3. Host a Mother’s Day contest with prizes from your store.

Everyone loves contests. Adding a contest or giveaway to your marketing plan will help you to build a positive brand image and brand awareness. You can also surprise those that don’t win first prize with discount code on the product to increase customer loyalty.

4. Use discount codes to attract savvy shoppers.

Discount codes will give you a massive advantage over savvy deal hunters that check special offers before buying. If they can’t find it in your store, they will simply go to your competitor.
