St. Patrick’s Day Selling Guide

St. Patrick’s Day, named after a patron saint of Ireland, is a cultural and religious celebration held on the anniversary of St. Patrick’s death. The day commemorates Saint Patrick and the arrival of Christianity in Ireland. It’s also a time to celebrate the Irish heritage and culture in general.

While all the celebrations can make it seem like the Irish holiday is much more profitable for bars and restaurants, the truth it’s also a big opportunity for ecommerce sellers. Last year, the NRF anticipated St. Patrick’s Day spending to reach $5.61 billion, the second highest amount in the survey’s history. Numbers for 2020 have not been released, but we anticipate spending and participation to be on par with 2019.

From the same NRF survey, we also see that apparel or accessories and decor perform consistently well among buyers.

To help you get the most out of St. Patrick’s Day, we’re sharing some of our favorite marketing and selling inspiration in this selling guide. Let’s jump right in!
