Keep reading to see some of our favourite Easter email subject lines.
What’s the most important part of your Easter email marketing campaign?
The call to action? The email design? How about the copy?
All of these things are undoubtedly important, but most of the time they won’t even matter if you don’t get your subject line right.
Why? Because a third of your email list decides to open your email or not entirely on your subject line.
That’s why we’ve curated this list of over 100 Easter subject lines from past email campaigns. To help give your Easter email campaign the best chances of success. So feel free to use them as inspiration for your own subject lines.
COVID-19 Easter Email Subject Lines
There’s no denying that the current COVID-19 (coronavirus) pandemic is having an impact on how brands adjust their email marketing.
When it comes to your subject line, it’s probably best to play it safe this Easter by not encouraging gatherings or anything that goes against public health advice.
In that spirit, here are some subject lines Brands have sent for this Easter that address the pandemic.

Subject Lines with Emoijs
Adding an emoji to your subject line is a great way to make it stand out in people’s inboxes.
When it comes to Easter emails, the most popular emoji choice by far is the hatching chick (?).
In line with Easter-themed emails, a bunny (?) and egg (?) are also popular choices. To give your email an even better chance at standing out, trying using other emojis related to the broader idea of spring and new life, such as a flower (?).
