3 Easy Ways to Build Anticipation for Mother’s Day

If you’re trying to figure out which strategy to use for your brand this Mother’s Day, it is increasingly easy for brands to connect with customers with marketing automation software. Consider trying the following tactics to foster engagement and boost sales:

1. Fill your social media accounts with love and celebration. When it comes to social media, the 80/20 rule applies – only 20% of posts should be product-focused, while 80% support branding, culture, or educational content. In this case, you can fill that 80% with posts that highlight mothers among your employees, show gratitude to mother figures across the globe, or share touching Mother’s Day stories from years past. By using automation to schedule out a calendar full of feel-good content, you can position your brand as a place to find sincere and heart-warming gifts.
2. Automate a series of Mother’s Day messages with email and SMS. Get in touch with your customers using a medium they’re constantly checking with email and SMS. Incorporate subject lines and links that guide them toward special Mother’s Day offerings and let them know what’s popular for Mother’s Day this year. Make sure to get started early and announce any special offers to build anticipation and awareness among shoppers.
3. Offer special VIP Mother’s Day promotions. To encourage customer engagement, why not offer exclusive promotions to social media followers, email subscribers, or app users? With automation, you can easily send out social stories, reward emails, or push notifications to share VIP offers like discount codes or free shipping.
