March is jam-packed with holidays you can piggyback off of to bring in sales for your store.

From International Women's Day to the first day of Spring, you have so many opportunities to generate revenue and build winning campaigns.

So if you’re still locking in your calendar for the month, look no further.

Start with these 9 St. Patrick's Day campaign ideas you can steal. So you can make March your best month yet.

1. Share on-theme products

Holiday campaigns don’t have to be a ton of work to have an impact. 

Take this example from Estelle Colored Glass:

All they did was package up on-theme products and take killer product photos. How simple is that? So if you have green products in your store and not a ton of time to put together a campaign, start here.

In less than an hour, you’ll have a reason to reach out to your audience and boost sales.

2. Update your packaging

Bocce’s Bakery got a little more complex with their St. Patrick’s Day campaign. 

Rather than just featuring an existing product, they took it a step further with exclusive St. Patty’s Day products with killer packaging:

And while this definitely takes more time to execute, limited-time products are an awesome way to drive demand for your business once you have a loyal customer base.

But they didn’t stop there. On top of a St. Patrick’s Day specific product, they also ran a limited time promo. 25% off for one weekend only to create an epic campaign.

3. Create holiday-specific content

Maybe you’re not into the idea of launching a new product for every holiday. That’s totally understandable. With a small team (or maybe it’s just you!), you can only do so much.

But that doesn’t mean you can’t put together a St. Patrick’s Day promo.

Take this one from 8Greens:

Using their existing product, they came up with a St. Patrick’s Day cocktail recipe customers will love. Plus, it reminds their audience that they have the freedom to get creative. Super smart play.

But even if a recipe doesn’t make sense for your business, you can still create St. Patrick’s Day-themed content to stand out.

I LOVE this example from Krewe:

Yes, they feature green products, which is awesome. But they also use the end of the email to call out their Second Chances program:

A quick little fun fact with a themed image is all it takes. Plus, it’s a great way to give their audience peace of mind before making a purchase. 

Use St. Patrick’s Day as a chance to get creative with your marketing.

4. Run a limited-time promo

A limited-time promo is the perfect low-lift way to bring in St. Patrick’s Day sales for your store.

Soleil Blue kept it incredibly simple with this promo:

With a discount code like “SHAMROCK,” they were sure to keep the promotion on theme without having to spend hours building a complex campaign.

If you’re not interested in offering a sitewide discount, you could offer a discount on a certain collection, product, or offer something totally different (keep reading for more ideas!).

5. Offer free shipping

If you don’t offer free shipping on every order to begin with, it’s the perfect incentive to encourage your audience to make a purchase this St. Patrick’s Day.

Take it from Wildfox:

Yes, they featured tons of green products, but they also offered free 2-day shipping for 2 days without an order minimum.

Thanks to Amazon, no one likes to pay for shipping. So whenever you can offer it, that should be your go-to.

6. Include a free gift with purchase

Golde takes a totally different approach by leaning on a free gift with purchase on every order over $50:

What makes this campaign so smart is that they’re using an existing product as the free gift. Which means all they need to do on the back end is throw in a tote bag and they’re good to go.

Maybe you have something small that would be the perfect free gift with purchase incentive to use for your St. Patrick’s Day promo this year.

7. Send order deadline reminders

Order deadlines are always the perfect excuse to reach out to your audience. 

In this case, WithCo sells cocktail mixers, so it’s a great fit for them to reach out with a last chance reminder to get orders in in time to receive them for the 17th:

Even if you’ve already sent an email to your audience, a reminder is the perfect chance to re-engage and give them one more chance to place an order and receive it in time.

8. Gamify your forms

Updating your on-site campaigns is another great way to lean into holiday campaigns.
