Amazon India
The brand knocked it out of the park with a video showing how important a mother’s touch has been in everybody’s life. Right from pregnancy to adulthood, mothers have been selfless with their families.
Ulta Beauty
Ulta launched the #PamperHerWithPretty campaign to remind customers to treat their mothers with beauty products. This inspired their audience to remember how they got beauty tips from their mothers during their childhood. So Ulta beauty released a video featuring the top beauty tips collected and including the Instagram handles of the customers who contributed them.
The emotional connection was established with the high relatability to this video by the customers.
Project Eve
The fashion brand addressed a pending, underlying issue of swearing. The brand shows the number of abuses that involve the word “maa” or “mother” in it and asks everyone to leave the word out.
An innovative, yet very relatable campaign from the brand.
Preganews
The video talks about why the gender of the baby is important at all. The brand says “Why do we still worry about a baby’s gender? This Mother’s Day, it’s time to take a stand. Prega News celebrates gender-free good news because a healthy baby is what matters most. #GoodNewsIsGenderFree #PregaNewsMeansGoodNews” .
Mother’s Day campaign takeaways
Mother’s Day is all about bonds. Forge closer ties with your customer base by amplifying their emotions.
When customers reach out to you, reach back: Commenting on customer photos or featuring entries on your website is a great way to let customers know you’re listening and strengthen their bond with your brand.
Add a competitive element: Consider adding a little friendly competition to keep participants checking back and sharing their contributions for more exposure.
If there’s an incentive, make it appropriate: Something mom-centric, something that could be enjoyed with mom, or a donation to a compassionate cause.
Go beyond obvious messaging: Ask a thought-provoking question to inspire customer engagement and encourage user-generated content.
Choose the right influencer: Know your audience. Influencers should reflect your target audience and know how to speak to them.
