For most of the country, it’s hard to believe that spring has officially arrived. With record breaking snowfall and blistery cold temperatures, not only did folks suffer from a terrible case of cabin fever, but old man winter also put a big damper on winter sales. However, baseball spring training is in full swing, many kids and families are enjoying spring break, and Easter is just around the corner. That means, it’s time for a little spring cleaning of your company’s music on hold conent to spruce things up, so your sales will be in full bloom during the spring selling season.

Sometimes, all a message needs to break through is a slight shift in angle, and below are some helpful ideas on how to reinvigorate your message on hold marketing.  For starters, there’s a slew of upcoming spring-time holidays in which you can capitalize on to make up for slow winter sales. Here’s a few in which you may be able to tie into your strategy: Easter, Mothers Day, Fathers Day, etc. Plus, it’s also the start to weddings, engagement parties, and many weekend get togethers with friends and family.

Maybe you don’t run a business that can tie in holiday themed offers as a part of their marketing? Fear Not!  The arrival of spring is a welcome change for many of us. For example, if you’re a restaurant owner, maybe you’ve developed a menu that has spring-related items on it. This might include the vegetables and fruits that are in season, such as artichokes, strawberries, and cherries or other seasonal dishes, desserts and delights.
