Seasonality of products - overview
Seasonality is an important aspect of commerce, whether you sell in retail or online. It's a given that clothing sales are affected by the time of year, but you might be surprised which other categories are seasonal as well.

Put yourself in the shoes of your buyers and try to predict how your behavior changes based your activities over the months.
