August 2012 assay figures show 16% drop on 2011


To make my total of 16%, I weighted silver at 20% and gold at 80%.  It suggests that anyone whose sales are growing is doing something right.   Curteis were level on last August, so our market share must be up about 20% (84 up to 100).

September seems more lively with good orders showing this week.  Let's see how the month progresses.  Our new website is about to be launched.  The blog will migrate there, where we expect to see a lot more traffic than on blogspot.  Packages and Instore are attracting many enquiries, along with Curteis Creates.  Even with the market dipping by 16%'s, we are set on a path of sales growth this year.
