While the opinion surrounding Mother’s Day is changing, with consumers feeling more and more that Mother’s Day is getting too commercialized, most consumers are still celebrating. Some might celebrate because it’s a “ special occasion”, others because of the “pressure from commercial entities”, but nonetheless, the popularity of Mother’s Day is evident across Europe.
It’s no secret for any marketer in 2024, the previous year has been hard on consumers. You have to make sure that your campaigns highlight the cost value of your offering; special deals, offers, the possibility to win a Mother’s Day gift or discount codes, etc.
Gift giving can be difficult for lots of people. Think about a Mother’s Day marketing campaign that can help your customers choose the perfect gift within your offering, considering their budget, taste, etc.

Depending on your target audience, your Mother’s Day marketing campaign can take different turns. If you’re targeting Gen Z or millennials, it makes sense to assist your audience in finding the perfect gift for the mothers in their lives. Similarly, if your target demographic is women aged 30 and above, a campaign expressing gratitude towards mothers in general could resonate well.
It’s worth noting that not everyone has a good relationship with their parents or still has them. Therefore, consider being inclusive and celebrating all the mothers around you, not just your own might resonate better.
