My June is off to a disheartening start.  Is this the beginning of the much talked about Summer Slowdown?

In previous years, my Summer slump * hasn't started until July, but as they say, the seasons are getting earlier.  :(
* Ha! I typed S followed by S first, and the system lengthened it to Shutterstock.

My sale over the weekedn have been pathetic, both at SS and IS. I heart it was a holiday weekend in a few European contries, so that must be it. Monday is pretty slow as well, but not that below average.

I wouldn't know.  I seem to have never pulled out of last year's summer slowdown.   :'(

It's hard to separate the effects of the last best match lurch from summer slowdown. But somebody's buying on SS even if not on iStock :)

My own records agree. June has always been a bit better than May, then July falls off the summer-slump cliff. Here's hoping that week 1 of June was weak due to fallout from May ending in Memorial Day in the US and banking holiday in UK (I think), and things will pick up this week.

My only really bad month is December.  I usually upload much more in the summer and I think that removes the dip in sales.

After a really poor week last week, bad weekend, slow Monday, Tuesday was my best non-EL day (for $$)  for at least 18 months (didn't look back further than Dec '10) and BDY for dls (not saying much - well under half of my best download day in my first year) . Then yesterday was slow again and only 1 dl all day today. :-(
Tuesday took me over 50% of my RC target to keep 30%, but Summertime is coming, and I can hardly imagine how much worse July-August will be ...

could be right. I think having fall content helps with summer sales too. last year I didn't see a big slump...but this year as JO Ann says, it's hard to tell what might be the beginning of summer slowdown, or what may just be the latest best match shift
