25 email subject lines for springtime

Nestled between the demanding holiday shopping season and the busy summer months sits springtime — the often-overlooked retail shopping season. Spring is the Jan Brady of shopping seasons to the Marcia, Marcia, Marcia of winter and summer.
You shouldn’t ignore the spring months for marketing your business. In 2017, Americans spent $18.4 billion for Easter and $5.3 billion on St. Patrick’s Day. That’s a lot of Easter candy and green beer.
While other businesses are coming down off their holiday high or gearing up for the summer, savvy business owners know they can stand out with delightful deals in shoppers’ inboxes during the spring.
Lest you think you only have Easter and St. Patrick’s Day to hang your hat on, we have a list of the holidays and events that make for excellent email marketing in the spring months from March through May.
