I suppose its where you live, how long you been in business and if your any good or not.

Post by: Neil Grainger on August 11, 2006, 06:47:23 pm: Flat out here in Yateley, Hampshire. Lots of Upholstery and I hate Upholstery. August was best month last year, seems much the same this year as well. September was bad though so am taking as much work as I can this month.

It does go up and down for us all but it has made me realise to take all the work as and when it comes.

Hope it picks up for you all very soon.

Post by: bennymon on August 11, 2006, 06:51:21 pm: hi folks how much would you expect to earn in a bad month ?
Title: Re: its oh so quiet
Post by: the red carpet on August 11, 2006, 07:07:40 pm: £0 ;D seriously though i think it depends what your used to, if you are taking less than half of your average turnover then somthings very wrong. And it can only be somthing your not doing in my opinion.

Marketing is the key even in busy times, if you let it slip it will show down the line.
