Put spring into your marketing with these Easter campaign ideas
Easter and the arrival of spring is the perfect time to launch a marketing campaign for your business. As the days get lighter and COVID restrictions are eased, customers are getting out and spending more.
There are various ways you can promote your business and, of course, grow your sales this Easter. Here are some ideas to consider online:
Interactive marketing campaign ideas
Options include a quiz-style campaign, a treasure hunt or some other Easter-themed campaign.
You can also reach more potential customers by making an online marketing campaign go viral - by encouraging contestants to share your social media posts.
Campaigns might include sharing or commenting on a post to be entered into the competition.
In this case, make it as easy as possible for them to share on social media.
Sometimes an interactive campaign can be used to collect data such as capturing the email addresses of potential clients, rather than to immediately generate a sale. You can then use the campaign to remarket back to your customers to sell to them at a later date. For this to be effective, the best approach is to capture email addresses and make sure that they are happy to receive emails from you in the future. Read more about GDPR compliance rules.
Launching a new product or service
Everybody loves stuff that’s new, right? From fashion retailers offering a new spring range to accountants offering a free spring clean of a company’s finances with top tips for improving cash flow. There are plenty of ways to generate interest with a new product or service that’s relevant to the time of year.
Other ideas include online food businesses having an Easter-themed menu and a trade business offering an Easter check-up (or as it’s not too far away, how about a ‘get ready for summer’ service!).
An informative, trust-building campaign
Another great marketing campaign idea is to provide valuable content to potential customers and build trust with them.
By inspiring potential customers with useful blogs and emails that include top tips and other information you can demonstrate your expertise within the business sector that you are specialising in and build trust with customers who don’t yet know you very well.

Offer Discounts or coupon codes
The most effective offers are time-limited, although you can also restrict the offer by the number of purchases - for example, the first 30 people to buy can receive 30% off.
You may have heard these words so many times in the past - and that’s because they work!
Discounts and coupon codes are more effective in generating sales in the short-term compared to an informative trust-building campaign and, if successful, you can repeat them later, possibly with a slightly different offer.
