in the 10 years I have been doing this I have to say fortunately July and Aug were good to us as well - the Internext show in Florida has netted some great opportunities that should carry us to the Christmas season. From the webmaster perspective - sales really are growing slowly. Every year it is the same pattern, but it is during those times that we must make more effort to continue the curve.
for content providers, Christmas has been a curse - though I have made sales the eve of Christmas which surprised even my boss. Hoping for one last show with the GFY event here in Toronto should keep the curve upwards. I still have a huge list of clients and contacts to work with that will keep my busy.
unfortunately there is no single pool of marketing stats by which we can support our claims - but these next few months will be needed to create new ways to market ourselves smartly - and get ready for the new year.
Keep it always fresh and in your face - you'll ride over any presumed hump
