• Send out a personalized happy Mother’s Day email to your clients (but keep it inclusive).
• Send out a marketing email with Mother’s Day discounts and promotions you’re running.
• Compile a newsletter with a mix of announcements, resources, and tips. Include your gift guide, things to do list, and giveaway instructions, of course.

No, Mother’s Day will never be the simple single-white-carnation-wearing day Anna wanted it to be, but there are plenty of simple ways your business can recognize the holiday in such a manner that prioritizes virtues over sales. And those simple Mother’s Day marketing ideas include:
First and foremost, remember that Mother’s Day isn’t a happy day for everyone. It can be a struggle for women who have lost a child, for mothers who have lost a mother, for children who don’t have a mother. Consider providing your audience with an opt-out for Mother’s Day material or adjusting your messaging to recognize these groups.

Have a countdown

So why not compile a Mother’s Day gift guide for those in your audience. It doesn’t have to be of products or services you offer. In fact, if you don’t offer anything relevant, it can consist entirely of others’ products/services. Content marketing is about adding value for your audience, sometimes purely altruistically.
