Mother’s Day is all about celebrating Mothers, Grandmothers, Aunts, and any other women in our lives that are important to us. It’s a day to celebrate these amazing women and all of the support and love that they have provided us.
It’s hard to ignore the number of Mother’s Day emails that are sent out for weeks on end, leading up to this special day. Some of the messages and creativity is just too much to ignore. Here are the top emails I came across this year, and what was so amazing about them!
Best Free Offer and Collaboration
Subject: She’ll Love This (And So Will You)
Ann Taylor partnered with Paperless Post this year for Mother’s Day, allowing customers to choose from 8 cards online. Subscribers could either email their Mom the free card, or starting at just $1.45, they could customize, and mail her a paper card. Sounds like a win-win to me!
Sweetest Animation and Sale
Subject: extra 25% off sale! plus, mother’s day gifting, covered.
kate spade knocked it out of the park with this sweet daisy animation and an amazing sale! Who doesn’t want an extra 25% off sale items, and to watch an adorable purse of flowers bloom? This sale was so good, I am sure most subscribers not only bought something for Mom, but also for themselves. Click here for the GIF version.

They spoke to their unique jewelry, allowing the subscriber to shop for anyone on their list. As an added bonus, they ran a #MothersLove sweepstakes by snapping and sharing a pic of you and your Mother figure. See the email up close.
Beautiful Letters
Subject: Why I love Mother’s Day
New York and Company featured Eva Mendes in this email, and she appears to have written a beautiful letter speaking to the inspiration behind her new collection, the amazing women in her life. This email is not only gorgeous but speaks to the subscriber, giving it a personal touch. Fall in love with the email.
