eCommerce seller’s will say to me , “Kathy I know, Mother’s Day is coming, but I don’t have any Mother’s Day gift ideas in my store inventory, help!”

And I respond, “it’s time to re-think Mother’s Day and let’s look at your inventory!”

Do you sell collectibles? Then you can offer your online and brick and mortar shoppers the gift of memories!
I recently blogged on this for my online store offering my customers gifts for their Mom’s of a beautiful ceramic dish from pre World War II and another choice from the 1980’s.

‘But, you say to me, I sell auto parts or electronics! Well, don’t loving children buy their Mom a new set of hubcaps, or replace her spark plugs? Does Mom still play CDs? She might be due for a new CD player, as i tunes are not her idea of a way to listen to music.

The point is for you take some time and look at your inventory and think. 

After all, Mother’s Day is more than clothes, jewelry and perfume!( Not that those aren’t terrific gifts and I hope my son is reading this).

Depending on the budget you have, you might consider finding out if there are free shuttles and/or shuttle services to and from the hotel of the event so that you don’t need to rent a car or pay for a solo cab ride.

Once you’re at your meeting make sure you bring a sweater or light jacket and wear comfortable shoes as often there is a lot of walking to and from seminar rooms and temperature changes in the meeting rooms.

Having a jacket and or sweater with you and comfortable shoes is helpful.

Whether the conference networking event you’re attending is local or a distance away you’ll want to grab a list of the event speakers. Then google them! Yup google them.

Read their blogs, listen to their youtubes and or read a book they’ve published. What is their area of expertise? Think about questions you’d like to ask the speaker if you’re able.
