mothers day marketing ideas Archives - Attention Getting Marketing

Marketing Ideas Mothers Day I love this marketing idea Mothers Day, a co-marketing effort between 1-800-Flowers.com and Alice’s Table.

The idea is, instead of a gift, give mom an experience you can do together. So, they are offering a flower arranging online workshop that runs on select dates throughout April up to Mother’s Day weekend.

Called the Pink & Pearl Workshop, prior to the 45-minute streaming event, attendees will receive a premier selection of farm-fresh flowers, a vase, and a banana ribbon to create their floral arrangement. The cost is $72 per person, and that includes supplies.

But this idea can apply to so many other businesses.

For example, a restaurant could offer a Mother’s Day mom/child cooking class.

A fitness center could offer a Mother’s Day mom/child workout class.

The possibilities are endless because Mother’s Day is big business, with Americans spending $28 billion each year on gifts for mom.

The added benefit is that both companies are reaching new customers through their partners’ customer base.
