Who buys and when

Children of every age buy for their parents, and partners often order on behalf of young kids. Mother's Day and Father's Day fall on different dates in different countries, so check which dates matter to your buyers. Orders cluster in the last two weeks before each day.

How to offer it

Think about what each parent actually uses every day. Keys are a good answer: a number plate keychain for the car, a bold key tag with a crown, or a family key holder by the door. For a shelf or desk, the decor text stand can say MOM SINCE 1994 or DAD SINCE 2001, using the year of the first child.

Collect three things in every order: the name or word, the year or registration, and the colours. Then send one approval picture before printing. Our post on starting with personalised keychains covers simple ways to take these orders.

Grandparents are a quiet second market. The same designs work with NANI, DADI, GRANDPA or OPA, and families with several grandchildren often order one item from all of them together, which turns into a small bulk order.

Run two short campaigns a year, one for each day, rather than one long one. Reuse your photos and change the names.

Tips

  • Show a parent and child matching set in your photos
  • Ask for the family nickname, not the formal name
  • For number plates, ask for a clear photo of the plate to copy spacing
  • Keep a last order date for each country you ship to
  • Remind past buyers before the next year's date

Questions

When are Mother's Day and Father's Day?

The dates differ by country, so check the dates where your customers live and plan a last order date for each. Many sellers run one campaign for each day.

Who places the orders?

Often grown-up children, or one parent ordering on behalf of young kids. Ask for the exact name the family uses, such as Mumma, Amma or Papa.

What sells as a bundle?

A keychain for the parent plus a matching one for each child, or a key holder with a keychain. Price the bundle as one item to keep the choice simple.

Which colours suit these gifts?

Ask the buyer. For Father's Day many choose black, navy or grey; for Mother's Day, white with a soft colour or gold. Send the approval picture in the chosen colours.
