.  Given his methodical and detailed diplomacy, careless of him not to have an English name. Of course the same keywords in another batch were accepted without problem. ‘Property release required’ for a detail from a 200 year old statue in a public square. A weekend to send everything to Alamy methinks.

Shouldn't it be, if I don't get +10 I'll remove my account? How is a plus a negative?  :o

Got an EL on Monday, the holiday day. I can't figure anything by any system anymore.

I am at +9 now. Do you want me to close my account?  You have my MSG life in your hands. Yes, I will close my account today. If no, I will live for another day on MSG.
