[5-DayForum] I don't do business on Sundays!

[Scott Ames]

I avoided Sunday not because of my beliefs, but because of the beliefs of about 50% of the people in this area. I regret that now. I would have liked to have tried Sunday as well. I may have had better results.
   
  Saturday night I ran out of time calling everyone back.. The frustrating part was that some of my hottest bidders could not be reached on the phone. I knocked it off and told everyone I would pick it up on Monday. ( another mistake I think ) .. Monday the bidding started again, after I got home from work. The energy was gone,  but I still had hot buyers. Then I made another mistake. One buyer wanted to wait until the next day because he had some commitmentsl so I did that for him. I totally messed it up by dragging it out. 
   
  Had I just gone by the book and not modified it to avoid Sunday I could have caught more people home. Those that had a big problem with doing business on Sunday would simply have to adapt or bow out.

Tuesday through Saturday doesn't work as well as skipping to Monday.  It's been tried--Sunday is the best Newspaper Advertising day--some people only look on Sunday.  Unless your beliefs prevent you from running advertising on Sunday, you will do far better Wednesday through Monday, skipping Sunday.

I've been worried that the delay to Mon might bring about bidders remorse, but then I figured if someone is going feel remorse, it will happen regardless of the timing.  May the Lord bless you for keeping His day holy.

Any suggestions for getting signs made since the pre-printed ones are all for a Sunday auction?
