Sometimes i'll have a horrid week so I wonder if it's a first or last of the month thing, but then the next month around the same time i'll have a great week. Some lesser holidays i'll have horrible days, some will be fantastic.
The only thing i've yet to have success on are the major holidays like christmas, thanksgiving, etc. I don't have enough sample for testing though, maybe this christmas i'll have the best day of the year.
As far as summer goes, if the summer slowdown is currently in effect, i'll take it because i'm noticing little difference in ratios than I had in the winter. Hopefully it doesn't get worse through June-July, but i'm starting to buy into the summer slowdown myth.
I'm keeping better track of my sales now, so i'll have better week by week data to look at as time goes on. ROI trends, etc. Maybe in a few years I can report back with better info ;)

Yeap, "Slow downs" only occur in the past. You never hear anyone saying, "BOY Tomorrow is going to suck since it is ________" But you always hear, " Sales down today must be because of ______ " IF "Slow downs" exist why can't anyone predict them
There are people who swear by them but these same people only talk about them AFTER they happen, which also just so happens to be a day that THIER sales were low. The funny thing is you hear the Summer slow downs... Someone has a good day, you hear nothing from them, the next day sucks they bitching it is because of the summer slow down, then the next day is good again,, wtf? Intermitting summer slow down days
People are so quick to look for an excuse (other then themselves) why they are not doing good they will jump on any crazy nonesense they hear other people saying.
FACT: Everyday will be a good and bad day for someone. For every person who is crying they having a bad day you can count on someone else having a great day. I guess those people aren't affected by the slow downs they must have their anti slow down magic shields on..... rediculas that people, even successful people defy logic with this and believe in this myth like a 6 year old believes in santa claus.
