The way we shop for Mother's Day is evolving; just 48%, said that they will be buying from a bricks and mortar store. 40% said they will be buying online and the remaining 12% on a tablet or smart phone. The survey also found that incentives for purchasing online, such as free shipping 31%, price cuts 31% and coupons 20%, all enticed consumers to buy Mother's Day gifts in this way.
Hitwise also revealed that 11 per cent of all searches for Mother’s day online included the word ‘when’, so for any of you who have forgotten Mother’s Day is this Sunday (10 March).
In the UK, the average spends for Mother's Day is £30, which is quite high in comparison with the average spends for Father's Day (only £10).
The top gifts for mothers are flowers, chocolate, alcohol, beauty treatments, cards and scented candles.
Robert Dyas was founded in 1872. It operates a portfolio of 96 stores located across the south of England and has a strong ecommerce business. Its retail proposition is to offer well priced products for the home from convenient high street locations to a loyal and growing customer base.
