Anybody else notice or have an explanation for a drop in sales for the last week or so?
I have only had my shop up and running for a couple of months. I know the main rule is be patient, but I have had some decent sales since week 2 (2-3 per day or two) and then last Monday sales fell off. I mean to nothing-- not one sale in the last six days.
Has anyone seen similar trends? May it be because of the policy changes at CP? Am I doing something wrong or is it just a fluke?
that's a small amount of time to consider it a trend... there could be a million things... people on vacation... kids going back to college... the olympics... the election...etc... stay cool and i'm sure things will pick up... if not.. re evaluate and adjust and make money...
CafePress is very sporatic. I can go 6 days with no sales and then get 6 in one day... Typically the first week of the month is the biggest week and the last week the lightest week, so I hope you get some sales today I have sold on CafePress for 2 years now. I market CP items on my niche websites, but still get about 50% of sales from the Marketplace.

Hi. I have had weeks where I've thought all my customers have deserted me, and other weeks where I've had to work ninety hours to get everything through the door. Business is just like a roller coaster, you go down into the dips and come blasting out skywards on the other side.
Sales Off?
