Mother’s Day is a universal celebration for mothers – grandmothers, aunts, or anyone who is a mother figure in your life. Before celebrations get underway, it is all about the right brand awareness that will help you engage with your target audience.

1. Create a Mother’s Day Package
Drop a lovely box of Mother’s Day gifts to parenting influencers who will share your products with their followers and drum up engagement for your brand.

Whether it is food, lifestyle, fashion or design, make sure that the influencer is aligned with your brand values and can carry your products authentically.

2. Add Product Recommendations
Whether personalised, generic or category-specific, product recommendations remind your customers what your brand can offer them. They may wind up with some surprising finds that they will add to their list of must-haves. Optimise product recommendations using search engines and digital marketing to maximise your reach with the right target audience.

3. Hold Flash-y Online Mother’s Day Sales
Ecommerce stores should consider saving a few promotionsf or the actual weekend of Mother’s Day.
