Thread: Is business good or bad atm?

Im in sales (self employed) and not affiliated with anyone, and ive noticed this month is really poor for sale. Alot of compeition are struggling, and say its like this this time every year.

Has anyone else noticed this?

Im actually thinking of new ideas for other business income streams as I seem to have all this time where im not working and twiddling my thumbs!

Lucrative industries I've seen:
Nutrition (my industry; hasn't been hit too badly)
Elderly care
Tech

I'm in advertising and marketing. Best year ever. I think people (business owners) are beginning to realize that if they don't do something in this economy, they're going to be out of business. In steps me... stage left.

one of my businesses is booming at this time only because Halloween is near. It will drop slightly in November but jump back up for Xmas.

try to start promoting for xmas then

Money is always in season. Being able to give it out is the problem. This is my favorite time of year as I sit down with my clients and prepare them for year end in order to be able to obtain financing for next year.

Business is flipping amazing right now, with a yearly sales goal of 7.4million we currently residing around 22~ with 3 months to go!

My 9-5 Is nothing but layoffs, but by business is slammed.

business was booming the previous 4 years (10-20% annual increase) and experienced a dip this year (guessing about 5-10%).

so a partner and i branched off into another company this year. best time to start a business because costs are so low

Aerospace is insanely busy right now. The company I work for is about 700 people and will double in the next 2-3 years.

I also work for Lucci Elite as their marketing director (forum sponsor); as you can see we are doing very well.

Other companies how ever are losing their asses; I feel bad, I can only continue to bring my business to them & wish them the best.

with all the government cutbacks in the national aerospace program, is the majority of aerospace business in the consumer end or defense?
