Tip #2: Think beyond the sale
Not every Mother's Day video has to be a sale. There are lots of ways to get your business out there with video without marking your prices down. We've put together a few examples.
Share quotes from happy customers
There are lots of ways you can use quotes in your videos. One of the best ways for businesses to use quotes is by sharing positive customer reviews. Highlight a line from a happy customer’s review of a product or service you’ve sold as a Mother's Day gift in the past with our Product Testimonial template. Or, share a review from a happy mother who loved her gift. Testimonial videos are a fantastic way to build trust and get new customers comfortable doing business with you.
Send best wishes to all the moms
There’s no harm in going with a straightforward holiday greeting, but before you do, consider what sort of spin your business, and only your business, could put on it. What will feel unique to your brand and stand apart from the other Mother’s Day messages your customers will inevitably encounter?
Our Mother's Day Greeting template tells the heartfelt story of a mother and daughter. You can easily customize this template with photos of your customers to show your appreciation or add images of your mother to show your audience how much this day means to you.
To All The Moms Template
Don't forget to recognize all of the moms at your company for their hard work, dedication, and sacrifice. Our To All The Moms template offers a simple yet thoughtful Mother's Day message, thanking the moms at your business for all they do.
Add a more personal touch to your video with voice-over, giving business owners, members of the c-suite, and more the opportunity to recognize every mom at your business.
Tell your brand's story
As we said, Mother’s Day is a huge deal for shoppers. Give potential customers a reason to choose your business over other options with a video telling the story of why you do what you do and why you're the best option when shopping for mom.
Create an eye-catching video telling your brand's story with our Service Brand Story template, and use our interactive worksheet to write your story's script.
Tip #3: Use stock images and video clips
An engaging visual can make or break a marketing video, and Mother’s Day promos are no exception. If you don’t already have the luxury of a library of industry-specific media to pick and choose from–which most people do not–stock images and video clips are the way to go.
Find just what you're looking for in our extensive stock library. The Select stock library on our Professional plan features 1 million+ photos and videos from Getty Images, and the Premium library on our Professional Plus plan offers 100 million+ photos and video clips. Search for Mother's Day-related terms to find the right imagery for your video.
Tip #4: Make sure your videos are on-brand
One of the best practices for not only getting your videos viewed but getting them recognized is bringing them on brand, which you can do with the click of a button using Saved Brands.
Saved Brands help you save time by cutting out repetitive tasks like changing fonts, applying your colors, and uploading your logo. You can create one Saved Brand with our Professional plan or create multiple Saved Brands using our Professional Plus plan.
While the Professional plan grants you access to 40 fonts, you can bring your video entirely on brand by uploading your own font with the Professional Plus plan.
Our Service Brand Story and Product Brand Story templates can help you tell your unique story in minutes.
