St. Patrick’s Day is right around the corner (March 17). And while St. Patrick’s Day isn’t one of the major gift-giving holidays, people do still like to dress up for the holiday and buy St. Patrick’s Day-related items.
They like to wear green and have items that say things like “Erin go Bragh,” “Kiss me, I’m Irish,” or “You’re my lucky charm!” So you can create St. Patrick’s Day-related items for your store, then use St. Patrick’s Day promotion ideas to optimize your sales.
Normally, it isn’t the best idea to have a ton of holiday-specific items in your store because those types of items don’t sell well year-round. But you can create designs that focus on Ireland and Irish pride. (It’s okay to have a few designs that say “Happy St. Patrick’s Day” or related phrases.)
If you do a search on Google Images or Etsy for things like “St. Patrick’s Day mugs” or shot glasses, you can find tons of awesome design inspiration. Check it out:
Then, you can offer special discounts and promotions for the items you create. And to help promote these sales, I’ve compiled a list of St. Patrick’s Day coupon codes, hashtags, and social media templates that you can use.
Plus, I had my fantastic designers create a series of St. Patrick’s Day mockups for coffee mugs, shot glasses, and beer steins, which you can add to your product listings and social media posts to make them more engaging and eye-catching.
All of my St. Patrick’s Day promotional content is totally free to use and you can check it out below…
