Easter: Creative Content Ideas

Easter is an important holiday in the Christian religion that celebrates the resurrection of Jesus Christ and marks the end of Lent. It’s also become an anticipated yearly occasion for many individuals, children, and families who enjoy its colorful, sugary traditions. For businesses of all types, Easter serves as a wonderful inspiration for social media content you can create to connect with your audience.

To help you think of content and campaign ideas for your business, we’ve put together this guide with examples of Easter content ideas for five different industries. Take them as is, or use them as inspiration when putting together your content calendar for Easter.

About Easter

Easter is observed annually in the spring. The holiday has its origins in the Jewish festival of Passover and has been celebrated since the early days of Christianity. Today, Easter is a time for families and friends to come together and celebrate with traditional activities like decorating eggs, participating in Easter egg hunts, and enjoying a special meal.

While Easter is celebrated by Christians around the world, different cultures and countries have their unique ways of observing the holiday. From the colorful processions in Spain to the lighting of bonfires in Europe, Easter is a time for communities to come together and celebrate in their own way.

Content and Marketing for Easter

Easter is a wonderful opportunity for businesses of all sizes and types to create unique content and connect with their customers during the holiday season. Not only will it give you a fresh, timely topic to discuss on your social media, but it will also allow you to build more personal connections with your followers over a shared experience. 

To help inspire your Easter content, we’ve come up with some creative video content ideas that are relevant to five different industries: real estate, finance, health and fitness, food and beverage, and e-commerce. Whether your business is in one of these industries or a different one entirely, you can take inspiration from these ideas and tailor them to your own brand and social media campaigns. 

We recommend using these ideas to plan your Easter content in advance for a stress-free Easter social media campaign.
