Mother’s Day marketing?
Mother’s Day is around the corner, and with it might come a unique marketing opportunity. If any of your clients are mothers, it might not hurt to wish them a happy day. But be careful. Only wish them a happy mother’s day if they are a mother. I remember being nowhere near motherhood, not even pregnant, and cringing whenever someone said it to me. I desperately wanted to be a mother, and hearing that was hard.
This Mother’s Day I’m going to spend time with my daughter, (the best present I could wish for…as long as she’s in a good mood). For my own mother, who makes everything I do possible, I want to give her the world to show her my gratitude. Instead, I’ll make sure she gets to visit with her granddaughter, and I’ll give her a day of rest and relaxation. I can’t say too much here (since she’s a devoted reader of my blog).
When I wasn’t living down the street from my mother I sent her gifts via companies like 1-800-Flowers. They always had great gift ideas, including flowers for mothers, spa sets, and more.
What are you doing for your mother, or for your clients that are mothers, on Mother’s Day?

For our Mother’s Day, we’ll be taking my mom and dad out for the local Chinese buffet. My husband recently asked me what I want for Mother’s Day – I’m so content with my life nowadays, my answer was Macaw-sized nutriberries for my Twitter Budgies and that’s it!
I like the Mother’s Day marketing idea (have to write about that!) and will probably be offering a discount to all mompreneurs for my products. Holidays are always great for marketing.
Enjoy,

It’s tough because I’ll be missing Mother’s Day for my mom this year. It was bad timing that I booked my vacation time for this year around Mother’s Day. Now I have to think of something special to give while I’m away… My mom has always been really practical and we’d take her out to eat… she has never been a flowers/candy/spa type person. So I’m wracking my brain at what I can give her when I’m away that will mean something to her.
