rough poll

not that anyone can tell me specifics, but when did the slow down begin ? What month ? Is it in line for what you'd expect seasonally, or how much more off % is it ?

Are requests changing ?

Are you in an area where advertising by slipcover selling retailers is becoming more visable ? Becoming aggressive, or just not appearing anymore ( like they gave up ).

Personally, I see strategies changing, and everyone is secretive about how slow it is.

I got a email from Libya from a regular customer so I know I have stuff in the tube heading my way, otherwise it sure it mysteriously slow ( maybe not so mysterious ).

I had 3 big jobs the end of June and through July... everyone wanted slipcovers done before summer was over...

nothing for August but then I usually don't have much in August unless it is a teacher...

How is that?

For me, slips have pick-up since I listed with the website, and I do other things as well.

my slow down started in spring. I try not to read too much into what the phone does or doesn't do. However I see the stores fibbing to me about how busy they are. The company line is " we are very busy ". I am in alot, I don't see it.

I just talked with a gal in Minnesota and she says business is really good.

Then I looked at her price list which she has online..

She needed to raise her prices.

Again she could do half the work and make more money...

Are you worried about not working?
