The thread that is listed with this article is from 2006. It just confirms my suspision that we get so accustomed to the great sales near Christmas, that we forget that every Spring is like this. I have had several flops, a couple of ok and one excellent show so far this year.

Try not to get too down if you have a bad one. Learn something from it and keep going. The rule of thumb for new businesses is that it takes 3 years to be in the black.
