Poor summer

Discussion started by tomislavveg

Not to say "cruel summer" :). My sales in July are very bad second year in a row. And im not saying on Cg Trader alone. All marketplaces combined made July to be worst month for second time. I don't know is it just me, or your sales to are bad during summer? Would love to know.

I am new to selling 3D models specifically, but I've worked retail for many years, and we always have slow summers too. In general it's because people are saving money to go on vacation, or they are on vacation and doing fun things that distract them from shopping.

Yes, this month is bad. There are still few days to end of July, but I can estimate, this month I got ~55-60% of my average income from last 6 months (from all 3d stocks). I have generally stable sales, last time I got such drop in sales in April 2015.

Yup, month is not done yet. Last month i got big sale literally final day of the month, which improved my overall stats. It's not done till it's done :).

I'm new to the site. in my all summer bad in sales. in the spring I at least 2 models sold. I only had 10 models. but number of models increased, became more than 30. but sales so more and not became.on the contrary, sales have decreased although the prices are normal, and I think the models are also quite adequate.. waiting for summer to end.

Also, from my retail experience, they say that people are more likely to spend money while they are feeling happy. Right now a lot of people are concerned that USA has elected/not elected a cheating lying stealing fascist who is leashed to KGB Russian mobster president and both are trying to destroy NATO and upend democracy around the world, so that might be affecting behavior too. Although I would think video games would benefit from a stressy time, so who knows.
