Mother’s Day is just days away and if you haven’t included it in your marketing strategy, there’s still time! Even for businesses not involved in e-commerce, Mother’s Day is a widely celebrated holiday that should be a part of your marketing plan. It’s the perfect holiday to reach the hearts and minds of potential consumers in a world taking an increasingly personalized approach to advertising. Here are our tips to help you get started.
Mother’s Day Marketing Should Be Personal
Storytelling and content marketing is a great way to communicate your message to your audience. In general, people are more likely to remember a fact when it is shared in the context of a story. Mother’s Day is the perfect time to share a heartwarming story with a meaningful message, get people to know the moms who work at your company, or encourage users to share stories of their own!
Make a Mother’s Day Contest
Contests are a great way to get users to engage with your brand. After all, who doesn’t like winning free stuff?! If your company has something to give away, now is a great time to kick off a Mother’s Day contest. These giveaways don’t have to be super high-value items or services, but should be reflective of what your company has to offer. Get people to share their favorite memories of their mom, the best part about being a mom, or the best Mother’s Day gift they ever received — get as creative as you can!
Remember to take your campaign online and include a custom hashtag to spread awareness and encourage participation.
