Is winter more slow when it comes to clientele?

Here in my city the work hasn't been consistant for masseurs and I was wondering if it has to do with the fact that is January.

In some cities like Washington, DC,  January & February attract more providers as hotels are so much cheaper in the winter.

Personally, I almost feel like we’re in a somewhat Covid re-make right now. Flu, cold and other viruses been going around, the politics and Ice in the news everyday probably has people feeling viral as well. 

I’m thinking of temporarily retiring because it’s been slow. Last week I went to 3 cities: only had 2 clients, both regulars which I enjoy…but that’s a lot of commute and days spent.

Also: winter business in a place like Michigan may be different than in a place like Florida. However going where it’s “high season” often comes with the added caveat of much higher hotel prices.

I feel like some people don’t realize that this is a business that has a demand and a market by seasons just like any other. Places like Arizona and Florida work better during winter than summer because those that can afford it move back and forth for the warm weather.

Washington DC has a lot of movement due to various reasons. It could be seasonal for spring, conferences or work trips. Among others that I could be missing.

The same thing goes for places like Chicago and Boston. Boston is more crowded during Fall and Spring. Chicago is more popular during summer. Both of those places become dead in winter.

You have got to read and understand what drives the market, where, and why. Then break it down to your niche customer base and where they could be going to.
