Hows business in Canada

I have been trying to get a handle on the tanning cycle in canada,
what months are busier, when is it suppossed to pick up or slow down??

July was hot... and I was busier than crap, Aug slowed, and well... september you could throw a bomb in the place.... Oct so far is mixed...

So I was hoping some of you that have been in the biz for longer could give me an idea of the monthly cycles.

Sucks and has for two years. Tanning revs are up there, but product sales have been down a lot for me, and continue to be.

Re: Hows business in Canada

hehehe, sucks is not helpful Neon, I was kind of hoping someone in Canada, would be willing to kick me a suntouch or tantrack chart that shows the usage over the months, because I am relatively new to the owner position and do not have enough time data to get a feel for what months are busier than others.

My salon seems to run on its own agenda somedays... a wet or coldy day... business sucks... the sun shines and well I end up turning people away I am so busy.

if someone is willing to share a historical chart, it would be appreciated. I just want a little idea of what months are the real slow periods and what months I seem to peak out.

I know about the sunny days thing. Odd.

Here "peak" season starts about the middle of January, April and May being the big months, then it's decent til the end of June. Generally.

December can be ok, but usually only because of GC sales.
