Just wondering how everybody is doing sales-wise lately. We’ve seen a pretty big spike in business over the past six weeks. As a matter of fact, April was our first up month, year-over-year, since April 2009. The economic reports are looking pretty good - stock market up, economy created jobs in March, consumer spending topped the pre-recession record from November 2007.
We have had great sales over the past six weeks while we have significantly reduced advertising and discounting. April 2010 was 12% below my best month ever but was my most profitable ever in six years.
How are you feeling right now about business? Are you getting optimistic again? It’s just starting to feel like old times again and I’m starting to actually think about growth for the first time in over year, as opposed to being focused on survival. I’d be really interested to hear if others are feeling the same.
