It never ceases to amaze me. Peoples tendency to act in unison, independently of each other, how does it happen? Not only that there are certain days which we are busy with enquiries, but that the enquiries follow a particular trend. It is easy to understand why a cafe might be busier around lunchtime, and why they might sell more salad in the summer, it is not a mystery as to why Cornwall is full of people when it is warm, but why would there be a sudden interest in printed T shirts one week and embroidery the next, why would everyone suddenly pick up the phone and call us on a Tuesday but not at all on the Thursday, or Vice Versa, there seems to be no logic or pattern emerging. After 20 years trying to figure out some kind of system for predicting these sudden demands for one thing and the drop off in demand for another, I am on the verge of giving up. The switch from one trend to the next is much faster paced these days, and much greater in variety, the triggers are more diverse with satallite, internet and digital TV firing on all cylinders 24/7. Yet in spite of all these seemingly contrasting influences, some things are just right for the moment, they capture the collective imagination.

Ooops we are well and truly rambling now, this is a subject probably best left alone, maybe there has been a huge surge in this kind of blog entry today?! How can I find out? How do I get back to the promotional clothing thread?
