I was just wondering, what does your weekly sales cycle look like? which days are your best/worst/average/good?
Sunday = Best Monday = Best Tuesday = Good Wednesday = Good Thursday = Average Friday = Worst Saturday = Worst
Thank you,

Sunday = Worst Monday = Average Tuesday = Good Wednesday = Good Thursday = Best Friday = Average Saturday = Average. Occasionally Below Average!
Thursday is usually best because it's the last day customers can order to get their goods by the weekend, without paying increased shipping costs.

Sunday = Best Monday = Best Tuesday = Good Wednesday = Good Thursday = Average Friday = Worst Saturday = Worst
Ours is pretty close to this although I would probably re-organize it like so:
Sunday = Best Monday = Very Best Tuesday = Best Wednesday = Good Thursday = Worst Friday = Worst Saturday = Worst
eBay is still a large component of our business so we've founded having some auction listings end on Thursday and especially Saturday (which is a big auction scooper day) helps even things out a bit.

I don't sell traditional product. But in terms of conversions, Monday's the highest, then it slides down to Sunday which is quiet.

Digitally
Sunday = Best Monday = Good Tuesday = Average to Poor Wednesday = Average to Poor Thursday = Average to Poor Friday = Good Saturday = Best
The majority of the time we have mid week dips, every 3 weeks or so it will stablize throughout though.

Cloudy, Rainy, Cold days = Best Sunny, Warm, Pleasant days = Worst
Day of the week doesn't seem to matter.

Didn't run data for this Sunday = Good Monday = Best Tuesday = Good Wednesday = Worst Thursday = Below Average Friday = Good Saturday = Almost Worst
I find our sales cycle mostly around pay periods - usually 1st and 15th. Obviously holidays seem to be low. Yesterday was really good - a Monday coincided with a pay day. This works well as people check in on Monday morning, obviously don't want to work and use the work computer to browse and shop.
