Title: Empty For The First Time Ever
Post by: carpet guy on December 23, 2007, 08:36:36 am
I have an absolutely empty diary for next year, as far as carpet and upholstery cleaning is concerned.

Am I bothered ?   Don't think so !

This game is strange, but wheather you get a slow start or a good start we always seem to hit our targets  ;)

The past two Januarys have been incredibly busy, which caught me out, being in Spain for three weeks in 2006 and spending time in exotic places , like Newcastle in 2007!!!!!!! Only a couple of days in the latter, but it was time well spent.

The market's  changing and you have to be prepared to change, to keep up, but there will always be opportunities  for the astute.

I guess this is the sort of thing you either have to look back upon after a few weeks or so, and then comment, or compare with the situation as it existed at this time in previous years.  Trends and events do change and a 'no bookings today' signal could be sharply reversed on a future occasion.

A good Xmas and New Year to all forum members
