8 Easter Marketing Ideas to Rock Your Promotion Campaign

The Easter holiday is a profitable time for the eCommerce sector, with 80% of Americans celebrating the holiday and spending $20.8 billion in 2022. With the help of some creative Easter marketing ideas, you will manage to connect with your ideal customers and increase sales. 

To boost customer engagement and increase conversion this Easter holiday, we have compiled a list of our favorite ideas and actionable tips to help with your Easter marketing campaigns. 

1. Plan a virtual Easter egg hunt

You can engage your customers and encourage them to spend while they have fun by holding an online Easter egg hunt.

You can plan an egg hunt within your store, placing exclusive codes in your store so customers can discover them and access your online campaign. Another idea would be to hide the codes on your website. When customers find the eggs by clicking on them, the cookies can recognize them and offer them a discount.

2. Organize a photo contest

People love photo contests with fantastic spring colors. Use the opportunity to launch a photo contest as your marketing campaign strategy. 

Invite users to submit their best Easter photos, including prizes or free bundles for the winners. Some of the Easter photo challenges may include:

• Easter egg photos
• Easter bunny photos
• Easter basket photos
• Outdoor photos

3. Launch interactive games

88% of global business leaders view customer engagement as having a significant impact on their company’s bottom line. And what better way to engage your customers than creating interactive games that reward the winners? Apart from that, gamified marketing also:

• Connects marketing and fun to create a brand image that stands out
• Creates brand awareness
• Assists in data collection

You can create a successful Easter marketing campaign with the right gamification platform like Adact. Here are some of the games that you can launch with Adact:

Prize wheels

A wheel of fortune is an effective gamification option to engage a target audience on your website. By spinning the wheel, you can offer customers a chance to win a discount, gift or a unique code.

Promotional puzzles

Promotional puzzles are ideal for retaining the curiosity of your target customers for a more extended period. It is easier to get people glued on promotional puzzles for several minutes than other expensive promotional advertisements.

When a person solves a puzzle on your site, it can boost brand recognition and create a preference for your brand. 

Memory games

Memory games boost your target audience’s engagement with the product and services rapidly. They are also beneficial for collecting data and increasing website signups.

It is simple to collect data when you invite players to click a button, spin a wheel or start a jackpot to win a prize. They will have to fill out a form with their details in case they win, and you can also add an option where they can sign in for your newsletter.

Egg battle

You can create an egg battle asking your customers to choose a funnier Easter game or a more creative egg.

Swipe polls

Use a swipe poll to generate engagement by having your customers think about all those amusing situations during Easter. You can upload images of those situations and ask your customers if it’s ever happened to them, making them reminisce about the good times.

5. Host Easter Cookbook giveaways

Hosting an Easter cookbook giveaway is a great marketing idea for a business. If you provide enough value and offer them incredible recipes, they will likely remember you and come back for more products and services.

In addition, you can offer an Easter-themed cookbook with decoration goodies on your social media platform to improve follow-up.
