I do a few million in sales per week. Like some have already mentioned, sales fluctuate. I could day days without selling anything and then one day have someone come in and buy 2 million worth of harvesters. Much of my sales are returning customers, which I greatly appreciate. Its nice to have loyal customers. I used to spam advertisements in the Starports several months ago, and although it created some really nice sales, I just couldn't bring myself to spam anymore (I hate seeing spam myself). So now I rely on word of mouth. And it seems to be working fairly well.
The hologrind wreaked havoc on us. There were times that I was ordering hundreds and hundreds of walls and other subcomponents from several different suppliers and even with their help, I still couldn't keep up. And then it all stopped suddenly. Eventually, it started to pick back up again, but sales are no where near as high as they were back during the hologrind. So now everyone is grinding away for the trials and have left everything else behind.
BUT, architects are going to get another good profit streak in the not too distant future. When JTL gets closer to release, I think we're going to see a sharp increase in harvester sales due to the fairly large resource requirements needed to make spaceships. I think JTL will keep us in business a while longer. I'm hoping anyways.
