Pick the dates that fit your brand and get them in the calendar.
January Campaign Ideas
- 1 New Year's Day Wish your subscribers a prosperous new year and set the tone for what's coming from your brand in 2023.
February Campaign Ideas
- 14 Valentine's Day The month of love is a good excuse to offer subscribers something special and remind them why they signed up in the first place.
March Campaign Ideas
- 3 World Wildlife Day Celebrate the diversity of wildlife and what nature has to offer. Animal prints and playful natural elements work well in design here.
- 8 International Women's Day Acknowledge the women on your database and the role they play in your brand's story.
- 17 St. Patrick's Day Play with the idea of luck and finding that pot of gold. Good subject line territory.
April Campaign Ideas
- 7-10 Easter Weekend Get creative with subject lines and designs. An Easter hunt mechanic, where subscribers click through to find a deal, can work really well.
- 22 Earth Day Share what your brand is doing to make a difference. Keep it specific and honest.
May Campaign Ideas
- 4 Star Wars Day "May the 4th Be With You" is a well-known cultural moment. Pull a line from the films and have fun with it in your subject line.
- 14 Mother's Day A strong moment to promote products and services for the special women in your subscribers' lives.
June Campaign Ideas
- 1 Pride Month June is the time to show your subscribers that your brand is genuinely inclusive. Celebrate diversity through the whole month, not just a single send.
- 18 Father's Day Theme your campaign around dad. Sporty, DIY, or outdoor angles tend to land well here.
