It's interesting how every year shapes up with the amount of potential work that comes in. I'm looking at my Old Leads folder, and there are some obvious SATURDAY dates that I did not have a single lead for this year.
Saturday 5/11 is perhaps the biggest one. ...It is Mother's Day weekend, BUT in almost every year in the past I always booked the 2nd Saturday in May. This year, not even a single lead came in.
Saturday July 13th and July 20th, I only had a single lead for each date this year. Zero direct inquiries.
August 17th, and 24th. Zero leads. August is typically slower, but I usually get a couple leads by now for these Saturdays in August.
Saturday September 14th. I only had 1 single inquiriy which was last year. Saturday September 7th. Also, only 1 inquiry for that date as well. Both are open.
Mean while,
Saturday October 5th, 12th, and 19th. Many, Many leads and inquiries for all 3 of these dates in my area. Saturday 9/21 also seemed to be a popular date. I booked it a year ago though. Saturday June 1st, and June 15th were also heavy demand dates this year. Saturday June 28th seems kind of popular as well.
I talked to my brother and sister, and they agree with the same dates being popular in demand dates this year. So, for us, it seems only 7 Saturday dates had a l ot of demand for this year. Every other date maybe just 1 or 2 inquired, and another lead or 2 online, or we saw nothing come in for it.
Of course New Years Eve, and a couple of Saturday in December will have some holiday party leads, and might end up being in demand, but too early to tell right now for those.
In your area, did you see different in demand dates? How many popular dates do you feel you had this year?
