Seasonal markets offer many business owners and salespeople the opportunity to make huge amounts of money in short amounts of time. Commercial Christmas decorations can be sold for a short season but have a big impact on sales. Tourism based economies also benefit from short but fruitful seasons. Seasonal clothing and food can work this way too.
If you have your own business, odds are that you try to take advantage of the holidays to increase your profit margin. There are many ways to do this but one of the most popular is the holiday sale. You can decorate the store to reflect the particular celebration and have savings on things that might or might not be related to what you celebrate. For example, flags on a patriotic day would make a good sale item.
Seasonal foods are another great example. Some seafood can only be harvested for short seasons. Oysters have a short season where people can gather and eat them and the year's supply of oysters can often come out of the water in a matter of weeks. Game animals are the same. Deer season is the only legal time to harvest venison. Many places depend on these seasons to power their economies.
Holiday decorations are another way to show how this works. They are available year round but are more often than not purchased during or just before the season that they are geared towards. Christmas lights are on the shelves no matter what time of year it is but they only sell out during the winter months. The accessories that are available only serve to line the envelope with more cash. There are blowers for large inflatables and light strand holders to minimize the agony of knotted and snagged lights.
Halloween decorating accessories are another way to illustrate this. Pumpkins and ghosts are normally associate with October and with trick or treating but that doesn't mean that they can't be purchased during other times of the year. These short seasons power entire stores for a matter of months and provide a much needed profit boost.
Tourism based economies also benefit from seasonal profitability. Many of them share the same customers but at different times of year. Ski resorts are very popular during the winter, when fresh snow makes for great sport. During their season, people flock to them in order to rent rooms and use their slopes for exercise and fun.
When the ski season is over, often times the same people who vacation there during the winter will vacation at the beaches. These towns get most of their income during the warm summer months when people can play in and around their waters. These beach towns pack 12 months of revenue into 3 months of season. They offer rooms, restaurants and watersports to keep people entertained.
The holidays can be a very profitable time of year for store owners. Whether they are offering commercial Christmas decorations or Halloween themed yard ornaments, it gives them the opportunity to offer things that are sold specifically at one time or another. This buying frenzy can translate into great profits for a short while.
