Slow August
I too generally notice a slow down near the end of August (not too much this year though) and have always attributed it to families being too busy getting their kids ready for school.
We always notice a big surge in sales after the first week in September. This is especially true on higher ticket items - I find traffic doesn't really go down, so perhaps people are just making sure they have enough money for school supplies and clothes, before spending money on their hot tub!
