The Mother’s Day 2016 Top Freebies & Discounts for Food, Restaurants and Retailers; Plus Online Deals Galore
SOURCE: LATIN POST
Digital commerce firm SUMO Heavy found Americans averaged $163 per year on Mother's Day gifts, dating back to 2014. Nearly one-third of sales came from online purchases, 24 percent of which came through mobile devices.
Going a little deeper into the study, researchers found $4 billion went to special outings, followed by jewelry ($3.9 billion) and flowers ($2.5 billion). Moms, however, said their preferred gifts are mother's day cards, a cooked dinner, and something homemade.
