Get Business Blooming with 4 Spring Print Marketing Themes

Birds chirp louder, the sun lingers longer, and colors shine brighter.


Ahhhh . . . spring. There’s nothing like spring to bring pep in the step and joy to the heart. Capitalize on this natural momentum with fun and energetic designs!


Use these ideas to put some color in your next print marketing campaign!


1. St. Patrick’s Day: March 17


If you ever needed an excuse to be silly, St. Patrick’s Day is it.


Make your customers smile by using phrases like these in your sales promos, posters, and more:


“Save some GREEN at our 20% off sale!”


“There’s gold at the end of this rainbow. Subscribe by March 17 to receive a free month of _____.”


“Today is your LUCKY DAY to book!”


“Feeling lucky? Check out our Sham-ROCKIN rewards.”


2. Tax Day or Earth Day: April 15 & 22


Everyone can get on board with saving cash or saving the planet!


Have fun with these holidays by building promotions that help people conserve or celebrate. Playful retailers might pitch a “Use Your Refund” sale, while planet-loving entrepreneurs might try a cause-marketing “give back” strategy.


Here are several phrases to jumpstart your creativity:


“Tax Day got you stressed? We’ve got relief! Enjoy one free _____ on April 15.”


“Taxes done? You deserve a treat! Check out our BOGO ____ from April 15-20.”


“Celebrate Earth Day with naturally effective ______ care.”


“Go GREEN with our eco-friendly _______.”


“LOVE THE PLANET Earth Day Incentive: For every ______ purchased, we’re partnering with _____ to plant one tree.”


3. Spring Sales Events


After a gray or cold winter, people are ready for rejuvenation.


Work this reality into your sales strategies as you accentuate themes like spring cleaning, fresh ideas, warm weather, new opportunities, or new life.


Offer spring sales events and pair them with engaging content like spring-themed quizzes, vibrant visuals, green or floral motifs, or DIY projects linked to your business. Help customers shake the blues with experiential opportunities like workshops, sidewalk displays, contests, and taste-testing opportunities. Find inspiration from the National Days 2024 calendar, then grab a wacky spring theme and run with it!


4. Spring-ify Your Brand


As you sweep out cobwebs from your inventory, add vibrancy to your print marketing.


Brand consistency is essential, but don’t be afraid to color outside the lines sometimes. Swap out a company color, add a flower to the brand logo, or contrast muted backdrops with vibrant spring fonts.


Spring is a season of rejuvenation, renewal, and growth. Position your brand and its offerings as a breath of fresh air in the coming months!

You've taken the time to collect your thoughts. You've carefully outlined your ideas, your theme, and the overall tone you'd like to communicate. Wouldn't it be nice if people actually read it? Better make it quick! Generation Z, born after 1996, is already emerging from the shadow of millennials. Making up a quarter of the U.S. population, they will account for 40 percent of all consumers by 2020.
