How Are Your November Sales 2025?

Are you finding it slower than last year?

@Caprice   I had twice as many sales last year (6 in 2024) than I made this time around (3 in 2025 - the third one coming in from the UK just this morning).

I also have created a yearly comparison on our website (https://sanfrancisco.zone/2024_bestsellers/ and https://sanfrancisco.zone/2025_bestsellers/ ) which shows our sales visually on the US map (just scroll down a bit to see the map). I sell so little that I have time to maintain this page but of course I’m hoping that this will change next year, rofl. 🤣 Our current economy’s outlook doesn’t look to favorable for this idea so I’m fairly positive I will also have a “bestseller page” for next year, sigh.

PS: Today’s sale (#3) is not reflected yet at https://sanfrancisco.zone/2025_bestsellers/.

End of November is when it starts climbing to a peak in December for me, but looking back at the highs in 2022 (for example), the trend has been downwards across all my stores the last few years. Also, Redbubble's punitive account fees and Zazzle's new ToS have not helped matters.

I had 28 sales in November last year. So far, I’ve only had 12 sales in November this year. Very disappointing, especially since Zazzle is taking a huge chunk out of my earnings since it implemented its new Terms of Service.

The current economy, the 5-week government shutdown, and Zazzle’s new terms of service, all combined, have wreaked havoc on my Q4 sales.

I am at 40% of sales for this November so far compared to last year. However, I took my foot off the gas last year into this year and only starting back to Zazzle in October. So with the current situation in the US and my lack of activity I can see why. Note last November was down 25% on the year before, but I wasn't paying attention to Zazzle.

I guess I am saying "I'm down, but I am partly to blame".🙄
