For the countertop sales businesses the transition into summer can be a tough spot. If your not booked out 2 + weeks you can find your self looking for something to do.
The best thing to do is plan for these times of the year. Have a promotion that can give you the competitive edge leading up to the beginning of summer..
 

as you mouse over from month to month you will see a consistency in when the most searches for granite counter tops happen and when they don't. See how low decembers numbers are every year. The main reason for this is that expendable income priorities change. Less people in market looking for the product and service. The Expendable income changes to other items and kitchen renovations are less of a priority in these times.
With a little planning you can head of these slower times with changes in the perceived value. Adding a free sink or providing a special on certain materials.
