Marketing Opportunities in Green

St. Patrick’s Day is this weekend. For most, this means green beer, festive attire, shamrock shakes and leprechauns. But according to Charles Gaudet, a marketing expert and founder of PredictableProfits.com, entrepreneurs may have another reason to celebrate this weekend — all of the valuable marketing opportunities.

In his article Small Business Marketing Strategies for St. Patrick’s Day, Gaudet says, that small businesses may want to develop some creative marketing strategies.

He offers several strategies, including:

“1. Using the popular term “luck of the Irish”, business owners could create contests for customers to try their luck at earning a free gift, significant discount or special prize. Another way might be to use: “St. Patrick’s Day is also your lucky day for a one-day only 10% off everything in our store!”

2. Entrepreneurs can offer a special one-time discount on everything that is green inside of their store.

3. Use the leprechauns “pot of gold” in a campaign such as: “Anyone that makes a purchase on St. Patty’s day will be entered to win a ‘pot of gold’.” (And define the prize).

4. Another creative marketing strategy is to offer a bulk discount using the four-leaf clover. “On St. Patty’s Day, we’re celebrating with a special ’4 Leaf Clover Sale’! Buy 3 and get the 4th free on any item marked with a four-leaf clover!

5. Creating green products is creative, but it’s not always possible. In this case, the entrepreneur can create a “Green With Envy” campaign. For example, “Make Your Competitors Green With Envy With a Brand New Marketing Campaign Created By Us!”"
