A cheerful and practical guide for small business owners to boost spring bookings with creative Easter promotions and inclusive seasonal marketing ideas.
Spring is a season of new beginnings—and for small business owners, it’s a golden opportunity to reconnect with customers, attract new ones, and energize your bookings with seasonal flair. Easter, in particular, offers unique marketing potential, but it’s also important to craft promotions that are inclusive and respectful of all communities.
In this guide, we’ll walk through a mix of Easter-specific and general spring-themed promotions to help you plan creative, feel-good campaigns that boost visibility, drive engagement, and fill up your calendar.
🌸 Why Seasonal Marketing Matters
Customers are more receptive to special offers when they’re tied to moments they’re already celebrating—whether that’s Easter brunch, the first sunny weekend of the season, or a city flower festival. When your promotions tap into this seasonal energy, they feel timely, relevant, and irresistible.
But relevance isn’t the only thing that matters—inclusivity counts too. That’s why we’ve divided ideas below into two categories: some built around Easter festivities, others that celebrate the season more broadly.
🐣 Easter-Themed Promotion Ideas
These ideas tap into Easter traditions, especially for families and communities that celebrate. Be sure to communicate clearly, so everyone knows what to expect—and offer alternatives for those who prefer to opt out.
1. Host a Local Easter Egg Hunt
Perfect for: Cafés, bakeries, family-friendly studios
Organize a small egg hunt in your shop, studio, or nearby green space. Partner with neighboring businesses and turn it into a neighborhood-wide activity.
- Offer a small treat or discount inside each egg
- Include a grand prize for the lucky finder of a “golden egg”
- Promote it on social media and in local Facebook groups
Tip: One Berlin café teamed up with a florist and bookstore to host a “Family Spring Trail” during Easter weekend—customers visited all three spots and collected little prizes, creating community buzz and foot traffic.
2. Offer Easter-Themed Gift Sets or Packages
Perfect for: Salons, spas, wellness providers
Bundle products or services in a festive, limited-edition package:
- A “Pamper & Chocolate” gift basket for spa clients
- A manicure + Easter-themed nail art special
- DIY haircare kits with seasonal pastel packaging
Make it available for pre-order or gift cards—great for last-minute gifters!
3. Easter Brunch Specials
Perfect for: Local cafés, bakeries, or personal chefs
- Create a fixed-price Easter brunch menu with seasonal ingredients
- Offer pre-booked takeaway picnic boxes
- Include family bundles and promote early reservations
Pair this with an easy online reservation link via EasyTakt to avoid overbooking and streamline prep.
🌼 Inclusive Spring Promotions
Not everyone celebrates Easter, so offering broad, welcoming promotions ensures your business is open to all.
1. Spring Refresh Packages
Perfect for: Wellness, beauty, and fitness studios
Celebrate the season of renewal with offerings like:
- “Spring Skin Revival” facial or massage bundles
- Declutter-your-calendar coaching sessions
- Spring detox workshops or mindfulness classes
Themed wording like “fresh start” or “recharge” works beautifully.
2. Seasonal Class or Service Discounts
Perfect for: Fitness, yoga, tutoring, or creative workshops
Encourage goal-setters to commit with a:
- “Spring Reset” 4-week fitness or coaching plan
- Discount on class packs or service bundles in April
- Free drop-in day for first-timers
One studio in Marseille ran a “Celebrate Spring” open house with mini classes, wellness teas, and same-day sign-up discounts—leading to a full roster by May.
3. Celebrate Local Events or Nature Themes
Perfect for: All businesses, especially storefronts
Check your city’s spring calendar—there might be:
- Flower festivals, Earth Day events, or community clean-ups
- Neighborhood art walks or music nights
- Seasonal markets you can join or sponsor
Tie in with themed displays, extended hours, or booking incentives.
📅 Plan Ahead and Maximize Your Moments
