One of the interesting things about the diet industry is the seasonality of interest in products and services that serve the market. By seasonality, we mean the natural dips and peaks in demand a particular product or service might experience relative to the time of year and the market forces that correspond with these times.
It isn’t the approach of bikini season that drives the most interest in dieting, it is the end of the annual gorge fest known as the holidays that really peaks folks interest. You can only hide so much under your winter sweaters it seems.
There is an interesting dip that occurs this time of year for all those companies that serve the dieting industry. It is usually around early July and it is believed that it corresponds to the believe that people have that if they aren’t in shape to wear that new swimming suit by now, they simply aren’t going to be before summer is over.
This is of course unfortunate for the bottom line of all the dieting companies, but it is even more unfortunate for those who give up on starting on a new program to get themselves to a healthy weight.
