1. Postmates

The extremely well-known food delivery service Postmates decided to hold an action using email, pushing its audience to order Irish beer with other dishes, thereby celebrating this holiday.

3. Harry's

An integral attribute of St. Patrick's Day is fun. It's a celebration of humor and it's worth showing in your newsletter, as did Harry's, a brand that sells shaving equipment and personal care products for men. In their St. Patrick’s Day email campaign, they gave a funny statistic about the amount of beer in a man's mustache going missing on St. Patrick's Day. This approach is funny, it emphasizes one of the hallmarks of the holiday and also offers to buy shaving products.

4. Leesa

Knock-knock jokes are pure classics that can be generated endlessly and adjusted to fit different needs. Mattress manufacturer Leesa decided to use one in their email newsletter, depicting a cut-out dialogue in the messenger that congratulates St. Patrick's Day and unobtrusively advertises the brand's products and their quality.

5. Pulp & Press

Green is the color of St. Patrick's Day. What else do we associate this color with? That's right, with organics and nature. Manufacturer of cold-pressed juices Pulp & Press used a themed St. Patrick day email marketing campaign to notify its audience about the sale of freshly squeezed green juices. Along with this email, the brand also congratulated everyone on the holiday and explained the beneficial properties of such juices.

7. Curvissa

Clothing brands also seize the opportunity to give a piece of the holiday to their audience, and emails are a great way to do this. The women's clothing boutique Curvissa, in the form of a "lucky" email, provides its customers with a promo code, by entering which each recipient gets a secret gift. Intriguing, isn't it? A pretty good strategy to use.

8. Kahlúa

Another tradition on St. Patrick's Day is drinking whiskey, and the special term Patrick's cup was coined for this. The liqueur manufacturer Kahlúa did not miss a chance and advertised an interesting cocktail based on Kahlúa liqueur and Jameson whiskey, which will perfectly complement St. Patrick's Day. In addition to the festive design, this email offers value — anyone can download the recipe for such a cocktail with a click and surprise their friends.
