Should I offer a spend-more-save-more Mother's Day deal?

Spend-more-save-more promotions are a specific category of tiered discount that directly communicates the escalating reward structure to customers in simple spend-and-save language. For Mother's Day, this framing can drive meaningful average order value increases by making the benefit of adding more to the cart immediately visible and intuitive, particularly for gift buyers who are already inclined to spend more to create a better gift experience.

TL;DR - Quick Answer

Spend-more-save-more promotions work well for Mother's Day when the tiers are set approximately 25 to 30% above your current average order value at each level, creating genuine stretch behavior without setting an unreachable goal. Frame the messaging around gift value rather than savings: complete her gift set and save 20% rather than spend $100 and get 20% off. The gift-completion framing motivates buyers who are already thinking in terms of gift quality rather than transaction cost.
