If you're reading this and thinking,

“Ugh… I meant to do a Mother’s Day promo, but life got in the way.”
First of all—you’re not alone.

Makers wear a lot of hats. You’re not just the creator—you’re also the packer, shipper, customer service rep, and marketer (on a good day). It’s easy for holidays like Mother’s Day to sneak up on you.

But here’s the good news: you don’t have to dwell on the missed sale. You can use this moment to prep for your next one.

Step 1: Reflect, Don’t Spiral

Yes, it stinks to miss a sales opportunity—but instead of beating yourself up, ask:

• When did you realize Mother’s Day was coming?

• What kept you from posting or planning?

• What would’ve helped you stay on top of it?

This isn’t about shame—it’s about learning how you work best.

Step 2: Look Ahead

Good news: more holidays are right around the corner.

📅 What’s next?

• Graduation season (late May/June)

• Father’s Day (June 16)

• End-of-year teacher gifts

• Fourth of July

• Back to School prep

Planning now gives you time to create, photograph, and promote your offers without panic.

Step 3: Make Future You’s Life Easier

If Mother’s Day crept up on you, it’ll probably happen again—unless you put a system in place.

That’s exactly why I built My Social Companion.

Each month, you get:
✔️ A seasonal content calendar
✔️ Caption prompts that actually help you sell
✔️ Canva video templates
✔️ Email templates
✔️ One simple system to stay consistent (without living online)

You don’t need to guess when or what to post anymore. It’s all done for you—just personalize and go.

Bonus: Post Mother’s Day Anyway

Did you make a Mother’s Day product and forget to post it?
Share it today with a message like:

“Made this for Mother’s Day but never shared it! Handmade with love and still available if you’re celebrating late. ❤️”

It’s authentic, relatable, and still marketable.

You’re not behind—you’re building.
Every “oops” is a chance to set up smarter systems so the next launch feels less chaotic and a whole lot more profitable.
