It is important to recognize how your business or industry is can be associated with the trends of each holiday and to create campaigns focused around the personal link between you and your consumer base. Memorial Day tends to be a popular vacationing or beach-going weekend — spring break is also huge for anything travel, Easter drives candy and food sales, and Mother’s Day is a one of the biggest gift and restaurant goer holidays.
