There are LOTS of mothers out there

Oneonta OIC Jeff Glass sent us pictures of Oneonta's Mothers' Day lobby display.


Along with the pictures, Jeff wrote, "Oneonta SSA Sharon Johnson designed this Mothers' Day display behind her retail counter.  It's actually more prominent than it appears in the photos, and she has added a few extra touches since the photos were taken.  It's really quite nice. "


"I'm proud of her work and just thought we'd share the idea."


Alabama District Marketing Manager Bridgett Carroll agrees with Jeff's feelings of pride. "This is exactly the type of initiative and drive we need in our employees if we are going to grow retail revenue."

Okay, we've got three weeks until Mothers' Day, which is plenty of time for every office to do their best to design a promotional reminder in the lobby.

It will be well worth the effort. If Postmarks can't convince you, perhaps these facts about Mothers' Day will do the trick:

1. 96% of Americans participate in Mothers' Day.

2. There are over 85 million mothers in the United States alone.

3. Every year, approximately 133 million greeting cards are sent to mothers through the USPS.

4. Mothers' Day is the second highest gift-giving event in the US.

5. According to Hallmark, in Hispanic communities, Mothers' Day ranks first in card-sending occasions.
