As per National Retail Federation (NRF), people spent $21.6 billion last year on Easter in the US alone - and there’s going to be more hustle bustle this year compared to the last!

Therefore, it’s a perfect opportunity to promote your products, get new visitors, and connect with your audience.

In this post, we will look at some Easter marketing ideas executed by online store owners who know how to steal the show.

Plus, you’ll learn how to create a mouth-watering Easter email marketing campaign for your audience.

Let’s start.

Brilliant Easter Inspiration Ideas For Your Marketing Campaigns

Let's look at some breathtaking marketing ideas for Easter to boost your sales and engagement on your website.

#1: Conduct Easter Giveaways

It’s a must to create a fun and interactive atmosphere on your social media account with special Easter holiday giveaways.

Giveaways help in increasing your brand awareness, getting more followers, and showing appreciation to them.

These contests, on average, have a conversion rate of 34%, which is higher than any other form of content.

It’s one of the best Easter marketing ideas that certainly won’t go unnoticed.

This is a perfect example that provides an Easter giveaway by making visitors follow its Instagram account and tag their friends.

Your giveaways could be anything such as an Easter egg decoration kit, recipe books, personalized buckets, bunny chocolate eggs, Easter baskets, and more.

You can include your best-selling products as a giveaway prize that makes it easy to promote your products better.

#2: Give Your Email or Newsletter Campaigns a Touch of Easter Theme

Emails with dynamic and personalized content convert 6x better than usual marketing emails.

You can easily create an Easter-style branding, provide CTA buttons to your products/offers and social media links to get new followers.

Want a great tool not only to design but create, send, and A/B test email newsletters to smart audience segments?

Then you must take FunnelKit Automations - the most advanced WordPress automation marketing engine for a spin!

This is that email we designed with FunnelKit Automations (formerly Autonami) - which we’ll demonstrate later in this post:

A newsletter with an Easter motif can be an inspiration to shop for your awesome products again!

#3: Share User Generated Content

Customer relationships are crucial for all types of businesses and it’s important that you cultivate and nurture them.

Many marketers take advantage of user-generated content (UGC).

Encourage people by sharing photos of their decorated Easter eggs or crafts with a hashtag so that you can give them a shoutout.

You can also set up a contest and provide some cool gifts or special discount coupons to the winner.

Here’s an example of a UGC-specific contest arranged by Redefine Atlanta Realty:

They have reinforced the UGC Easter marketing idea by resharing the pictures on their social media accounts.

If you’re looking for Easter promotion ideas for restaurants, then there’s nothing better than user generated content.

Such content helps spread the holiday joy and raise awareness around your brand.

#4: Inspire Users with Recipes or DIY Tips

Content such as top Easter recipes, DIY Easter egg decorations, how to have fun with your kids over the long holiday weekend, find the eggs contests, etc. surely hooks visitors.

Creating such valuable content and putting it on your website will surely create an engaging atmosphere. 

Instead of putting such content as plain blog posts, you should create them in a video format because 83.3% of users prefer watching video content on the internet.

If users find something useful, they’ll surely come back with a gift of customer loyalty.

Here’s an example of DIY tutorials posted on Instagram:

They have linked their YouTube channel on their Instagram bio where visitors can watch this DIY tutorial.

Creating fun and engaging DIY is one of the best Easter marketing ideas to increase engagement and build your brand.

#5: Boost Sales with Easter Discounts & Coupons

Almost all consumers around the world seek a good deal for their online purchases.

On average, 93% of online shoppers use a discount coupon to make purchases on eCommerce sites.

Therefore, Easter, unlike any other seasonal campaign, is a great opportunity to drive traffic and sales with special discounts and coupons.

Take advantage of the holiday to reengage your previous customers and encourage repeat purchases.

Set up high-quality Easter campaigns by lighting up your website, running social media advertisements, and setting up a pop-up promoting a special discount coupon.
