It?s summer now and for many industries, that means a slowdown. People are spending their money on vacations and outdoor entertainment, reducing the amount they spend on other market segments. Compounding the issue for the online community is that many people are outside enjoying the sun and are spending fewer hours on the web. That makes the web a less popular place to advertise. The end result? Less revenue for your site.

You are quite correct about the summer. The traffic is usually a lot lighter because many customers are out of town during the weekends and families are on vacation. A significant amount of agents do not even attempt open houses because they feel the clientele they will attract will not be as motivated or the small amount of people that do come does not justify the time and cost of an open house.

Anyone seeing signs of the summer slow down? This time of year usually results in lower revenue both from less users and fewer advertisers (possibly, they certainly crank up the spending as Christmas approaches.)
It can be a little demotivating to see numbers on established sites drop. I think its a good time to build and test sites to launch when things begin to pick back up again near September.

Now that summer has started I?ve noticed that several of my niches have really taken a hit, not just in lower traffic, but lower conversions. For whatever reason people are just not in the online buying mode during the summer like they are the rest of the year.

That's plenty...I've given you multiple industries, on and offline, and there are plenty more.
But thanks to you, I've let them all know it's just their imagination, or lack of motivation...okay all you interwebians...Will76 says there is no summer slowdown so it must be true.
