All consumer goods go through sales cycles. These cycles have seasons in which their sales rise for different reasons, but an important one for any consumer good is the date on which it is sold.

 

Certain seasons of the year are better for selling certain products because consumer demand dictates trends in all industries.

 

Once you know the dates on which the best sales are made for your industry, you can also build marketing strategies for your product or service.

 

These are some of the products and services with the highest demand according to the month:

 

JANUARY

  • Gym memberships
  • Fitness apps

FEBRUARY

  • Tax Software
  • Indoor Furniture
  • Chocolate

Why does the date affect sales?

Because there are some constant factors that are related to the time of the year, such as:

  1. Public holidays, seasons and the weather
  2. The type of products being sold
  3. Public trends
  4. State of the economy
  5. Laws and taxes
