Hi Ladies, I have some great news for you based on my 10 years of hobby experience.

February and August are the two worst hobby months of the year.

Feb:
* short month means rent and bills come sooner than usual
* Credit card bills come due from Christmas spending
* Valentine's day eats up our clients descretionary income
* Business owners have taxes.

So if business was slow last month I just want you to know that its not your fault and March is the beginning of a prosperous time, each month better than the last, all the way till the middle of July.

And our economy dictates that we stop offering discounts and start demanding what we are worth! Sure, reward your regular suitors, but don't let these guys haggle you lower than your comfort zone. Don't let these guys fool you into thinking that they can't afford to pay your worth. I'm not saying price gouge, but I am Saying you can rest assured that whatever you ask, there is someone out here who can afford it and who would love to tribute it to you.


This comes from the antique who has studied the trends for the last ten years. And yes, I've gotten curvier and yes I've gotten older and still, I turn down more requests than I can accommodate. So know you ladies are worth every penny you feel you are worth and settle for nothing less because the drought is over. You are welcome!

You're amazing :bigkiss:

This sounds like a twitter thread.

Thank you Hunter for sharing :adoration:

thanks for the nice feedback!

That is great advice. I am willing to bet alot of us needed to hear that. Thank you.

Thanks for posting this! It's always great to get perspective about "slow months" and have a reminder that business ebbs and flows. I've always found September to be my best month every year for some reason. If it's slow for you right now, just hang in there everyone.

Update, Funny thing, I think I spoke too soon. My business hasn't picked up like I had expected yet. Sorry, I guess I fired off a bit premature.

You scared everyone off. Potential customers thought you were too busy and didn't need them. We want to be needed. And need to be wanted.

blame fear of COVID-19. That thing has caused everything to go topsy tervy. SXSW cancelled? who would have thought? and my visit to the store tonight: there was no toilet paper to be sold. WTF

Many chains are out of daily essentials.

Thank you for this thread I think a lot of girls needed to hear this .

Thank you hunter this is a great thread

thank you for this! I do imagine that the rest of this month and perhaps next month may be a bit slower due to Covid-19. Hopefully, it will pick up once the weather warms up and the virus has died down. Or at least im hoping for that.

Awesome post!!

That is why we keep our regulars happy.
