April Came in Winth the Speed of a Slug

April was certainly a slow month to begin  with.

It was the second lowest sales month of the year so far.  Only just over $370 for the whole month.

Sales figures show this month to have only been marginly better than February with $317 in total sales, and remember February has ltwo less days than April this year.

It is not a surprise though, in retail for April there was a lot of competition, from gift sellers, remember Easter and all that lovely chocolate was in the mix.

I did get a boost in sales over Easter too. Selling several religious books and a few childrens books like "The First Easter Egg" over that week-end.

That is a thing to remember, whatever your business model, you can always benefit from cross-over sales.
