I don't know but the Trend for me for the last couple years have shown that November and December are not as busy as they use to be.
The problem is I think customers think you'll probally be busy and they just don't bother to call. what ever it is....slow season is right around the corner 
gonna have to raise my prices...that means paying the customer more to clean their carpet for me ------------- www.mr-steamer.com |

Same here in San Diego. Just hasn't been as busy during the holidays as it used to be, although there's a lot of post-fire clean-up to be done this year. It should make up for the week off we had to take . . . and then I had a cruise scheduled right when business started to pick up again. Perfect timing.
