Dog Days Of Window Tinting
It's HOT.
The air so thick you could cut a knife through it.

Folks are walking around like Zombies. (Or at least I am!)
So you would naturally think that August in Tampa would be the number one month in the year for selling window film?
Even back during prehistoric times our Neanderthal client base would typically delay making decisions in August. This sad state eventually resulted in their extinction!
Now I won't really complain (and if I do; somehow by saying I won't it will help!) but we do substantially more business on homes, commercial properties and cars during June and July; so what gives?
The excuses:
Back To School: The back to school theory has it that everyone is concentrating on their kids heading back to school and have no thoughts about their ridiculous electric bills or that their home feels like a sauna.
This would be a wonderful excuse except for the fact that the Tampa-St. Pete area is "God's Waiting Room."
Many of our customer have kids older than Obama and I assure you that they aren't heading off on that Yellow Bus.
Vacation Time: This is the theory that everyone is on vacation.
Seriously?
Check out the traffic on I 275 around 5:00 PM and tell me that all my neighbors are lying on a beach somewhere (or if you are really keeping score; we should all be in Alaska trying to get away from the beaches!)
Nobody has any money left!
Now I like this excuse but I know that its not completely true.
Of course our open quotes have generated some very creative excuses:
- Client is getting sued and is worried they won't have any money left.
- Client has termites and has to spend money on tenting their home.
- Clients Mom is very sick (substitute with any other family member)
- Client needs root canal. (OUCH!)
- Clients home is in a sink hole.
- Client getting a divorce.
- Client broke hip.
- Client's pet died.
- Client considering spending tn times more for new windows.
And that is just this week's excuses.
And you wonder why window film people in Florida do Hurricane dances?
