Bring Easter Into Your Marketing
As the days grow lighter and the world begins to thaw, Easter presents a golden opportunity for local businesses to infuse their marketing with fresh, seasonal energy. Whether you’re looking to attract new customers, reconnect with your community, or boost visibility, tying your marketing efforts into Easter can help your business stand out and engage your audience in fun, creative ways.
Here’s how to make the most of this joyful time of year and bring the spirit of Easter into your marketing strategy.
Why Easter Marketing Works
Easter is more than just chocolate eggs and bunny ears – it’s a season of renewal, family, and community. It coincides with springtime, which brings its own themes of growth, positivity, and fresh starts. Consumers are naturally in the mood to get outside, spend time with loved ones, start new projects, and treat themselves.
For businesses, this mindset shift is a chance to tap into that optimism and enthusiasm with targeted campaigns that feel timely, relevant, and cheerful.
- Seasonal Offers & Limited-Time Promotions
One of the simplest and most effective ways to bring Easter into your marketing is by running a seasonal promotion. People love a themed offer, especially if it feels exclusive or time-sensitive.
Ideas include:
- “Egg-cellent Easter Deals” – play on words always work well for Easter!
- Buy one, get one free or 20% off spring-themed products or services
- Free gift with purchase – an Easter treat or spring-themed goodie
- Family-friendly bundles for local attractions, cafés, or beauty services
You could also advertise these promotions in the April Easter edition of The Link Directories, which lands on thousands of doormats just before the big weekend – perfect timing to capture attention.
- Easter-Themed Visuals
Visuals are a powerful part of your marketing, and Easter lends itself to plenty of bright, engaging imagery.
Think:
- Pastel colour palettes (pinks, yellows, lilacs, and greens)
- Eggs, bunnies, chicks, flowers, and springtime illustrations
- Outdoor family fun and Easter-themed displays
Update your advert, social media banners, website imagery, and email headers with seasonal designs. If you’re advertising in The Link Directories, consider refreshing your print advert with a spring-themed twist – or ask about their Link Creative advert design service to make something eye-catching.
- Host a Local Easter Event or Competition
If you’re looking to build brand awareness and engage with the community, an Easter-themed event or competition is a fantastic tool.
Some ideas:
- Easter colouring contest for children (entries displayed in your window or online)
- Guess how many eggs in the jar for a prize
- Facebook giveaways for Easter hampers or free services
- Easter egg hunt in your shop or garden centre
Local events not only build goodwill but also generate great word-of-mouth and content for your social media. You can promote your event in The Link Directories to ensure local residents know about it – especially those who may not be online!
- Add a Personal Touch to Customer Interactions
Simple, thoughtful gestures go a long way in creating loyal customers. Easter provides the perfect excuse to add a little seasonal sparkle to your day-to-day business interactions.
Ideas include:
- Handing out mini eggs with purchases
- Offering spring-themed refreshments in your shop or salon
- Sending Easter cards or small gifts to regular clients
- Decorating your shopfront, van, or reception area with Easter décor
It’s these little touches that make your business memorable and encourage people to return – and recommend you to others.
- Easter Content Marketing
Easter is a great theme for creating seasonal blog posts, social media content, or email newsletters that your audience will love.
Content ideas:
- “Top Tips for an Egg-citing Easter Weekend”
- “How to Refresh Your Home for Spring” (great for interior or home improvement businesses)
- “DIY Easter Crafts and Recipes” (ideal for family-focused or creative businesses)
- “Spring Into Wellness – Health & Beauty Tips for the New Season”
Position yourself as helpful, friendly, and in tune with your customers’ seasonal needs. Share your content in print, online, and via email for maximum reach.
- Collaborate With Other Local Businesses
Easter is a time for coming together – and what better way to embrace that than by collaborating with other local businesses?
Ideas include:
- Joint giveaways
- Cross-promotions (“Buy here and get a discount there”)
- Easter goodie bags made up of items from multiple local businesses
- Group advertising in The Link Directories to maximise impact
These partnerships not only increase your exposure but show your commitment to supporting the local economy – something customers really value.
Make This Easter Your Business’s Brightest Yet
Bringing Easter into your marketing is about more than just themed graphics or chocolate giveaways. It’s about embracing the spirit of the season – renewal, connection, and joy – and reflecting that in how you connect with your audience.
Whether it’s a thoughtful offer, a seasonal blog, or a beautifully designed advert in The Link Directories, these small steps can have a big impact on your business visibility and customer engagement.
So go ahead – give your marketing a spring makeover and let your business blossom this Easter.
