On the first Sunday of May, we get to celebrate all of the moms out there with Mother’s Day! As a $21.2 billion dollar holiday, more than four million online searches were conducted in 2015 on everything from Mother’s Day gifts, images, poems, to quotes and activities. While “Mothers” and “Mom” were important keywords to use, don’t forget to include support terms like “homemade”, “presents”, “ideas”, and “unique” in your posts to draw in those shoppers.
