it's all the same
Our slowest time is December and January.
Jan & Feb
In the last 5 years we have not found that we have a slow time of year.
It seems like the general consensus for most of the business people who have responded to your question, is this time of year, January/February/March. Kind of interesting that most of these businesses slow down this time of year. I wonder if that's because consumers are spending this time hunkered down and in saving mode until Spring. It would be really interesting to see a graph of the slow times for each industry in comparison to each other in a month-by-month format.
We don't really have a slow time since the majority of our business is jewelry repairs that come in year round so we are always busy with that kind of work. As far as people in the door buying off the rack/shelf it would probably be summer since there are so many folks that do outdoor activities in this area as opposed to shopping.
Generaly, Nov thru March
It is the slowest from mid December to mid January. We focus on training and business development.
All of November thru January. We like to focus on Family time and what we are going to do different for the new year with in the business.
December is probably our slowest month, depending upon the weather. Although in 2017 and going into 2018 we really haven’t seen a great deal of slowing down. During a slow period, we would concentrate on perfecting our system. It may be within our software or procedures or even in manufacturing our product
