In your eCommerce journey and POD business, Mother’s Day is a good opportunity to boost sales. This year, because of the Covid-19 pandemic, Americans may have to celebrate Mother’s Day at home. Let’s check out some suggestions that may help you make the most of this opportunity.
Table of Contents
Ask yourself who do you want to sell your design for?
Mom’s themselves: Moms enjoy being recognized. It’s why this holiday is so great and the products really can be worn year round. If your message is a general “Mom is awesome” themed – that will increase wear time.
Step Moms: They have stepped into the Mom role and need a shout-out as well. Plus this niche is very large so don’t miss out on the opportunity here.
Adoptive Moms: Another niche of amazing ladies to keep in mind are the adoptive mama’s out there.
Mothers-In-Law: Don’t forget this group of ladies – because honestly, they won’t let you. They are in your life and they are here to stay. Ladies with this title, need some recognition for sure.
First time Mom, new moms, or expecting moms: A mom’s first Mother’s Day is an important occasion. So design with them in mind!
The Children: After all what better way to honor mom than t-shirts that say “I’m cute like Mom”. Little kids wearing shirts that celebrate mom are a must have!
Moms of Fur-Babies: This is a fantastic area to get into. Those fur-babies take up our time, love and attention and should totally be tax write offs. Don’t miss out on this huge area of Moms that chose an alternative responsibility such as dogs (can go breed specific), cats (always popular) or not-so-common pets like birds, reptiles or even rats.
Grandma: They can definitely get a little love on this day as well.
Aunts: There is a huge population of ladies out there who may not have kiddos of their own but their nieces and nephews definitely fit the bill. So keep this group of ladies in mind.
Dads that are a mom too: So maybe pulling on the heartstrings but it is a niche.
