Typically in the cleaning and restoration business, clients prepare for the holidays. Once the holidays are there, it is time that kids are home from school, family are going on vacation. People are spending on gifts. It is also winter time where weather also plays a factor. These are times that crews should get vacation, equipment maintenance should be done and it is time to recharge you batteries. Take the time to work on your business rather then in your business. Catch up on your business readings. Work on your strategic as well as business plans. Work on your marketing plan. Bring gifts to the building managers and stores that refer business to you.
Cherish the fact that this little breather that you have give you the opportunity to do all the things I've outlined. Before you know it you will be looking forward to this time of the year. Sent from my Verizon Wireless BlackBerry

I remember twice, when I sold my business, this time of the year and the phone was DEAD for this season. The new owners were very disturbed. But then Feb/March it all kicked back in. I have been in this a long time and learn to just enjoy the slow times, keep a low overhead to lessen the stress of slow times.Sent via BlackBerry® from Telstra

Subject: [sccpartners] QUESTION
Hi Partners,
One of our newest Partners has asked a question that I thought would be great to put out for all the Partners to comment on.
The question is regarding the seasonality of the stone and tile restoration business? Over the years, many of our Partners have stated that December through mid to late January is very slow. Has this been your experience? Please respond with your input. Include what region you are in and what your experience has been. For those of you outside the U.S. what has your experience been?
