Of course, if you are a mom, don’t forget to celebrate yourself too!
Tips for celebrating Mother’s Day on social media
Focus on connection and authenticity
Think about how you can bring a humanized element to your marketing. Try incorporating photos and quotes from real customers, customer storytelling, and colorful elements that bring more life to your content.
Don’t forget other motherly figures
Use this day to celebrate all the mother figures in our lives that help us grow. Don’t forget to give a special shout-out to step-moms, grandmothers, aunts, sisters, and mentors. We’d even include dog moms, cat moms, and plant moms!
Be inclusive
In addition to including other members of the family that take on a mother figure, try to be inclusive with your marketing efforts as well. The key is to make sure your content represents the diversity of the people that engage and purchase from you. Take a look at your content and ask yourself if your audience sees themselves in your marketing.
Show empathy
While this is a day filled with love and joy, this isn’t the case for everyone. For some, it can be a painful reminder of loss or strained relationships. In order to help balance the joy and grief, some brands have even started to create policies allowing customers to opt-out of Mother’s Day marketing promotions.
