Mother's Day is May 8, Bestselling Artist Lena Liu Featured in this Year's Bouquets from 1-800-I-LOVE-YOU Teleflora Florist
This year Mother's Day, May 8, looks like it will be big for retailers. The National Retail Federation's 2005 Mother's Day Consumer Intentions and Actions Survey forecasts spending up 10 percent to $11.4 billion this year. In addition to the expected honorees -- mothers, grandmothers and stepmothers -- nearly 40% of husbands plan to purchase a gift for their wives. Mother's Day isn't just for moms anymore. Wives, sisters, daughters and grandmothers alike will be showered with flowers and gifts this Mother's Day."Last year a trend that has become popular is the sending of Mother's Day flowers to their place of employment, says Ken Summerville of 1-800-I-LOVE-YOU, a Teleflora wire service.
"Because so many mothers do work,
they like their coworkers to see that they have been remembered with flowers on Mother's Day. There's another benefit too: They can enjoy the flowers all week and then bring them home for the weekend, instead of getting them on Saturday or Sunday, then leaving them at home."Online sales for sending flowers has increased over the years.
While many services charge a wire fee or service fee from $9.95 - $12.95, services such as http://www.800iloveyou.com do not charge a wire fee or service fee when ordering online.
