Combat Slowing Retail Sales during the holidays and this election year
Every year the retail customer is distracted from kitchen remodeling with black Friday spending, the holiday season activities' and travel. When this happens the market for custom countertops shrinks from the retail perspective.. Less customer interest drives up competition and increases costs associated to acquiring new customers.
We are also being hit a little early with this election year and the consumer unrest that seems to accompany election years.
(This chart illustrates interest in the
targeted search term nationally for the past 5 years. As you can see every year
is the same.. as we approach the holidays retail customer interest in
countertops reduces due to holiday spending and the tendency to not want to
interrupt holiday events. Compound that with consumer unrest about this
election and we are seeing less retail activity this election year. You can
also see that interest grows in January through April.)

We are also being hit a little early with this election year and the consumer unrest that seems to accompany election years.
We have the strategies to help you keep the saws moving and the cash flowing.
How we combat seasonal slowdowns and election year uneasiness and increase opportunities for sales:
- Increase the perceived value (change the offer to be
more enticing to increase leads and closing ratio from available customers)
- Increase the budget to increase your exposure (Current
target market we are exposed to 30% of what is available)
- Increase target areas (you do this after we reach near 100% of the current
target market)
We are also approaching the holiday season so it’s a good
time to make this adjustment.
Once we reach November 15th there are less retail
customers in market so we can be more aggressive as illustrated above.
You can keep everything the same as it is now but you
will see this kind of variations in activity.

During the election of 2012 the holiday drop started to
happened on September 23rd 2012 vs November 15th every
other year.. This year we started to see this drop around September 11th
and the data is only available through October 9th 2016.
We can adjust for these things and increase opportunities
for you the ways that I have indicated above.
