It’s crunch time and if you are selling t-shirts (or anything for that matter) online you had better have noticed a sharp up tick in sales over the past couple days as people looking for that last minute gift idea are scrambling to get gifts ordered with enough time to have them shipped and received before Christmas.

Generally speaking I have noticed about a four fold increase over already accelerated Holiday sales which started around the second week of November. Talking to other online entrepreneurs this seems to be a median number. Some claim their sales only double around the holidays while at least one reported to me that her sales are always up around ten times what is normal during these final shopping days.

If you haven’t seen the bump yet it is probably too late to expect a Merry Christmas but take it as a signal to get on the trail to success and get ready for next year!

Christmas for retailers (online or otherwise) is a huge portion of our business with the holiday season from November to December accounting for 30 – 40% or more of yearly revenues. Miss out and your revenues are a lot lower than they should be.
