7 Engaging Email Ideas for a Mother’s Day Jewelry Campaign

7 Examples from Mother’s Day jewelry email campaigns we love

1. Mother’s Day opt-out email

While being one of the most heart-warming holidays, Mother’s Day can also be tough on many. That’s why it’s a thoughtful practice to give your subscribers an opportunity to opt-out – right at the beginning of your campaign.

Here is how Ferko’s does it:

From there, you’ll need to create a segment of those who click through the opt-out email and exclude them from future emails about Mother’s Day.

Subject line ideas for this email:

• Mother’s Day is coming – let us know if you want to snooze our emails
• We’re starting our Mother's Day promo soon — want to opt out?

2. Gift ideas for Mother’s Day

If you’ve ever shopped for Mother’s Day gifts, you know it can be challenging. For most people, it takes a few days to consider different options and make a decision. That’s why it’s always a good idea to start with gift recommendations.

Here is how Mejuri launched its campaign with a beautiful story and a collection of most-gifted pieces:

You can also put together a gift guide broken down by categories that make sense for your online jewelry store, such as:

• Most popular gifts
• Personality-based gift ideas
• Jewelry gifts for different budgets

For example, VRAI featured gift collections under $500 and under $1000 in their campaign to make it easier for customers to navigate:

If you’re using email marketing apps like Getsitecontrol, you can track what collections your customers click through and send them related recommendations.

Subject lines for a gift guide promo email:

• Our Mother’s Day gift guide is here
• Explore gifts for every mom
• Shop our Mother’s Day gift collection

3. Mother’s Day sale announcement

Once you’ve warmed up your subscribers with gift ideas, it’s time to encourage them to take action. The easiest way to do that is by providing a limited-time offer. You can frame it as a sale, a BOGO promo, or a discount offer on selected items.

Bryan Anthonys is an excellent example of the third approach:

Note that your sale announcement is a perfect moment to remind your customers about a special collection or a gift guide. Use product cards to feature your bestsellers and drive customers straight to shop.

Subject line ideas for the sale announcement:

• Mother’s Day sale is on! Hurry up, it’s only 3 days
• BOGO: Save 50% on Mother's Day collection
• Get 20% off our bestselling gifts – curated for Mother's Day

4. Mother's Day sale countdown

During the holiday season, customers’ inboxes are bombarded with promos. Distractions can be so numerous that no matter how good your deal is, there's a chance it will get overlooked. That’s why it’s a good practice to send a reminder when your sale is about to end.

If your email marketing software allows you to use personalization, you can even feature a piece of jewelry your subscribers viewed or clicked through – to remind them what piqued their interest.

For example, I had clicked on this ring in one of the emails from Love & Crafted and later received this reminder in my inbox:

Subject lines for a sale countdown email:

• Mother’s Day sale ending soon – get 30% off before it’s too late
• Countdown is on! Shop today to save 20% on gifts for mom
• Only 3 more days. Mother’s Day gift guide with 20% off

5. Last call to order gifts for Mother’s Day

Choosing the right gift is only a part of the holiday shopping challenge. Another tricky part is to ensure it’s delivered on time. That’s why it’s a thoughtful idea to remind your customers about shipping timelines.

There are two ways to do it. First, you can send a dedicated email featuring the shipping cutoff, as Rellery did:

The second, less explicit way is to add your shipping schedule to every email in your Mother’s Day promo campaign. Maya Brenner did exactly that:

If you have different shipping options – such as regular and priority – make sure to include them, as well as minimum order amounts required to get free shipping.

Subject line ideas for the shipping cutoff email:

• Last call for Mother’s Day gifts shipping
• Last chance for guaranteed Mother’s Day delivery
• Order by May 7^th to receive it by Mother’s Day

6. Gift card promo

Over 50% of consumers were planning to buy gift cards for their loved ones on Mother’s Day in 2023, according to Statista. Another research, done by Lendingtree, shows that for 19% of moms, a gift card is a preferred gift. That’s why you need to make sure you add a gift card option to your Mother’s Day jewelry campaign.

Consider this exemplary gift card promo from Ferko’s:

There are two things you can learn from this example. First, including the ‘How it works’ section is an excellent idea because it eliminates guesswork. Second, it’s a great practice to feature the image of your gift card because some customers may decide to print it, and you’ll make their job easier by inserting a pre-designed card.

Subject line ideas for the gift card promo email:

• Let your mom choose her own gift
• Spoil your mom with a gift of choice
• Mother’s Day is tomorrow – celebrate with a gift card

7. Personal Mother’s Day note

Personal notes aren’t necessarily designed to drive sales, but when done right, their impact can be profound. Mother’s Day email campaigns are a beautiful opportunity for founders who want to nurture their relationship with customers to establish a deeper connection.

Our first example is a personal email from the founder of Bryan Anthonys where she shares her story from a perspective of a mother and a daughter:

The second example in this category is by Aurate’s founders who put together an inspiring collection of customer stories on what motherhood means to them.

There is no single right way to craft a personal note because it’s something that should be aligned with your own story and the brand’s tone of voice. However, we hope these beautiful examples might inspire you to craft a letter of your own.

Subject line ideas for this email:

• Happy Mother's Day from BrandName!
• To the best mom – a note from our founder
• From mother to mother – Happy Mother’s Day

What’s in your Mother's Day jewelry email campaign?

Mother's Day is one of the highest-spending consumer holidays both in the US and Europe. And as a jewelry brand, you’re likely to experience a demand surge around this time of the year. But it’s also the holiday that requires a thoughtful approach.

By allowing your subscribers to snooze Mother’s Day emails, reminding them about shipping deadlines, and sharing your personal story, you can practice thoughtfulness and foster a relationship with your audience.

Start your campaign by announcing upcoming Mother’s Day deals on your website and inviting visitors to join your email list in exchange for a Mother’s Day promo discount. Then engage your current and new subscribers by launching an email marketing automation that includes emails we discussed in this article. Finally, by analyzing how subscribers are clicking through your emails, send them additional promo offers, reminders, or recommendations.
