Easter marketing ideas for hospitality venues

Sixteen Easter ideas you can run across social, email and the venue floor.

Easter gives you a ready-made reason to run a promotion. Guests are looking for somewhere to go, and a seasonal campaign puts you in front of the people already on your database.

Most venues run the same traditional brunch or roast lunch offer. A twist on the menu is the easy way to stand out: hot cross scones on the brunch menu, or a few dishes from other countries alongside the roast.

Then build the campaign around it. Here are 16 ideas for your channels, your socials and your venue floor.

Easter looks for your channels

A few seasonal touches on your digital assets build anticipation without much effort. Seasonal elements, illustrations and images are the quickest way to start.

Easter and spring suit bright, cheerful palettes. Focus on pastel colours, including pinks and yellows, to make the campaign instantly recognisable.

Ready-made Easter templates also save time when you design the email campaign itself.
