St. Patrick's Day Email Design

Over half of adults celebrate St. Paddy's Day, spending more than $6.1 billion. That's why sending a Happy St. Patrick's Day email is a smart idea for your business. Use these suggestions to help you design a St. Patrick's Day email newsletter or marketing email.

Send Your St. Patrick's Day Emails Early

According to statistics, St. Patrick's Day is not a holiday that drags out all month: Most holiday emails are sent either on March 16 or 17. We recommend scheduling your St. Patrick's Day emails for the day before the holiday so you can get ahead of the real rush. If St. Patrick's Day is in the middle of the work week, however, breaking this guideline could be to your benefit. Consider sending your emails the weekend before in case that's when your customers are celebrating.

Help Your Customers Feel the Luck of the Irish

Luck is commonly associated with St. Patrick's Day. Spin some clever copy in your Happy St. Patrick's Day emails to remind your subscribers how lucky they truly are! Many companies run a special promotion or offer a discount for St. Paddy's, telling customers they're lucky to get such a good deal. If you choose to play up the luck angle, your St. Patrick's Day email subject lines should reflect this, too.

Get Festive With Green and Gold

The design choices you make in your St. Patrick's Day email newsletter should reflect the colors and customs of the holiday while still being on-brand. Any shade of green is a good way to celebrate the holiday. Gold accents add a nice touch, too. Try adding some shamrocks or leprechauns peeking out from your header or footer. And if you have green products in your store, make sure to add photos of those, too.
