What if things have effected our season for the good? All the choices are things that would have badly affected me. I'm not sure if anything did. I had a better season since last year (first season I owned) and the best season the salon has had since '04 which was the best year the salon had. I don't know why. I think it was because I invested more time in being there, I cared more about sales, I was more experienced than last year, sent out a big mailer and did more promotions. I dont want to jinx myself because I have a feeling JASON is going to suck big time, BUT if any of those things did affect me I didn't notice. Can't wait until the economy doesn't suck so I can see what my season is like
Of course, I am in an area where gas isn't $4 yet except right off the expressway. I can still get gas at $3.89 for regular. So I'm lucky in that respect, hopefully my area won't get hit as hard as most.
