McConnell’s Fine Ice Creams crafted a sweet campaign to inspire special outings on Mother's Day and drive traffic to their physical stores. The ice cream company created a segment of SMS subscribers who live near one of their Scoop Shops, then sent them an exclusive geo-targeted promotion: two scoops for the price of one, only on Mother’s Day.

Catbird makes it easy for their customers to find the perfect present with a curated Mother's Day Gift Shop on their website. They promote product discovery on the page with filters that people can use to browse specific items or collections (e.g., Most Gifted, Under $300). And by "opening" the shop a few weeks in advance, Catbird makes sure their customers have plenty of time to place their orders, so their gifts arrive on time or before Mother’s Day.

The Bouqs Co playfully reminds their subscribers not to put off Mother’s Day shopping by incentivizing them with an “early bird” discount. Not only does this strategy drive more purchases for the brand ahead of the holiday, but it also helps their customers avoid the stress of having to run out and find a beautiful bouquet at the last minute.
