It's time to spring into action

Blake Swinford,
Project Manager

Spring is in the air. The sun is shining. Flowers are blooming, the grass is turning green again and families are visiting cemeteries to spend time with their loved ones. Are you ready?

With Memorial Day right around the corner, your cemetery grounds will be full of families visiting and sharing memories. They may be interested in restoring their loved one's existing memorial, adding a medallion for extra personalization or even upgrading to something new. Talk and share stories with them during their visit. This is a great opportunity for you get to know the families in your community and learn how you can better help them.

If you are a memorial company, this time of year is a great opportunity to visit your customers as well. Go see them and talk to them about your products. Learn more about their business and how you can help them grow. If there is an opportunity to introduce a new product to them, see if you can help them start including it in their product selection before Memorial Day. You have been cooped up all winter, get out there and enjoy the weather.

And, as always, if you have any questions about the products we offer, call Customer Service at 800.798.4900.
