In the United States, Mother’s Day is typically served up the second Sunday of every May with breakfast in bed, homemade gifts, and a bouquet. While not every country celebrates on the same day, we do, however, celebrate the same thing, motherhood! It’s the day we show our appreciation, express our gratitude, and spoil the women we love!

We’ve also included some additional best practices to keep in mind while building your first Mother’s Day Giveaway.
Background Imagery
A vital part of promoting your giveaway is the presentation. If you want potential entrants to view you as a professional, trustworthy business and submit their information to your giveaway, you must present yourself as one. Make sure your imagery is well thought out and drawn up professionally!
Your Prize Should POP
Let’s be honest; it’s all about the prize — and that’s okay! Make sure to clearly state the prize by making it a focal point of your page, and don’t be shy about emphasizing how much it is worth!
CTA Button
Make sure your call to action is clear and easily clicked! Cut straight to the point and ensure your entrants know exactly what you’re asking them to do at first glance!
Count It Down
Emphasize urgency! When people think they have time, they’ll use it and usually forget about it; seeing a countdown timer running makes people act fast! Use it to your advantage and watch your clicks convert!
Offer More Information
Give your entrants more details, and add an “additional information” page so those who like to read the fine print can better understand how your giveaway runs, what they could win, when to sign up, and more!
No Extra Links
Don’t give your audience anything else to think about; click on or navigate through! Raise your conversion rate by limiting links on your giveaway page to one — where they sign up!
Terms and Conditions
You’ve got to have them, but no one likes to read them. Our best advice is not to distract your audience with them! Add them as a link so viewers can read them if they’re interested, but so they won’t crowd your giveaway campaign or shift your entrant’s focus! We offer a boilerplate template with all of the needed items to cover to help get you started.
