The most exciting part for sellers? Spending is projected to reach a staggering $7 billion—a high-water mark for this holiday.

Promoting your business at local St. Patrick’s Day events is a great way to get your brand seen by people who may not be familiar with it. Many cities host a variety of events for the holiday, from massive parades to local pub crawls. Teaming up with these organizers is an easy way to get your name out there.
You can offer your Irish-themed products to the event as prizes, sponsor a small community gathering, or even host a booth if you have physical inventory. If you are a strictly digital seller, consider using location-based targeting in your Meta Ads to show your products to people living in cities with the largest parades, like New York, Chicago, or Boston. This creates a sense of "local pride" that can significantly boost your conversion rates.
Social media is an effective way to spread the word about your St. Patrick’s Day promotions. You can post photos, create hashtag campaigns, and even run competitions to engage with your audience.
Contests are a great way to get people excited about your brand and increase engagement on social media. They are also the perfect vehicle for gathering user-generated content (UGC). Try offering a "Pot of Gold" prize related to St. Patrick’s Day—such as a gift card to your store or a bundle of your best-selling holiday merchandise—and ask participants to share their own "lucky" photos with a branded hashtag you created. This provides you with authentic marketing material and builds deep social proof. While it requires a bit of setup, the payoff in brand loyalty is immense.
Email marketing remains one of the most powerful tools in your marketing arsenal. Try sending out promotional emails with discounts and other offers related to the holiday.
Offering limited-time deals and discounts can be a great way to draw attention to your business on St. Patrick’s Day. These holiday promotions tap into the "Fear Of Missing Out" (FOMO) that drives so many ecommerce purchases.
Finally, don’t forget to get creative with your branding. This is where you can truly differentiate your store from the competition. Incorporating St. Patrick’s Day elements into your logo, website banner, or even your social media profile pictures can make your brand feel current and festive.
Consider launching a collection that goes beyond just "green." Explore seasonal sales trends like "Vintage Irish" styles, Celtic knots, or humorous "St. Paddy's for [Niche]" designs (e.g., "Lucky Nurse" or "St. Paddy's Dog Mom"). If you have a blog or newsletter, consider using the holiday as an opportunity to educate your customers about the history of the holiday or share a traditional Irish recipe. This "value-first" approach builds a relationship with your customers that lasts long after the shamrocks are put away.
Try incorporating St Patrick’s Day elements into your logo or website, and even dress up employees in “lucky” green apparel if you have a physical business.
