11 Ways to Get More Sales on Mother's Day: Chatbot Ideas for Fun

Mother's Day is coming up, and you're probably thinking about how to get more sales. You want your customers to be happy on Mother's Day, but also want them to come back again in the future.


That means that you need a chatbot idea that will make your customer happy as well as increase profits for your business!


Here are some ideas of what you can do with a chatbot on Mother's Day:

#1 Send personalized messages...to their mothers

We're not saying you need to figure out who their mothers are. They might not even have Facebook! But we are 100% sure they're thinking about how to greet mom on Mother's Day. Why not point them in the right direction?


Every day until Mother's Day itself, give them a little something they can choose from, and let them know you've got their back if it's a heartfelt message to mother that they're looking for.


Hey, looking for that perfect message to greet mom Happy Mother's Day?

We've got your back! Why not send them this little limerick:


There once was a very fine mother

Much better than any other

She came my way

On my birth day

And I'll never trade her for another!


Not quite what you're looking for? Stay tuned, we've got a few more ideas...


With a chatbot, it's super easy to send your customers a quick scheduled message like that one.


They'll know to look forward to your chatbot's messages after that. But make sure that you let them opt out of getting these messages, too. A simple "don't need my help? sure, just let me know!" will suffice.

#2 Offer discounts

Everybody loves discounts, and if they're in a rush to get something for mom, your discount just might get them to get your offering.

Here's how you can do it:


Create a promotion code with the words "happymothersday" that offers an introductory price for one item, then offer a discount on multiple items when they buy more than one.


Have your chatbot say something like this to let them know about the sale: "Wondering what to get your mom for Mom's Day? This beautiful gift takes the cake...and you can even go twinning if you buy more than one!"

#3 Give away free samples or extra gifts

Giving people free samples or gifts is a great way to introduce a new product to them. What better way to shower your customers with gifts when they're looking to shower someone else? They'll love that you thought of them, and they'll love the gift you gave to their mom.


Here's how you can do it:


Include an automated message that lets new customers know about a free sample when they buy more than one item from your store through chatbot messaging. You could also include something like "Buy now and get this new item included in your order."


Since you're sending it at a time when they're already looking for something to get their mom, chances are, they're more likely to take you up on your offer.

#4 Promote a new line or product

This is a great way to increase your sales and get more customers! A new product line is always exciting, and it can bring back previous customers and attract new ones. A holiday like Mother's Day is a great time to do this, when people are more open to trying new things.


Here's how you can do it:


Send out an automated message that tells people about the new products in your store. You could also mention a special offer for them if they want to buy one of those items through your chatbot.


Combine this with a great promotional code and gift-wrapping and they'll be even more excited to get your product for their mom (or themselves!).

#5 Give recommendations

Sometimes people want to buy something for their mom, but they're not sure what she'd like. That's where you can help! That's the great thing about chatbots - they are great at chatting up your customers so they don't feel like it's a chore.


Ask them about their mother's tastes and interests, and then offer suggestions on items that would be perfect: "Do you know if your mom is into gardening?", "Does she love playing cards?" or "Is she into kpop?" are great leading questions.


Once you've got some answers, recommending a couple of your own products should be a breeze!


Make sure your leading questions point towards some of your own product line, because that's where your store's strengths are.

Mother's Day is Just Around the Corner
