Yes, Feb is the slowest month for me. Now, I say "slow" but still making enough to live on comfortably, just have to pad out the advertising a bit more and make myself available more days than usual.
Jan was actually very good for me, and normally isn't too bad, as people haven't been hit with the previous things I mentioned. Tax bills for self employed get issued at end of Jan, as we should all know, and credit cards bills havent been received yet, so people are still in the "ohh I'll treat myself" mindframe. Then all the bills hit and people reign it in over Feb (normally the week after pay week). This is likely to continue until March.
This is when I am so very grateful to my regulars as I really wouldn't survive without them during this period. But I have been using the extra time constructively with getting in (better) shape, going full force on my marketing strategy for the year and having my incall premises completely freshened up. Not lost time in my opinion!
Just a few more weeks ladies, stay strong!
