For regular businesses (I'm excluding seasonal sales such as ice cream !) do you see your sales dip at all ?

I have seen this in all businesses I have been involved with and just wanted others opinions - seasonal sales of course will change - I was just interested in "normal" businesses

I know - I think there is a general downturn with the nice weather; although personally I have not see a lot of that at the moment - July/ Aug will tell

I've found now the weather is really hot sales have reduced a little but not massive - maybe about 5/7%
