Considerations for different platforms and content types

Each social media platform has its own strengths, and understanding how to tailor your Easter content for each can significantly boost engagement:

Instagram and TikTok

Best for visual content – use reels, stories, and short-form videos.

Experiment with Easter-themed filters, stickers, and interactive polls.

Use trending hashtags to expand reach (see section on hashtags below).

Facebook

Great for longer posts, community engagement, and interactive content.
Use Facebook banners, images, and giveaways to engage followers.
Run contests and live videos to boost interaction.

Twitter/X and LinkedIn

Keep it short and engaging – use Easter puns, quotes, or GIFs.
LinkedIn is ideal for business-related Easter posts.

Snapchat

Ideal for real-time, behind-the-scenes content and interactive engagement.
Best for short-form, casual content like Easter countdowns, flash sales, or playful filters.

Perfect for Easter inspiration boards, DIY crafts, and holiday recipes.
Focus on high-quality images and infographics.

Easter social media post ideas

1. Daily prize competition

If it’s online engagement you’re after, it doesn’t get much better than a branded Easter game paired with a giveaway competition. Consider running a 7-day contest where users submit their score to the leaderboard to be in with a chance of winning daily prizes.

Not only will this structure keep players coming back – it also provides you with daily posts to announce winners and encourage clicks back to the game that day. You can also encourage participants to share their progress on social media with a unique hashtag to increase visibility.

2. Easter egg hunt

A virtual Easter egg hunt can add excitement to your social media campaign. Hide virtual Easter eggs within your posts, stories, or website and challenge your audience to find them. You can offer small prizes or discounts to users who successfully locate all the eggs, promoting engagement and encouraging users to return to your content.

3. Online quiz

Create a fun online quiz and add custom categories on the history, traditions, and pop culture surrounding Easter. A daily prize structure will not only keep players engaged, but also give you daily opportunities to announce winners and drive traffic back to the game.

4. User-generated content (UGC)

Encourage your audience to share their Easter celebrations by asking them to post photos or videos using a branded hashtag. By featuring the best user-generated content on your page, you can create a sense of community and appreciation among your audience.

5. Countdown to Easter

Plan a series of Easter-themed images, fun facts, or challenges as a way to count down to the big day. You could also customise a branded game and pair it with a customised digital countdown calendar that users click through to from your posts.

6. Poll or survey

Polls are a simple but effective way to boost interaction with your followers. Easter-themed questions might look something like:

Which Easter treat reigns supreme? 🍫🐣

🐰 Chocolate bunnies
🥚 Cadbury eggs
➕ Hot cross buns
🍬 Jelly beans

How do you prefer to celebrate Easter? 🌸🎉

🏡 Family brunch & egg hunt
⛪ Attending church service
🏖️ Easter weekend getaway
🎨 DIY crafts & decorating eggs

If you found a golden Easter egg, what would you want inside? ✨🥚

💰 Cash
🎟️ Concert or event tickets
🍫 A year’s supply of chocolate
✈️ A surprise vacation

Note that most social media platforms have their own native polling feature, so you may have to tailor the format of your questions and answers accordingly.
