Right now it is winter and snow may still be covering the ground, but March is just around the corner so many people are already eagerly anticipating spring and warm weather. Parents will be planning their outings for Spring Break, thinking about gardening and spring cleaning and stocking up on items for camping trips and afternoon picnics at the park.

Regardless of what the groundhog said, spring is on the way and businesses should begin preparing accordingly. As more people are getting out and about to enjoy the nice weather, they will be stopping by their local pharmacy, gas station and convenience stores to stock up on everyday items.

Listed below are some popular impulse items you will want to have on hand for your customers so your business is prepared for a successful spring sales season!

Easter Items

Few people can hear the word “spring” without seeing visions of the Easter Bunny and Cadbury eggs. Parents will be thinking about dying Easter eggs and looking for items to fill their children’s Easter baskets with. DollarDays has you covered on everything your customers will need in our Easter section. We have popular items like toys, grass, jelly eggs, and chocolate covered Peeps.

Allergy Relief

Spring means the weather is getting warmer, the flowers are blooming, the birds are chirping … and higher amounts of tree and grass pollen are in the air. Seasonal allergies can ruin even the most beautiful afternoon with annoying symptoms like watery eyes, sneezing and coughing. Help your customers keep their allergy symptoms at bay by having 24 Hour Allergy Relief ready for them on your handy medicine counter display. 

Sun Protection

Spring sports, like track and field, baseball and tennis, will be bringing more kids outside to enjoy the fresh air and get a little exercise. But increased sun exposure also means they will need to lather up on sunscreen to protect their skin from UV rays. The American Academy of Dermatology suggests using sunscreen with an SPF of at least 30. Help your customers protect their skin by stocking up on wholesale sunscreen items. Sunglasses and baseball caps are a must for protection from the sun as well.

Rainy Day Items

It’s not a question of if but when those spring showers will hit and derail your weekend plans. For rainy days with no agenda, your customers will love passing the time with adult coloring books, notebooks and craft supplies for kids. And don’t forget to have foldable umbrellas handy for those individuals who don’t want to stay home.    

Conclusion

Spring is a season for new beginnings and you can create this atmosphere for your customers in your store. Once your business is stocked up on the seasonal items you customers will want, be sure to promote your products with warm weather messages. Add some new, bright colors to your spring sales signs so you can grab the attention of new and existing customers.
