Why on earth would a fluctuation in a time series variable describing a random event (signup) be ridiculous? It is absolutely normal for ratios to vary. The lower your average sample size (# of sales in a period) the higher the fluctuations.

The McDonald's around the corner might have 8000 customers on a given Friday night. The Friday the week after they only had 4000 customers. 50% drop. I guess they're being shaved.
