Wednesday, May 10, 2000 THE OAKVILLE BEAVER C3 M O TH ER 'SD A Y Research shows that moms get royal treatment on Mother's Day (Continued from C1) as might be expected, Mother's Day attracts a larger percentage of male purchasers than most other holiday occasions. About 20 per cent of all Mother's Day cards w ill be purchased by men, compared to the 80 per cent by women. (This compares to seasonal occasions overall where its only 10 per cent men and 90 per cent women.) · When are they purchased? Carlton Cards research indicates a fair amount of planning goes into purchasing Mother's Day cards for many people. More than 50 per cent of all card-buyers purchase them tw o weeks before Mother's Day. About 30 per cent procrasti nate, waiting one week or less before Mother's Day to purchase their cards. · Changing family dynamics cards remain a central part of most fam ily Mother's Day celebrations, but Carlton Cards research shows the types of cards being sent are changing. Because "fam ily" can mean so many different things today, there are cards appropriate for single and divorced moms, stepmoms, foster mothers, care givers, guardians and others who play "motherly roles" in the lives of children. An estimated 40 per cent o f all Mother's Day cards w ill be sent to someone other than one's own mother. First time mothers receive the most cards of all.
