March is packed with exciting opportunities to boost your email marketing game.
From major events like St. Patrick’s Day to festivities like National Cheesesteak Day, National Read Across America Day, and National Introverts Week, there’s no shortage of inspiration for March newsletter ideas.
In this post, we’ll share fresh ideas for March newsletters and subject lines that’ll keep your target audience engaged and clicking.
Whether you’re celebrating women-led businesses, launching a spring sale, or adding a festive touch to your promotions, we’ve got plenty of creative ideas to help you make the most of every opportunity.
Newsletter ideas for events in March
First, let’s look at March newsletter ideas for events to feature in your newsletters.
Capture online events — International Women’s Day
March 8 is International Women’s Day, and it’s the perfect opportunity to craft an authentic, thoughtful newsletter highlighting the incredible women in your business and community.
Here are some ways you can acknowledge the day and make your subscribers feel inspired:
Offer discounts
A simple (and super effective) way to celebrate International Day for Women is to treat the women in your audience to an exclusive discount. Whether it’s a percentage off, a VIP access code, or a sweet freebie with a purchase, it’s the perfect way to show appreciation and boost engagement.
Take a look at this fabulous newsletter from Dossier for inspiration:
![Happy International women's day email from dossier](https://us-wd.gr-cdn.com/blog/sites/5/2025/02/0909/image.png)
Their tagline gives a warm shout-out to female subscribers while subtly nudging them to treat themselves to a new fragrance on their special day. Plus, they sweeten the deal with a 20% discount and free shipping on larger orders.
![International women's day newsletter with a CTA to shop for fragrances](https://us-wd.gr-cdn.com/blog/sites/5/2025/02/0909/YsJZwx1S-image.png)
While we love the approach, Dossier could’ve made it even stronger by adding a bold CTA button and spotlighting discounted items to make the offer irresistible. Still, this is a solid example of what a well-crafted Women’s Day email looks like.
If your brand is more gender-neutral or caters to a male audience, a Buy One, Gift One campaign is a great way to get all subscribers involved. Encourage customers to celebrate the amazing women in their lives by gifting something special to their partner, friend, mother, or colleague. This newsletter by Saucey does it brilliantly:
![International women's day newsletter from Saucey](https://us-wd.gr-cdn.com/blog/sites/5/2025/02/0909/8qVnNK9f-image.png)
Saucey keeps it simple but clever. To celebrate the occasion, they suggest subscribers gift a bottle of their favorite drink. With bright and inviting visuals, seamless product placement, and a natural CTA, this newsletter gets a chef’s kiss from us!
Spotlight the women in your team
Want a unique newsletter that’s not simply a holiday discount? Try a spotlight feature.
Take a moment to shine a light on the women behind your brand. Be it a Q&A, a heartfelt thank-you message, or behind-the-scenes stories, this is a great way to personalize your newsletter and honor the women who keep your brand running.
This newsletter by Everlane is a good example:
![Celebrating international women's day email featuring images of inspirational female entrepreneurs and their outfits with CTAs to shop their look](https://us-wd.gr-cdn.com/blog/sites/5/2025/02/0909/image-1.png)
![](https://us-wd.gr-cdn.com/blog/sites/5/2025/02/0909/aiBEpAWz-image.png)
They bring together the incredible women in their brand to share who inspires them and what this international day means to them.
Plus, the employees are fantastic models for Everlane’s clothes, and the special “Shop Her Look” CTA button ties this newsletter together. What a thoughtful, engaging, and on-brand way to celebrate the day!
Partner with women-owned businesses
International Women’s Day is the perfect time to collaborate with women-led small businesses for a one-time exclusive deal, bundle offer, or co-hosted giveaway for your subscribers.
It’s a win-win. You raise awareness about women-owned businesses and also give your audience access to something special.
Check out this stellar March newsletter by Formula Fig:
![A newsletter from Formula FIG, a female owned business](https://us-wd.gr-cdn.com/blog/sites/5/2025/02/0909/HfvxoZo8-image.png)
They nail it by announcing their partnership with SIDIA, spotlighting a powerhouse woman in business, and offering an extra-special gift with any SIDIA purchase.
![March newsletter featuring a partnership with a female owned business](https://us-wd.gr-cdn.com/blog/sites/5/2025/02/0909/cmC50LdI-image.png)
The subject line is also creative. It’s short, sweet, and intriguing: “We’re celebrating women-led brands with a gift for you.” This is how you do a feature newsletter, just right!
Go green and celebrate St. Patrick’s Day
St. Patrick’s Day is the perfect excuse to refresh your email strategy with festive promotions.
Offer discounts on green items, run a “lucky” sweepstakes or create exclusive coupons for green-themed products.
Don’t forget to embrace the holiday spirit, i.e., shamrocks, gold coins, and all things green should be front and center in your design.
Here are some newsletter inspirations to get your creative juices flowing:
![St. Patrick's day email from Gold Belly titled "Eat Me, I'm Irish"](https://us-wd.gr-cdn.com/blog/sites/5/2025/02/0909/BlXXQRDl-image-1.png)
This Goldbelly newsletter nails the St. Patrick’s Day spirit. With playful copy, bad puns, festive visuals, and mouthwatering green-themed treats, it hits every single mark.
The “Eat Me, I’m Irish” headline is fun and attention-grabbing, and the product lineup makes it easy (and tempting) for subscribers to shop for the holiday.
Also, look at how this De Soi newsletter plays into the St. Patrick’s Day luck with a fun “Feelin’ lucky?!” theme and a lucky draw for full refunds:
![De Soi's st.Patrick's day themed newsletter titled "Feelin lucky?"](https://us-wd.gr-cdn.com/blog/sites/5/2025/02/0909/exJVZkj0-image.png)
With a playful design and an irresistible limited-time offer, this brilliant newsletter gets subscribers right in the holiday spirit.
March this spring
The spring season is all about fresh starts, and it’s the perfect time for you to launch new products, refresh your branding, and promote special seasonal sales.
Send a “First Day of Spring” newsletter highlighting limited-time offers, spring-inspired collections, or exclusive discounts. Other ideas include making spring cleaning checklists, compiling wellness tips, or announcing a “welcome the season” giveaway.
A spring newsletter is also a great opportunity to tease customers about upcoming launches and get them excited about what you have cooking.
Take a look at one of our all-time favorite newsletters by Goodles:
![Goodles spring themed newsletter for March titled "Find your spring fling"](https://us-wd.gr-cdn.com/blog/sites/5/2025/02/0909/eLNCcaGF-image.png)
![Goodles spring themed newsletter for March featuring multiple products with "Swipe right" CTAs](https://us-wd.gr-cdn.com/blog/sites/5/2025/02/0909/x3owByWT-image.png)
Goodles nails the spring theme with a flirty, dating-app-inspired twist on mac & cheese. Reimagining the classic “Spring Fling” catchphrase, this newsletter is bright and fun and seals the deal with a tempting 50% deal.
Goodles’ CTA game is also on point, with the bright “Swipe Right” and “Find Your Perfect Mac” buttons to get subscribers clicking.

Week-based March newsletter ideas
Here are some week-long events that deserve a special place in your March newsletter ideas:
Girl Scout Week
Celebrate Girl Scout Week, which starts on March 9th to 15th, with a fun, feel-good newsletter.
Here are your themes for the week: empowerment, leadership, friendship, adventure, and, of course, cookies.
Feature inspiring scout stories, highlight community service projects, or run girl-scout-themed promos with special discounts.
Add touches of green, brown, white, and yellow, and incorporate camping or outdoor-inspired elements in your design.
National Procrastination Week
National Procrastination Week is the first week of March, and it offers your subscribers the perfect excuse to hit snooze, stay in bed, and shop in their pajamas.
For this week, send a newsletter promoting cozy must-haves, last-minute deals, or even a “Lazy-Day Sale” with discounts for those who take their time.
Play with fun subject lines like “No Rush. Shop While You Snooze” or “Procrastinators, This One’s for You!” to keep things light and bring those last-minute orders in.
Look at this email marketing campaign example by Hawthorne:
![Hawthorne National Procrastination Week themed newsletter](https://us-wd.gr-cdn.com/blog/sites/5/2025/02/0909/4BRnk4Wf-image.png)
Hawthorne speaks directly to procrastinators with a last-minute gift idea perfect for National Procrastination Week.
Their subject line, “So you procrastinated… (we got you!),” is playful and relatable. The sleek design, prominent CTA, and brilliant product plug make this newsletter shine.
National Procrastination Week is also the perfect time to highlight comfort products, like melatonin gummies for restful sleep, soft loungewear, your special chamomile tea, or the fluffiest pillows from your home collection. Just remember to lean into the lazy and let your readers know it’s okay to take a break.
Take a look at this Casper newsletter for inspiration:
![Casper National Procrastination Week newsletter titled "You are getting very sleepy"](https://us-wd.gr-cdn.com/blog/sites/5/2025/02/0909/eUuhnJXY-image.png)
While this wasn’t sent specifically for National Procrastination Week, it’s a great example of how businesses can tap into selling the lazy vibe.
With a soft, dreamy design, deep blues, and a “veeerry sleepy” energy, this newsletter is the perfect reminder to rest and lean into the week’s laziness. You can incorporate similar elements to sell any lazy-time products that make your subscriber’s life more comfortable.
Global Money Week
Global Money Week is a good opportunity to get people thinking about smart spending and saving. Send fun on-theme newsletters by showing customers how much they saved last year through discounts, cashback, or epic deals.
Check out this newsletter by Kroger for inspiration:
![Kroger Global Money Week themed newsletter titled Yearly Checkout](https://us-wd.gr-cdn.com/blog/sites/5/2025/02/0909/ejycrCPn-image.png)
This newsletter celebrates loyal customers and reminds them how shopping with Kroger brings sweet deals and big savings.
This week is also a great time to share tips for saving money, budgeting hacks, or special deals and discounts to help your subscribers feel like money pros. This newsletter by GoodRx is a fantastic example:
![GoodRx More savings coming your way CTAs](https://us-wd.gr-cdn.com/blog/sites/5/2025/02/0909/CW6bE4qV-image.png)
Even if you’re not a finance business, you can still lean into Global Money Week with a “smart spending” sale, highlighting best-value products or challenging your audience to a mini money-saving goal.
Month-based March newsletter ideas
March marks the beginning of spring and the fresh start of a new life, but it’s also an important month for many awareness campaigns. Here are three-month-long events you should incorporate into your March newsletter ideas.
National Women’s History Month
This March, use your space to spotlight women’s achievements. Send Women’s History Month newsletters featuring inspiring stories of strong women entrepreneurs in your industry. You can also highlight female-care products or run promotions supporting women-owned businesses.
If your brand is donating to a women-centered cause, let your subscribers know and invite them to join in. Remember, Women’s History Month is about empowerment, so keep it authentic, supportive, and honest.
Look at how Bubble Goods shines a spotlight on women-led food brands in this empowering newsletter, celebrating their stories, products, and impact in the industry:
![National Women’s History Month themed newsletter from Bubble Goods](https://us-wd.gr-cdn.com/blog/sites/5/2025/02/0909/QXgTzotE-image-1.png)

This is an excellent example of an authentic Women’s History Month newsletter that not only highlights the company’s mission but also plugs in valuable resources for its audience, all while celebrating its female subscriber base.
Disability Awareness Month
Use Disability Awareness Month to launch an awareness campaign, drive donations, and support inclusivity.
Share personal stories from people with disabilities, highlight how your workplace fosters inclusivity, or share accessibility stats to raise awareness about this issue.
Want to go a step further? Partner with advocacy groups, promote their initiatives with relevant products or even offer matching donations (e.g., “We’ll match every $1 you give!”). You could also launch exclusive products where proceeds support disability organizations.
Check out this newsletter by Patagonia:
![Patagonia Disability Awareness Month themed email](https://us-wd.gr-cdn.com/blog/sites/5/2025/02/0909/Rl9QdhTU-image.png)
While this newsletter isn’t specific to Disability Awareness, it’s a great example of a brand using its platform to spotlight a meaningful cause and rally its audience to make a difference through donations.
Gender Equality Month
Gender Equality Month is a powerful opportunity to educate, engage, and inspire action.
Share inspiring stories of women and non-binary leaders breaking barriers, spotlight your company’s efforts toward inclusivity, and give your audience actionable ways to build a more equitable world.
You can also partner with gender equality organizations to drive donations or launch an email campaign where proceeds support real change.
This powerful newsletter by Rootless is a good example:
