Frequently asked questions
Do moms actually want to be called every day?
According to a Pew Research study, 92% of parents say it’s very important to stay in close touch with their adult kids. Another survey by CBS found that 85% of moms want more frequent contact—and many say just a quick check-in text or call would make their day. So yes. Moms want the call. It’s free. Do it.
Are there health benefits?
Glad you asked. Daily connection with a loved one has been linked to reduced stress, better memory, and even lower blood pressure. A 2022 University of Kansas study showed that even brief interactions with close relationships significantly improve well-being. TL;DR: connection is medicine. And calling your mom is a habit with no downside.
What if I don’t have a mom to call?
“Go Call Your Mom” is bigger than biology. It’s about love, care, and connection. Think of it as your “M.O.M.” (My Official Mentor). Maybe it’s your dad. Maybe it’s a grandma, an aunt, an old teacher, or the friend who kept you grounded. Call the person who roots for you. They deserve it. So do you.
is this just emotional manipulation to sell sweatshirts?
First of all, how dare you. Second — a little, yes. But the merchandise is cool, and the message is real. We're trying to build a brand that reminds people to live with more kindness, even if it's just a quick call. If the hoodie sparks that? Worth it.
