Easter Eggs

We have seasonal trends at DrivenByQ. You can guarantee business travel will slow down during school holidays. Christmas and New Year are very quiet and Easter has an effect which can only be measured retrospectively.
If we compare turnover figures to twelve months ago, there are dramatic differences simply because Easter was on a different week. Once it is out of the way though, we can collect interesting data.
For many of our customers, it is a new financial year and it reveals how much they plan to travel. I have always said April is a good indication for the rest of the year. This is significant because we can plan when to spend.
In previous years we have found, April can also indicate if you should not spend! This April is our eighth birthday at DrivenByQ. We are hoping it is safe to invest more money in growth than ever before.
