Using Holiday Mode
Hi,
Not sure if anyone has any past experience with using Holiday mode or not,
We are FBM and had an issue with our printer yesterday, originally we just turned our Prime badge off to slow the pace of orders but in the end turned on holiday mode for around 2 hours in the afternoon,
Since going back live, our sales have hit a total slump, I have read that it shouldn't make any difference to listings/rankings/buy boxes etc but do others have any past experiences and know if it does take a good 24-48 hours or even longer to have the same momentum as before,
Thanks,

Yes I have found that turning on holiday mode slows sales and takes about a week to pick up again.
I only set it when I am on holiday for more than a week. We recently had a long weekend away and I realised that Friday orders did not need to be posted till the Tuesday, so I did not set to holiday mode.

I recently went away for the weekend, and after hearing about how holiday mode can be troublesome, I decided to set all my listings to 0 quantity the day before i left. I packed and sent all orders, and left.
When i returned, i resumed my stock to normal levels and began getting sales again almost straight away. This I think is the better option, but depends on how many listings you have.
