I don't ever give a fuck why things are slow if I can't control them but for sure things dipped in the summer and exploded during Christmas break. There was nothing to fix, I fixed it by diversifying and now I have some mainstream things that slow down every month or two for a variety of reasons.
I only have piles of adult revshare now but spending is easy enough to track that way and there are still waves although not as pronounced.
I just can't believe you never actually noticed. You could probably go check historical stats and see. Remember if you dip 10 or 20% the guys with a few says a day go from sporadic to /\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/ |
Being a paysite and Program owner I do not see 'summer slowdown' BUT I do see that the two worst months for sales throughout the year are:
1. April
2. September
3. March
I have 10+ years of data to back these trends up. So why these three months, in this particular order?
1 - April: Tax season, duh.
2 - September: Back-to-school expenses, college students moving in, end of summer Holiday/vacation spending (all tapped out)
3 -: March: Lots of money-spending events going on, like Spring Break, March Madness (college basketball), opening of baseball season, St. Patrick's Day, and I'm probably leaving out a few.
Ride the waves and prepare for the upturns.
