The weather and business

[JamesSmith]

Over the last few days it’s been pretty warm as I’m sure we all know.

This weather benefits some businesses but doesn’t others. Industry I am involved in for example, warm outside will mean less people wanting to sit at their computers.

Saw quite a dramatic sales drop over the warm days. First sight of rain, I predicated sales will pickup to the previous level. What happened? Yes, sales picked up the day the temp was lower.

There was one good thing however which came out of the warm spell. Support tickets also saw a dramatic drop

A very good point - and there also seems to be something of a dip over the summer when the holidaying season really kicks in. But the dip in support tickets in good weather - does that mean that people in the webhosting industry can get away with summer holidays?

I hope so :P
