Do the opening hours make a difference for customer?

[Daniel]

I don't know if it's just me or if they have a difference, but it's seem in the morning i receive less customer, and after 13:00 it's become sometime more animate with more customer,

i don't know if the hours change the customer, but after more day, i view between 12:00 and 13:00 i have no big customer, big amout of customer seem coming when my market close,

and in each day they have always a customer they come neer the close and make me smile, because they buy neer all the thing in my market and when they come to pay, OOOPPP!!!, too late, i can not buy all this, and all that and you lose my ton of money, they make this at each day... pfff, ha ha ha

anyway, if the hours of the day have an impact on the customer i think it's will be better for me to open at 13:00 and close to 8:00, else, it's seem in the morning they have no big activity in the market,

but perharps it's depending of the type of market we have too, i have a giftshop, so perharps they have less people in this type of market in the morning than in a restaurant for breakfeast or other, i don't know,

And you, what is the time when you receive the pic of the customer, the time when it's become full animated in your market?

Yes they do, if you pay attention to the customer graph you can see where your peaks are at and they can differ depending on the business.

In my oppinion, no. Good Marketing and 100% Stuff males Money 24/7.

Every business seems to have different "peak hours" depending on what kind of business it is. Fast food is busy around lunch/dinner time, coffee shops in the morning, and most businesses seem much busier in the daytime than late at night or early in the morning. It's still worth it to staff a large business 24/7 and have only 1 register open late at night, in most cases.

ummm, yes, i think i will take more time to test this...,

i have a gift shop, and i try to be resalistic in the thing i sell, so i have lower gift, high gift, flower, and wines, and after looking my chart each day on 7 day, it's seem 8:00 to 16:00 for a gift shop it's not the best, so i will try 13:00 to 21:00,

and in the same time, in looking the customer buying my beautiful thing, and it's perharps just my imagination too, but it's seem each thing have an hours where the people buy it more too,

by example, wine in the morning are bad, but neer 14:00 15:00 of the day it's begin to be good, for flower, not in the morning, for gift, it's good always but seem more actif after 12:00, but it's normal, it's a gift shop,

only for the cola i can sell one or two bottle time to time but not at each day..., perharp i need to put the air more dry to make her wanted something to drink ha ha ha

[Deam_Rules]

they do.
marketing doesnt affect the income that much atm - thats what i noticed
the income mostly depends on the day of the week

[Cotaks]

Yes it matters.

My gift shop runs terrible in the morning.

from 00:00 - 10:00 2 customers an hour (steady)
from 10:00 - 24:00 15-25 customers an hour (fluctuates)

Ofcourse it fluctuates, but is also linked to the demand of the goods(market insider).

Maybe running an AD campaign may alter it, never used it besides for tutorial purpose.
