Online Summertime Sales Slow to None


Online Summertime Sales Slow to None

For many who deal with sales online, or in the brick and mortar stores will sometimes notice sales being slower. Some have not had many sales to speak of. When this happens, many of us will question ourselves about what are we doing wrong, do I need to change something, is there more I could do, and etc.

In all reality sales during the summer generally do become slower for many. Depends on what you are selling, supply and demand, and you know. Consider that many people, and families during the summer spend time vacationing, traveling, spending more time with family and friends, and their focus is not with buying too much of anything. Sure, they will buy when they are traveling, visiting out of town, and vacationing for different little souveniers. The majority of their time is not spending all their time online buying, but maybe emailing, researching with travel plans, some take the summer to prepare for winter months themselves with their diy projects, their online inventory, and things like that.   

Selling has usually been slow for me during the summer time which I have adjusted to. I have adapted with the sales being very slow, or if any at all. I like to try to take the opportunity to work more with my blogs, spend some time with my website, reorganizing things, do a little research about some diy projects, and hoping to take the time to repurpose pieces too. I also have been noting some of my inventory, reviewing past sales of what has or has not sold for me, and try to prepare a little bit for the next year or seasonal changes.  

Like many others I also like to take some time to go thrifting, yard saling, junking, visit some estate sales, maybe attend a few auctions, and enjoy the wonderful weather! It has been a different summer this year with the late start of it, but enjoying what I am able to now.  

So, if you are getting the summer time blues with your online sales or storefront sales, are concerned about slow sales, or no sales, don't be too worried. Just remember that summer time is generally slower for many. Now.....the season will soon be changing from vacations completed, traveling becoming minimal, and with school soon starting again for the little ones, those in middle schools, high schools, and college too. Once the season changes, and people are back home more they will be spending more time with their computers, and doing some of their favorite online shopping again.  

Hang in there everyone, things will soon get better!:) Thanks for sharing time with LilacsNDreams. See you all again soon!

Reorganzing Your Home With More Ideas to Share

 Reorganzing Your Home With More Ideas to Share

Hello, and Good Day to all of you visiting with LilacsNDreams! Happy to have you here with all of us. I hope that everyone had a wonderful weekend. Was very nice here, cooler at night, but gorgeous days yet. I am thankful for that because I am sorry, but I just am not a winter person. Fall I can handle, but that cold stuff.....Well, we don't get along too well. 

So, how many worked in their homes this weekend? Some might have crafted, some painted, some were gluing pieces, little bit of sanding, cutting wood, etc. If not crafting, did anyone get a chance to visit some Thrift Stores, and to go junking? I got 1 think glued, and other pieces are sitting together I have paired with each other, and that is all the further I got. I do plan on organizing more things around here, and am forever looking for other ideas of those who have done so to help inspire me into doing something. 

Below are a few more simple ideas to maybe help us with some of the smaller things. Great ideas, and some are inspiring too.


Here is another idea of how to use a 2 tier cake plate. Course I like it as it is something I enjoy making. This picture helps others see how versatile those pieces really are. Plate Glass Pedestal Stand repurposed.

This is one of them there simple things, and who would have guessed to do this, right? DIY Cable Organizer
This is a before..which we all can relate too. Then, here is the after. It was all organized with using binder clips. How neat is that? Another small thing from the office that can be used. Binder Clip Organization

This is a simple inexpensive thing to use. Actually my sister uses this, and it has done wonders for her in saving room, and knowing where some things are too. Pantry/Door Organizer  Many uses for this with snacks, packet seasonings, etc. Also, cut this down smaller to size to fit inside the cabinet doors as well. Neat, huh?

I always like that kind of rustic look with some things, and this idea is one of those times too. This is a wine bottle holder that is being used as a wrapped towel holder. How many times a towel is forgotten, and how things get messy getting out from shower to get one. If one of these was hanging by the shower, or near by anyway, would this not be a saver for all of us? Towel Holder  This came from another blogger at itsrusticliving.blogspot.com

Well, here you have it. A few more ideas of how to organize, and make things a little bit more simpler for you too. Hope you enjoyed this, and it was helpful to you as well. I know I got a few more ideas from this myself:) 

Hey, thanks for sharing your time with LilacsNDreams. Always a pleasure to have you here, and hope to see you again soon.
