Greetings,
I'm doing a project on H&M. I have the global quarterly sales from 2009 till 2012, and the pattern is always the following: second quarter (march,april,may) and last quarter (september,october,november) always exhibit the highest amount of sales, whereas the other two quarters exhibit a relative decrease. So, the pattern is: Q1-down,Q2-up,Q3-down,Q4-up. in other words, there's a clear seasonality pattern that repeats itself. My question is, do you know what causes or explains this pattern? Why are the second and fourth quarters always higher in sales, whereas the other two always show lower numbers? Any ideas or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
