How do I re-engage Mother's Day buyers for next year?
The short answer
In depth
Re-Engaging Mother's Day Buyers for Next Year
Mother's Day creates a predictable, annually recurring purchase intent. A buyer who purchased last May is the most likely person to purchase this May. Systematic re-engagement of prior-year buyers is one of the most cost-effective marketing activities a Shopify merchant can invest in.
Re-Engagement Sequence
| Touchpoint | Timing Before Mother's Day | Message |
|---|---|---|
| Early preview email | 6-8 weeks before | Reference last year's purchase, show new arrivals |
| Loyalty offer | 4 weeks before | Returning customer discount or free shipping |
| Deadline reminder | 2 weeks before | Order now to guarantee delivery, here is what she loved last time |
Data Needed for Re-Engagement
- Product category purchased - Reference the specific category to signal personalization
- Order date - Identify and suppress buyers who already re-engaged through Father's Day
- Email engagement history - Segment engaged (opened prior emails) from unengaged for different re-activation approaches
