To all providers: Do you find that business falls off in the holiday season, such as thanksgiving and Xmas? I would expect that the colder areas of the country may be more subject to a falloff because of the inclement weather. For example, the golf season in the winter in the carolinas is very sporadic and very subject to the weather.
Do you ladies find that the demand for your services falls off and therefore you make less money? I have noticed that some providers offer "special packages" such as two hours for the price of one, especially around the holidays.
Just curious !!

Seems about the same for me.
The only time I notice it slowing down is right before taxes are due.

Yeah businees is quite like that in this area.  I always thought as it gets colder, the hornier people get or is that just me?

I've never worked in December or January and I'm curious too!  I've asked other providers and agency owners here in London as I'll be working this year and heard conflicting opinions about how busy or otherwise things are.

What I have noticed is that there is often a dip in demand when children are on vacation from school.

That is the only time its really slow. In the summer it does die down, but not to where there is no work.

My worse time is the weeks surrounding Valentine's Day.


Shaye

Even AFTERWARDS?

Shaye, I would be delighted to see you during Valentine's Day 2004.  Hope all is well now?
