I own a hair salon. Typically, November is my busiest season. It has been SO quiet. A lot of my colleagues are also saying the same thing and have had to close up shop because of it - or get a second job.
People keep saying it will get better and the economy will bounce back but I don’t know. I am so close from just throwing in the towel, closing up shop and getting a corporate gig.
I’m in the broadcast industry and this year has been dead. Would say the worst. Trade shows are not as crowded as before and customers are very tight with money.
I also know some insurance companies, fishing rod company, supplement manufacturers, and things are very slow this year. For the insurance companies, it’s been dead this year.
It’s not just you.
I’ve seen more Chase Banks and CVS locations shut down several locations.
I help consumer brands with Amazon growth and would love to help some of your contacts on those industries
