Just curious if anything has slowed down for anyone.

Our hosting company has't changed much this month... but I also own an e-commerce / retail business (2bigfeet.com) and we've seen a major increase in sales. Almost double what we sold last month!

There should be an option for slight increase, or slight decrease...

That would qualify, I think as it staying the same. This is due to the effort of the question. I think that the question was meant to find out if business is better because of the holiday season, or worse, because people don't have time to buy other things. Or, if it just about doesn't matter.

Online sales this year according to the news, have been on the up side. In the design aspect of business, its been relatively good considering we received more work then any other month this year.

Oh Well....Merry Christmas to all....and Happy Holidays :)

Yes, I understand the point to the thread. But business this month has not been a major increase nor decrease. Its been a slight decrease.

I also am seeing a slight decrease in sales. I have been averaging about 1 new signup/day. But for the past week, I have only gotten 1 signup. I think it's because everyone is getting ready for the holidays.

Was quiet [not that I mind :D] at the beginning of December. Has picked up over the last 2 weeks. We'll have to wait and see what 2003 brings. :D

Things have been a little slower than normal the last 1 1/2 weeks. It should pick back up after Santa takes a backseat for a while. :)

The last couple weeks there has been an increase but www.cginsider.com is partly to commend for it since it's release.

This is our best month of the previous 6 months.

Most of our customer come from word of mouth anyway so it depends on if they are on their computers, developing sites etc. We don't advertise in any trade magazines or host directories so the only other reason we can think the increase has happened is due to people staying inside (Cold etc)

we have seen an increase, but that has largely to do with word of mouth i would say.

It was up for me, of course every month has been lately. I guess that's what happens when you just open a 3 months ago.
