Finance Affiliates - Before or After Xmas

All,

Noticed that this time of year, retail affiliates are having there better and most competitive months during the run up to Xmas which i'm sure is expected.

How do the finance affiliates find this time of year going up to xmas?

Is before or after Xmas a busier time for the finance sector?

After Christmas is better.

we tend to find the week the credit card bills hit the letterbox is a busy week.. millions of people going "oh my god I spent HOW much".. is then followed by a rash of balance transfer card applications and consolidation loans etc.

Or an IVA.....

Just what I thought to be honest, then again I thought alot of applications would be made during the run up to xmas thinking, I am so skint it looks like its corned beef sandwiches with tomato ketchup for xmas lunch unless I get a credit card!
Anymore comments around finance programmes successes, before or after xmas?

Thanks for this sort of info Yvonne, lets hope the programmes your down on pick up during and after the festive season. I think the applications which you are upon is some how expected, I imagine the insurance sector is an all year round product. Saying that you may have thought up until Xmas there would have been alot of people reviewing there contents insurance or taking it out if they don't have any.

Cheers
