Tip №1: Personalize the product.

Personalization is a simple and effective way to lure customers. When selecting a gift, particularly for a loved one like a mother, it's important that it stands out and is unique. By offering the option to add a name, photo or an engraving, such as a child's drawing, to your product, you're providing a significant advantage to your store guaranteeing customer attraction.Personalization is also significant for the wedding theme, as we discussed in the article titled "The Wedding Season Begins!"

Tip №2: Evaluate low-performing listings and keywords

When updating listings for Mother's Day shoppers, remember the Golden Rule: never change a listing that is already successful! It is advisable to utilize eRank to review listings. Take careful note of your advertisement's visibility score. If the score is below 9%, it's likely that you need to focus on this advertisement and make it more pertinent

In conclusion, it is important not to modify the listings of top-performing products. However, it is crucial to focus on ads with few reviews that have the potential to attract Mother's Day buyers.

Tip №3: Review Trends from Last Year

At least four to six weeks before the holiday, allocate time to analyze the search trend data from the previous year. Certain products or services may be perennial favorites that remain consistent from year to year.
