Mother's Day is a great occasion to hold promotions if you own a store or offer services. Create stories to announce special deals for the occasion.

Set the mood by adding your amazing offers to beautiful motherhood and Mother's Day inspired illustrations. Add creativity with text effects or fun fonts. To make the Instagram story more engaging, ask followers to share, take a screenshot or react to your story before granting the discounts or giving away promotional items.

What is the recommended size for an Instagram story?
The recommended size is 1080 x 1920 pixels which is an aspect ratio of 9 x 16. This size is already set when you select an Instagram Story layout or you may search for Mother's Day templates and then filter for only Instagram stories. If you want to cover all the social media channels and make a Facebook post as well, use the resize option.
How do I make an engaging Instagram story?
Pose a question or add a sticker to get your viewers engaged. Try something like "share a photo of you and your mom, then and now" or "share with us a funny video of your mom". If this seems like a crazy idea, you can make your posts engaging through clever use of colour and animation and this is easy to do in Adobe Express.
What is the best caption for a Mother's Day Instagram story?
You'll see "Happy Mother's Day" on social media posts quite a lot. If you want a caption that stands out more, try "Cheers to all the strong and amazing moms out there” with a photo or illustration or "Mothers are our everyday heroines" against a vibrant background colour.
Can I create my own Instagram story template?
Yes, all projects in Adobe Express can be turned into a template that you can use for another project. To do this, choose the Share option and then Make a Template. Another idea is to make a Mother's Day greeting card using the same graphics.
Can I get Adobe Express for free? If so, what’s included?
