Top tips for Easter email marketing

Easter Email Campaign: How to Egg-cel at Email Marketing this Easter

By Gabrielle Uncategorized

As one of the biggest holidays of the year, Easter creates the perfect opportunity for your business to do something special. Creating an Easter email campaign is one great way in which you can get involved in the seasonal fun this year.

Designing an email template to use for your Easter email campaign is super fun, but with so many businesses competing, you want to make sure your campaign stands out to your customers.

Here are some of our top tips how you can egg-cel (we think we're funny) at email marketing this Easter season, plus some awesome examples of previous Easter campaigns...

Tips for Your Easter Email Campaign

Try out a new color scheme

With Easter falling in the middle of spring, it's fun to change things up in your email design and opt for a bright, fresh new color scheme.

Typically, pastel colors are popular at this time of the year and really give your design a springtime feeling. Experiment with different background colors, or just a subtle pop of color in your headline or CTA (call-to-action) buttons.

Bright orange and yellow tones are also typical in many Easter-themed designs. Again, if you want to keep things simple, you can use these colors as an eye-catcher to help highlight important aspects in your design.

This design by B + C shop keeps it more simple and uses yellow to highlight headlines and important text.

Include typical Easter themes

Lambs, the Easter Bunny, small chicks, Easter eggs, etc; these are all traditionally associated with the start of spring and the Easter celebration. Incorporating some of these symbols into your email design will help make the Easter theme clear from the get go.

Hold a sale

Spring is a very transitional time, which makes Easter a great occasion to hold a new season sale or special promotion. Send out an email campaign promoting your latest products, so customers are prepared for the new season.

Of course, a regular X% off sale is also always effective - especially during a special occasion.

Sales such as this work particularly well for fashion brands, furniture retailers, and consumer goods businesses, where stock is frequently being updated.

Oasis use Easter as the perfect excuse to hold a new season promotion.

Promote family activities

As well as many school holidays taking place around this time, bank holidays also often fall around Easter. This makes it a great occasion for service- or activity-based businesses to profit from.

Use your Easter email campaign to promote fun activities that the whole family can do together and get customers inspired.

Try putting together a holiday activity guide or suggesting some top travel locations for the time of year. Helping customers come up with creative ways to keep their kids entertained over the holidays is always a big win.

What is International Women's Day?

Before you start coming up with a concept, it's always good practice to read around the topic. Not only does this help you to better understand the event, it also gives you further inspiration for your campaign.

International Women's Day takes place each year on 8th March and dates back to the early 1900s. It celebrates the achievements of women and emphasises the importance of gender equality.

The day has massive global significance and is celebrated all around the world. In some countries (including China and Vietnam), the day is a national holiday, whereas in others, it is seen as a day of formal observance.

Traditions vary from gift giving, or charity events, etc. and in recent years, the day has become a huge trend on social media.

Tips for your Women's Day Email Campaign

Make the theme clear from the get go

Celebrate the day confidently and introduce the topic in your email straight away. Include the term "International Women's Day" in your subject line so interested readers know they should open your email.

Use a large, central headline to deliver your campaign message. This shows readers that you're not shy about celebrating women and makes the day the main focus of your email.

Use bold imagery

A picture speaks a thousand words, so use powerful imagery to celebrate strong women. A unique feature image is an effective way to get your message across to your customers and can also be super motivational.

Your feature image could be a colorful illustration, a poignant photo, or a text-based design. Whatever you opt for, position it centrally to ensure it steals the show in your email design.

Here are some uplifting examples:

Celebrate with a promotion

A promotion or special offer is a great way to show that your brand is fully behind the cause. Aside from the regular sale or X% off, you could also think about doing something outside of the box.

Launching a special edition product or holding an event and donating your profits to charity are both good ways to support the cause.

Have fun

As the old saying goes, "girls just wanna have fun!" If appropriate for your brand, try to include some fun elements to your campaign. This could be bright colors, a fun font, or witty email copy.

This is a positive celebration. Use bold, bright colors like pink, yellow, orange, etc. to bring a celebratory feel to your design.

Remember the cause

This is your company's chance to show that equal rights are important to you. Remember that the day is about celebrating the achievements of women, and try to include this in your campaign.

Think about how you and your business can celebrate female success and ensure this is reflected in your email's message. Try showcasing some successful women connected to your industry as a way of recognizing their achievements.

Sending Emails for Ramadan and Eid ul-Fitr

By Gabrielle Mail Designer 365 Newsletter Academy

As almost a quarter of the world’s population, Islam is the second largest religion in the world, making Ramadan and Eid ul-Fitr two major events in the spring marketing calendar.

Depending on where in the world your customers are located, Ramadan and Eid may already be a key part of your marketing strategy. However, even if you are not planning a major campaign, if you know you have a muslim customer base, it is a kind gesture to recognise these big occasions in some way.

In this guide, we're taking you through some useful tips on what to include in your email messages for Ramadan and Eid ul-Fitr.

Get expert email best practice tips delivered directly to your inbox!

What is Ramadan?

Ramadan occurs in the ninth month of the Islamic calendar and, as one of the five pillars of Islam, is a very important time for Muslims. The month of fasting begins when the new crescent moon is first visible in the night sky and ends with the arrival of the next lunar month.

During Ramadan, Muslims fast all day from sunrise until sunset. The fast is broken each evening with a special meal known as Iftar, generally celebrated with friends and family. Traditionally, dates and water are the first things consumed after a day of fasting. Before sunrise, many Muslims will also take a pre-fast meal known as Suhoor to help keep their strength up for the coming day.

During Ramadan, Muslims are also expected to help the poor and donate to charity. It is also a very spiritual time and provides many people with the opportunity for meditation and reflection.

When Ramadan comes to an end, Muslim families across the world celebrate Eid ul-Fitr together. This is a really important occasion and is marked with prayer, gifts and great food.

the holy Quran

Why should I consider sending emails for Ramadan and Eid ul-Fitr?

Due to the special nature of these holidays, your Muslim staff and customers will be highly appreciative of you taking the time to share a special greeting with them.

Not only this, recognising and celebrating diversity also demonstrates your company's core values and your respect for others. This will go a long way in the long run.

What to Include in Emails for Ramadan and Eid

If you do decide to send out an email greeting for Ramadan and/or Eid ul-Fitr, here are three essential tips on what to include in your emails...

Heartfelt email copy

Even if you do not observe these occasions yourself or would prefer to remain neutral, a simple greeting such as "Ramadan Kareem" (may Ramadan be generous to you) or "Eid Mubarak" (have a blessed Eid) shows solidarity with those who are celebrating and will go a long way in demonstrating your dedication.

If you would like to include a short message, you can concentrate on key themes, such as family, peace, spirituality, and prayer.

Check out this post for more tips on producing better email copy for your campaigns.

Personalization

Including personalization is a good way to show the email recipient you care and have gone the extra mile to tailor the email to them.

If you are sending email greetings to a handful of people (i.e. on your team), you can personalize by hand, however, for a larger list of staff or customers, using placeholders is a quick and convenient way to speak directly to your reader.

Tip: Mail Designer 365 Campaigns supports the use of placeholders for personalisation in your email campaigns sent via Delivery Hub. Just go to Insert > Mail Designer 365 Campaigns to see all placeholders and use the sidebar inspector to switch between options:

Relevant graphics

Make your Ramadan and Eid emails look the part by including relevant graphics. Not only does this improve the overall effect of the email, it also shows you have taken the time to research the key themes around these occasions.

Common themes include moon and star graphics to signifying ties to the Islamic lunar calendar, mosques to signify the importance of prayer, and traditional Ramadan lanterns.

Tip: Stock image websites like Unsplash and Pixabay have tons of license-free graphics you can use for your email designs. Did you know, Unsplash is fully integrated within Mail Designer 365 so you can easily drag and drop stock photos right into your Ramadan email templates?
