May opens with Mother’s Day just about a week out, and the seasonal juggling act between it, wedding season, and graduation continuing.
Star Seller phishing scam confirmed circulating
Following Friday’s alert, several additional sellers reported similar fake “perks activation” messages this week, consistent with the pattern we anticipated given the genuine news coverage the previous week.
Mother’s Day momentum building as expected
Sellers report steady, expected traffic growth heading into the final week before the holiday, consistent with the recipient-first, gift-oriented search behavior we discussed back in April.
Graduation listings gaining early traction
Following our late-April coverage of graduation season, several sellers who published early report encouraging initial engagement, a good confirmation of the early-mover pattern holding true for yet another seasonal category this year.
Wedding season continuing its steady, extended run
No major changes to report here, sellers describe the season continuing at a consistent, manageable pace for those who built solid capacity planning back in March.
What we’re watching
Mother’s Day’s final week, and how the three-way juggling act between it, graduation, and ongoing wedding season plays out as May progresses.
Back next Sunday.
