It's happened to all?
Not only less sales, I have less traffic also.

I use to have a lot of traffic (listed Nro 4 in Yahoo under "web host reseller") but this week was terrible slow!

We've actually been trying to figure out where all the new signups have been coming from.
Seems to be a little busier than normal.

Slow?? Not at all.

Business has been above average for us this week as well.

Strange week for us:

weekdays were quite boring,
but this Saturday, looks like we'll have a good day.
Maybe the infamous 'Xmas-gift sign-ups'? ;)

Opposite for us. Weekdays were good but so far this weekend, it's been slow.

It's usually slow right before Christmas (the day or two before) - but after Christmas it will get busy again. People are off work and school...and have lots of time to be online and think about ordering hosting. :)

Slow....but it's always slow before these kind of days, people save money to buy presents... annualy in the beginning of the new year sales go back to 100% (or higher :) )

i already have this since i started my business, it's completely normal to have good and lessgood weeks

Hi!
I guess it's god's way of saying you need a break. It's holiday time. Spend some time with your family and enjoy.... :)

A question for the busy ones... How do you keep up with suport and home needs at the same time... ;)

Or are all of you busy bees anti-holiday kinds.... work is worship..... and I'm having my fun with work.... etc.. etc..


Have a great day :)

regards
amar

P.S. Merry X'mas all

well, we have a system that send sms'es when there are troubles, and our service desk e-mail (helpdesk and also sales) is checked by 4 people, and everyone promised me to check once in a while during the holidays :)

I wouldn't really expect sales to sky-rocket after Christmas.
If you went christmas shopping, I doubt your CC bill will be low. Hosting would be the last thing I would worry about.


2 days before Christmas, and I still haven't seen snow this year.
