Are things slowing down?
Is it just me, or are things slowing down? Has anyone else noticed their
sales slowing ... or stopping? I was looking at the different Yahoo groups for beading... and the posts in the groups have been dwindling, especially this month. What's up? Has the beading craze peaked and on the downslide? I hate to be a party pooper, but the trends are alarming me. -- Karleen Page/Vibrant Jewels Vibrant Jewels Online Bead & Jewelry Store http://www.vibrantjewels.com/jewelry/welcome.htm JustBead Auctions http://www.justbeads.com/search/ql.cfm?s=21770 PayPal Merchant Account https://www.paypal.com/mrb/pal=7XJ98L86Z7S2C

One of my clients sells gift baskets and she called this week to see if
there might be a problem with her online shopping cart - she hadn't had a sale since the 5th and that was very odd. There was nothing wrong with her cart, so I'm thinking it's the economy... and/or maybe other people are like me - I've not been spending as much because I've been really worried about all the bad stuff going on in the world - I'm worried about the future. When people are worried about the future, I think they tend not to spend on non-essentials.... I'm sure I could be completely wrong about that though. -- Pam Brisse The Blue Between - handcrafted jewelry and bead art http://www.bluebetween.com "Karleen/Vibrant Jewels" wrote in message ink.net...

I have had a very slow month. Right now I have a few bids but not across
the board on all my auctions. embay is fickle and so is the internet. "Karleen/Vibrant Jewels" wrote in message ink.net... Is it just me, or are things slowing down?

Has the beading craze peaked and on the downslide? I

I think the problem is that summer has hit here in the east and people are
busy doing other things. It will pick up later on. Roxan "Karleen/Vibrant Jewels" wrote in message ink.net... Is it just me, or are things slowing down?

I agree with everyone about summer slump, but oddly enough I've have better
sales in the last few weeks than since Tucson! Go figure. I'm still baffled by the person (gender uncertain) from South Korea who bought a bunch from my store AND two auctions. Nice, but still surprising. I'll puzzle my way to the bank on that one.

Has anyone else noticed their
sales slowing ... or stopping? I think you all have overlooked the obvious. Your customers are saving their money for B & B! And those that aren't buying at B&B are busy getting ready to sell there! I think the rest of the month will be slow for all of you. Cheri (Bubbee to Emily and Nathan)

Bead & Button show is next week...folks are all hoarding cash for a big
spending spree. At least, that's my excuse. In the last couple of weeks I had to really hold myself back from buying. Barbara
