Tweet

The GrabAds SEA Mother’s Day Insights Report 2023 showcases how the leading superapp helps its users create special moments with their moms during the beloved holiday

Having close family ties is one of the hallmarks of Filipino culture. Hence, it comes as no surprise that holidays celebrating the family unit are much beloved in the Philippines. Among the most anticipated is Mother’s Day – and insights from GrabAds, the advertising arm of the leading superapp, show that Pinoys do get busy creating special moments for their nanays every second Sunday of May.

The GrabAds SEA Mother’s Day Insights Report 2023 gives brands and consumers a clear picture of how Grab – with its portfolio of convenient, reliable services like GrabFood, GrabMart and GrabExpress – enables and empowers users to create extra-special Mother’s Day celebrations for their moms.

Here are some interesting insights from the report!

1. Filipinos plan for Mother’s Day

Filipinos take Mother’s Day celebrations seriously. In fact, 88 percent of Grab users in the Philippines have already come up with plans specific to Mother’s Day 2023^[1]. The respondents look forward most to gathering their families, ordering food online, and going out for a meal together with their loved ones and, of course, their inays.

2. Filipinos order food and ship out items a lot more on Mother’s Day

GrabAds insights also show that Filipinos are happy to create special dining experiences at home as they tend to order more on the second Sunday of May. In 2022, GrabFood orders rose by 25 percent on Mother’s Day versus the average number of food orders across all Sundays of April^[2]. The most expensive GrabFood order on Mother’s Day last year was a Php 7,000 steak set^[3] –  a much-deserved treat for the family!

Padala items also tend to be on the road more during Mother’s Day. For instance, last 08 May 2022, there were 37 percent more GrabExpress Deliveries versus the average Express Orders on the Sundays of the month prior^[4]. Indeed, no distance is wide enough to stop the simple thank yous and love yous Filipinos wish to express to their moms.

3. Filipinos enjoy ordering on-demand gifts on Mother’s Day

Gifts overflow during Mother’s Day, too! 8 out of 10 Grab users in the Philippines plan on buying their moms a gift, and 82 percent of these are keen on buying a gift from Grab^[5]. Among the most popular choices on GrabFood and GrabMart during Mother’s Day last year were cakes and pastries, flower bouquets, and home and kitchen appliances. Chocolate, ube, and fresh fruit reigned supreme as the top preferred cake flavors^[6].

Truly, with reliable and convenient on-demand delivery services like GrabFood and GrabMart, gifts no longer come with the usual long queues, heavy traffic, and aisle-to-aisle exploration in-store. 

“Mother’s Day remains to be one of the most important gifting occasions in Southeast Asia. Our GrabAds report shows a surge in user activity one week before the day itself, across the region, as people start looking for ways to make this day extra special for their loved ones," said Jennie Johnson, Head of Regional Marketing, GrabAds. “This Mother’s Day, merchants and brands across the region have the opportunity to connect with consumers looking for the perfect gift for their mom via superapps like Grab”

Creating a special Mother’s Day celebration should be easy and hassle-free –  and Grab makes sure of this. With the wide merchant selection and reliable on-demand delivery services of both GrabFood and GrabMart, you can easily pick and order mom’s faves for an intimate family dinner; or even include special add-ons just to express how much you treasure her.

Make Mama Feel Extra Special with These Five Gift Ideas

Moms hold things together like buttons do. They possess great power that comes from being mothers. From preparing our meals to keeping the house clean and watching our every move, she can do it all at once. We may regard her as strong and independent, but we should also listen to her unsaid needs. As Uncle Ben famously told Peter Parker, "With great power comes great responsibility," and every superhero needs a sidekick. Here are five (5) CHERRY products that can be an ally to help supermoms fulfill their duties, whether they work outside the home or stay at home with their children. These devices can bring different extra super powers for safety, cleaning and cooking.

Supermom Power #1: Hawk Eye

Every parent wants the best for their family, and these days, best translates to "the smartest." The Internet of Things (IoT) has helped homemakers enhance home security and efficiency through devices with sensors and internet connectivity, such as smart security cameras that collect valuable information. You can remotely monitor the doors and make sure the kids arrive home safely. With these smart cameras, mom doesn’t have to sleep with one eye open.

We can't always be at our door checking things out, but with Cherry Smart Video Doorbell, it enables you to see and hear who is outside through a two-way communication system and a 1080p 140-degree wide camera that allows you to take screenshots and record videos. It is now possible to attend with whoever is ringing your chime, whether you are at work, shopping, or simply cozily tucked under the covers. Get this for ₱3,250.

Need a little help in order to keep an eye on what is going on in your baby's room? The Cherry Smart Baby Camera has a sharp and clear Full 1080P Full HD video quality. Let its motion detection feature do its work as you catch up on your sleep. In addition, it offers two-way audio to help parents who are going back to work avoid the dreaded separation anxiety. It also has the capacity to record continuously, so even if you have to leave the house every day, nothing is actually missed. Get this now for ₱1,405.

Keep an eye out for both indoor and outdoor. Cherry Smart Bullet S2 Camera features 3MP video quality and a wide viewing angle with a 2.4 GHz Wi-Fi wireless connection. In addition, it supports two-way audio, 24/7 video recording, and Tuya cloud storage for motion-detected recordings. It is also flexible to install with wall screws. Cap this additional eye for mom at ₱1,610.

With the Cherry Home app, which can be downloaded for FREE from the Google Play Store and the App Store, you can effortlessly control and monitor all of these cameras on your smartphone.

Supermom Power #2: Dirt Drift

Talk about time and energy savings. There is undoubtedly technology that can outsmart mom’s daily to-do list of cleaning chores. Cherry Smart Movasweep Robotic Vacuum has Intelligent Mapping Technology; it can recall the layout of your room and even your entire home. Mom can now sit back, relax, and have a cup of coffee while the Cherry Home Smart Movasweep Robotic Vacuum does its magic. Just download the Cherry Home App on your smartphone to take control at the tip of your finger. With a suction power of up to 2600 Pa, it is more effective in more ways than you might think. It automatically increases its suction when it notices a location with more dirt.

When you have a reliable cleaning robot, you never have to worry about missing a mess. Give mom a useful present, bring home Cherry Home Smart Movasweep Robotic Vacuum for ₱13,900.

Supermom Power #5: Food Explode

Any meal you want, name it, because the Cherry 8-in-1 Air Fryer makes food preparation quick and easy. It has eight cooking functions for different types of cooking, namely: roast, pizza, cookies, warm, bake, broil, air fry, and toast. Even if mommy is in a hurry, this air fryer will help her combat fat and oil by up to 80 percent. Surely it can help the family consume fewer fatty foods.

Cherry 8-in-1 Air Fryer also comes with a 60-minute timer, 30 to 230 degrees temperature setting, air fry basket, baking pan, and oven rack. It has 25 Liters capacity and comes with overheating protection.

This versatile and reliable companion is a time and space saver. Indeed, a nice gift for mom at a price of ₱8,800.

Superheroes aren't all suited and booted; sometimes they wear an apron, and we regard them as our moms. Her selflessness, bravery, and boundless compassion are personified. She is like an avenger running towards challenges, protecting the family at all costs.

Migrant Workers Wish Mother’s Day was Celebrated on Same Day Globally

A new survey from WorldRemit, a leading digital remittances company within the Zepz Group, has found that 44 percent of migrant workers wish that Mother’s Day was celebrated on the same day around the world—pointing to the cultural difficulties faced by those who live in a different country to their mother.

Mother’s Day is celebrated on different dates across the world, ranging from the second Sunday of February in Norway, to the 14th of May in the Philippines and even to the 15th of October in Malawi.

The multi-country survey was conducted in February with 3,000 participants to understand how migrants celebrate their relationship with their mothers.

Multiple Mother’s Days

Mother’s Day is celebrated on different dates across the world. The most popular dates being the second Sunday in May (such as in the United States of America, Australia, and Philippines) and the fourth week of Lent in March (such as in the United Kingdom and Nigeria).

The survey found that while 95 percent of respondents celebrate Mother’s Day, nearly a quarter (23 percent) agree that it is easy to forget when Mother’s Day is celebrated in their family’s country of origin.

While the majority of respondents (44%) celebrate Mother’s Day on the day their  country of residence celebrates, over a third (35%) of respondents noted that they celebrate Mother’s Day twice a year; recognising the celebratory date in their family’s country of origin, in addition to the country they currently reside in.

44% of respondents agree that they wish that Mother’s Day was celebrated on the same day around the world.

The Impact of Mothers

Mothers and mother figures play a significant role in many people’s lives. Often, they act as a confidante, advisor, friend, and caretaker in one. When asked to describe their mother in three words, top responses from participants included “trustworthy,” “devoted,” “strong,” and “selfless.”

WorldRemit’s survey found that 97% of respondents agree that their mother has been influential in shaping them as a person. In addition, 97% of respondents agree that their mother had helped them to get to where they are in their lives currently. Finally, 96% of respondents agree that their mother supports them in their life choices.

Gifting on Mother’s Day

According to the WorldRemit survey, the most popular way to celebrate Mother’s Day is by sending a gift, which is how 72 percent of respondents would mark the day. Other popular celebrations include eating out and visiting family.

Flowers were revealed as the most popular gift choice, with 63 percent citing that they planned on giving them on Mother’s Day. On the more practical side, 57 percent of participants said that they would send their mother money instead.

This Mother’s Day, WorldRemit encourages all migrant workers across the globe to celebrate their mothers or mother figures—be it through a small gift or a written note of appreciation to say “thank you.”

Methodology

International money senders aged 18 and above voluntarily responded to a 22 question survey in February about the role of their mother in their lives and their remittance behaviors.

The survey took place on the Attest platform and resulted in 3,000 responses from people who celebrate Mother’s Day in the United Kingdom, Australia, Canada, and the United States of America. Those who responded that they do not celebrate Mother’s Day were exited from the survey to create a viable participant base.

No quotas (e.g. gender, age) were set for this survey so results are not intended to be nationally representative.
