Sponsors for Mother’s Day

Mother’s Day is just around the corner.

And whether you’re a solo entrepreneur or running a growing small business, this is your chance to shine.

Mother’s Day isn’t just about flowers and cards—it’s one of the biggest consumer spending holidays of the year. And yes, that means your small business has a big opportunity to grow, connect, and get noticed.

Let me tell you why. And how.

Mother’s Day Means Big Business

Did you know there are over 85 million mothers in the U.S.? That’s a lot of love. And a lot of spending.

Mothers are behind:

• 55% of spending on electronics
  
• 51% on food
  
• 49% on health & beauty aids
  
• 48% on home furnishings
  
• 47% on clothing
  

That’s trillions of dollars every year—and Mother’s Day is when much of that spending happens.

Companies like Disney Baby, Yahoo! Creators, Butcherbox, and even Meta have all jumped on board as Mother’s Day sponsors. Why? Because they understand the power of moms—and the people who love them.

Now, I want your small business to think like those big brands. You don’t need their budget. You just need their mindset.

You Deserve Sponsorship This Mother’s Day

As a coach who has spent years guiding small business owners—especially women—I’ve seen too many brilliant entrepreneurs sit back during peak seasons like Mother’s Day.

They think: “I’m too small to get sponsors” or “I don’t have time to create a campaign.”

Let me gently challenge that.

You are not too small. You just haven’t asked the right people yet.

Sponsorships aren’t only for celebrities or huge influencers. They’re for people with heart, with purpose, and with a message. That’s you.

Whether you’re planning a Mother’s Day pop-up, offering a limited-edition product, or hosting a brunch or workshop, there are sponsors out there who would love to support you—especially if your audience includes moms or families.

Why Sponsors Love Mother’s Day

Let’s be honest: brands want visibility. They want engagement. And they want to be part of meaningful moments.

Mother’s Day gives them all three.

When your small business hosts a heartfelt event or runs a creative promotion tied to Mother’s Day, it gives sponsors a natural and emotional way to connect with their audience.

You’re doing the creative work. They’re adding the fuel.

My Mother’s Legacy Fuels My Mission

When I think about Mother’s Day, I always think of my own mom, Blossom Rose Hollander.

She was my biggest cheerleader. She never missed a school play. She was there for every milestone. When we adopted our family dog Skippy, she announced in the car, “I’m going to spoil this dog rotten.” And she did—just like she did with me and my sister Patty.

Blossom Rose passed in 2010, but her nurturing spirit lives on in me. She taught me how to lead with empathy, how to show up, and how to believe in people.

That’s why I do what I do—because I believe in your small business just like she believed in me.

Final Thoughts: Mother’s Day Sponsors

If your mom is still with you—call her.

Not a text. Not an email.

Call her. Listen. Tell her you love her. Thank her.

And if she’s no longer here, honor her by showing up for someone else. A friend, a customer, a stranger. That’s what my mom would’ve done.

And that’s what I’m doing now—by reminding your small business just how powerful and deserving you are this Mother’s Day.

I’m confident you’ve got what it takes!
