New license options and sales

Greetings all.
I post and sell music here for about 9 months. I'd been experiencing a steady growth in sales until October which was my best month. However November so far is the worst, by far. I wonder if that is happening to anybody else, and I wonder why? Maybe buyers still need time to get used to the new license options, or, what else can it be?
Also, about the new license options... is anybody considering changing the prices of the tracks, maybe lowering them to compensate the new license options which already increase the cost of the file?

hi.
it would have to be a 90% lowering, so that the client (in this case, audio) doesnt feel such a big difference. it would not make sense. leave the prices as they are. (also, maybe just one in 100 sales will be extended, so you will lose the proftis on those 99 just so that you make the 100th customer feel more comfortable...it's not a good idea)
and, november is not over yet. dont jump to conclusions :D
and with 59 clips, what do you mean by "october best month"? meaning how many sales?

I have actually seen a HUGE increase in sales since the new licensing options have been implemented. I have around 350 files and usually get about 4 sales a month (this has been over 2 or so years) but the last 3 months I have been getting almost daily sales with a few breaks here and there, so around 15-20 sales a month compared to the usual 4. Not sure how the licensing option has effected this, but im not complaining! : )
