Writing an Easter email can be a great way to let your creativity shine, but it can also be a little daunting if you're not sure where to start. Here are some ideas to help you write a thoughtful and engaging Easter email:
Your email subject line is the first thing your recipient sees when your message hits their inbox, so it needs to grab their attention and persuade them to open the email. So catch the reader’s attention with a fun subject line, but also make sure that the purpose of your message is still clear.
At Easter, silly references to bunnies, baskets, chicks, candy, etc. are never out of place – not to mention egg-related puns:

A fun and professional way to spread Easter cheer is to add a special email signature in the run up to the holiday. You might focus on springtime themes or incorporate fun Easter imagery like bunnies or eggs. You could also change your signature font to a springtime color like lavender, green, turquoise, or yellow – just make sure it is still easy to read. You can also consider adding a simple, professional message like “Happy Easter!” or “Let’s celebrate springtime!”
Like other holidays, Easter can be a good time to send messages of appreciation to your coworkers, employees, and clients. Because the religious sentiments associated with Easter may not align with everyone’s beliefs, generally it’s best to send secular-themed greetings in a professional environment. The focus could be on springtime, bunnies, eggs, etc.
Here are some Easter email examples for the workplace:
Happy Easter wishes to an incredible [boss/team/coworker]! I hope you and your family have a wonderful holiday weekend!
Here’s wishing you and your families a joyful Easter weekend. I appreciate you even more than a basket full of chocolate!
Wishing a very hoppy Easter to the best team ever! Hope you have a relaxing and fun weekend with lots of chocolate bunnies!
With an amazing team like you, every day is special! Enjoy a beautiful spring holiday with your families!
I’m grateful for springtime, chocolate, and eggs-cellent co-workers like you. Happy Easter!
Good to know: You may have wondered, “Can I say Happy Easter at work?” Since Easter always falls on a Sunday, in most cases you will not even see your colleagues on the holiday itself. Although Easter is a major Christian holiday, it has also become a secular springtime celebration featuring egg hunts and other family activities. So, most coworkers would not be offended if you wished them a happy Easter weekend before the holiday.
When sending an Easter message to friends, it's important to keep in mind the tone and content of your message. Easter is a meaningful religious holiday for members of the Christian faith, so they may appreciate a message that reflects this spiritual aspect. However, a friend with different beliefs might enjoy an Easter email focusing on themes like springtime, hope, or renewal, or on the fun aspects of the secular holiday. What’s most important is to keep your message personal and heartfelt, and express your appreciation for the other person.

If you have a business, you probably already know that email marketing is a powerful tool for reaching out to your customers to promote your products or services. Emailing is highly cost effective and allows you to target specific demographics and personalize your messages. You can use Easter themes like bunnies, egg hunts, gift-giving and family gatherings to create a fun vibe that promotes engagement and makes your email marketing campaigns more effective – for example:
Easter giveaway: Link your email campaign to a social media contest asking customers to share a photo of their Easter decorations and tag your brand to enter a chance to win a prize. This could range from a pre-made Easter basket filled with goodies to a family brunch or dinner at a local restaurant. (This could also help you create a partnership with businesses in your community.) You can also offer a discount code to all participants as a thank you for taking part in the contest.
Easter-themed products: Depending on your product, you can offer Easter-themed chocolates, Easter bunny toys, or Easter-inspired jewelry or apparel. But even if your product doesn’t lend itself neatly to an Easter theme, you can offer special-edition product bundles or Easter gift certificates. Use a fun Easter email to let people know about your special deal.
Donation promotion: Add a charitable twist to your Easter sale email – for every purchase made during the Easter season, donate a percentage of the sale to a local organization. This is especially effective if there is a thematic link to Easter – like donations to an animal shelter (Easter bunny) or nature center (springtime). Such community involvement can boost your brand image and customer loyalty.
Surprise Easter gift at checkout: You can add a free gift like a chocolate bunny or sample-size product to every online or instore purchase. Or offer your online customers a free shipping code – who doesn’t love free shipping!?
One example of an Easter promotional idea that you can market by email and on social media is hosting an Easter egg hunt. It’s a fun and engaging way to bring people together and create a sense of community – and you can invite people by email! Not only should you send an invite to your local customers with all the details of the event (date, time, location, RSVP…), you should also add some colorful graphics and festive language. Be sure to let people know how many eggs you’ll be hiding and what prizes they can win and post some teasers on your social media channels as well.
