Every Thursday Rymax Marketing Services Inc. strives to help educate current and potential business partners about the inner workings of our industry. Whether the program you’re offering is for customer loyalty, employee recognition, player rewards or corporate gifting, we’re tapping into the expertise of some of our senior staff to provide you with valuable insider information that can help you build a successful and impactful marketing program.

This week, we bring you insights from our Purchasing Department as we look into the top trends for Mother’s Day gifts this year.

With Mother’s Day quickly approaching, we bring you important and perhaps staggering, statistics.

According to the National Retail Federation (NRF), the average spending on Mother’s Day gifts will reach up to 23.6 Billion dollars this year. That’s a 2.4 billion dollar increase from 2016 and a 3.6 billion dollar increase from 2015.

In addition:

• The percentage of people celebrating Mother’s Day will increase by 20.7% from 2016
• 37% of the items purchased will fall within the accessories category
• 5% of the items purchased will fall within the jewelry category

For anyone looking to reduce their spending this year, Rymax Marketing Services, Inc., the #1 supplier of loyalty programs and employee engagement, offers a smart alternative: the re-gifting of items redeemed in employee recognition and customer loyalty programs.

For over 20 years Rymax has been offering 10,000 product rewards from over 350 top brand names like Michael Kors, Zac Posen, and Swarovski.
