I was just reading Bob Larson's thread on getting new customers and it got me thinking about how slow it's been since the new year (probably due to most people spending all their money at christmas.) I'm guessing Bob's business is feeling this on top of being new. Anyway, I was trying to think of what framing trends there are in January, but I can't think of anything that I usually see a lot of during this month... Do you ever notice a trend in customers framing certain things like wedding photos and vacation photos after the summer. And of course the Christmas prints, x-stitches, and puzzles in November and December. I bet mailing lists could be a bit more efficient if we knew all the trends. It might give them the idea to frame those trend things when the time is right instead of random "Frame your old photos" mailings.
