Spring’s Must-Have Essentials
Spring celebrations go beyond Easter. As Spring blossoms and the flowers bloom, warmer weather nationwide inspires us all to spend more time outdoors while also preparing to stay cool indoors. Last Spring, we noticed a surge in orders for items that help beat the heat with orders for air conditioners spiking by over 2,000% and fans by over 600% compared to the season prior. But the warm temperatures aren’t for staying indoors - it’s about enjoying the outdoor season to its fullest. And last year, people did just that! DoorDash saw a spike in orders for beach towels (1,400%), grills (357%), and patio furniture (338% compared to the winter season).**
