WebSitePulse 2024 Mother's Day Retail Performance and Uptime Report
As Mother's Day 2024 approaches on May 12th, it's time to start planning how we can celebrate and show appreciation for the mothers and maternal figures in our lives. This annual occasion provides a wonderful opportunity to express gratitude and love to those who have nurtured and supported us, whether it's our own mothers, grandmothers, aunts, or any other maternal figure who holds a special place in our hearts.
GlobalData's most recent prediction indicates that total expenditure is expected to hit £1.7 billion, reflecting a 1.1 percent uptick from 2023, with more than half of consumers planning to make gift purchases before the occasion. Nonetheless, retailers worry that shoppers will prioritize swift deals and product availability, leading to expectations of a shortened trading timeframe.
