| Is Business Unusually Slow? Or is it just me? |

We've been in business for a few years and usually can track down slowdowns to a number of reasons (technical, seasonal business cycle, etc.), but this time - it's just slow for no apparent reason! Anyone else in the same boat?

However, for whatever reason I see sites go through slow periods that are out of the norm and can be explained, Not change it traffic etc . . . But these periods are short term and sales return to norm pretty quickly. We look at those as "what was that" in the rear view mirror and move on.

I would expect for sectors targeting consumers it will be slow. Our business is 80% B2B which would explain our strong showing. If your target market is the general public...expect february to be one of your slowest months.
