BEST Weekend for Sales in MONTHS! "It's Beginning to Look a Lot Like Christmas"..............

[katzrul15]

Well..............it has been a GREAT weekend!

We have been busy all weekend and the orders just keep coming in tonight.  I am SO glad I did not turn off the Store yet..........

Hopefully everyone else is seeing sales this weekend??  We are about 14-15 days of shipping left.  How were your sales this weekend?  Hoping they were Good/GREAT!!

Awesome to stumble upon this post. Normally because of the negativity of the posts about sales here, I don’t choose to weigh in much about how well or bad I am doing.

But seeing so many here mention how well their sales are is rather uplifting. And those who replied that they aren’t doing so well have their chins up hopefully motivated to push thru and wait for that swing… because it always will come if you’re persistent.

I’ll keep the momentum going. I already knew sales would be good for me once BF came… and it has. Record breaking numbers. And CM>BF. What actually surprised me is that this weekend broke those records. For instance Today>CM>BF. Staff is prepared to pull in later working hours and I probably (haven’t been) won’t be as active here for the next few days aside from taking a break to unwind. Actually I wouldn’t be surprised to see less of some members here for the next few weeks for the same reason. Great problem to have.

Good luck all.

@katzrul15 Glad to hear it! I ran a 10% off sale this weekend and sent some offers, and sales did pick up....could be better, of course, but I'm hoping maybe sales are going to speed up now....wishing everyone great sales and Happy Holidays!

Normal for December, which means absolutely dead.

This will continue until Boxing Day when my collectors decide to treat themselves to all the things they didn't get from their loved ones.

I don't get fussed. I am taking pictures and adding products for my post Christmas rush.

Speaking of Boxing Day, do you guy's have HUGE Boxing Day Sales over there in the B&M stores ?

It is absolutely humungous here, too bad I hate crowds.

Me too. I think I might actually need to make two trips to the PO tomorrow-- I don't have a car and even with the aid of my wheeled shopping cart, there's no way I can juggle 5 12'x10'x8' boxes plus a 10'x8'x6' and two smaller ones.

For us, your boxing day is our 2nd day of Christmastide....Christmas Eve thru New Years Day and ends this year on 1/5. On the 6th, it is the Feast of the 3 Kings and then the tree and decorations can come down for another year!!

We have started having offering day at church on your Boxing day.......  for B&M stores, everything is usually 50% off that was Christmas/Christmas related.

Yes, but they call it Boxing Week. And sometimes it starts before Christmas.

Tomorrow is December 6th , Santa Claus' Birthday* and I decorate the tree and turn on the outside lights. The tree comes down on Epiphany.

The holiday season is really stretched out this year. Diwali was in November, Channukah is just over, then Christmas, Kwanzaa and Little Christmas. Then Lunar New Year in February, Easter mid-April and Ramadan isn't till the end of April followed by Eid al-Fitr in May.

Seven months of religious holidays. Whew.

Love to hear positive posts !

Sales are good here !

We don`t sell clothing or glassware so maybe that helps .

Clothing is doing fine, actually.  For having not much running and trouble finding inventory, I'm doing pretty well on a couple of sites.

And yes!!! On the positive posts!

@chapeau-noir

[ckimodog]

[vintage-camerastuff]

BAH HUMBUG!  It won't be long my little pretty and your sales will TANK AGAIN!  HA HA HA .

In the mean time sell bunches and bunches of stuff and MERRY CHRISTMAS!

[katzrul15]

@ckimodog 

Too funny!!!

Buyers are buying.............it has carried into today as well.  Which is good.  We all need sales to increase while there is STILL time to ship them and get them there!!!
