Father’s Day marketing tips

1. Optimize the store homepage.

Sellers can change their store’s homepage in advance, replace the Father’s Day-related text and pictures, create a warm atmosphere for Father’s Day, and allow consumers to perceive the holiday atmosphere in advance, preheating for Father’s Day marketing activities.

2. Set up limited-time promotions.

Limited-time promotions are common tactics used by sellers in holiday sales to stimulate consumers’ purchasing desires. Sellers can set up a countdown for promotions and use pop-up windows to prompt consumers with information about holiday discounts, free shipping, etc., creating a sense of urgency for promotions and prompting consumers to speed up their purchasing.

3. Launch gift box bundling marketing.

Bundling sales are a marketing strategy to increase the customer unit price on Father’s Day, and gift-boxed products are more suitable for gifting.

Many consumers want to buy gifts for their fathers, but because of their indecisiveness, they don’t know what to buy. Sellers can thoughtfully recommend products to consumers and include a gift box, embodying the ritual of Father’s Day and increasing the unit price of the product.

4. Father’s Day Advertising Placement

1) Incremental period

Facing such heartwarming holidays as Father’s Day, many consumers begin to choose gifts about 15 to 30 days before the holiday. Sellers can seize the opportunity to launch new products in advance.

2) Peak period

As Father’s Day approaches, especially in the 2-3 weeks before the holiday, consumer demand for gifts explodes. Advertisers should open up their budgets and go all out during this time.

3) Final period

As Father’s Day draws to a close, advertising placements should begin to prepare for the end of the sales period. For popular products with good performance, a second round of advertising can be launched.

As a globally recognized male holiday, many consumers will purchase products for themselves during the “Father’s Day Sale” under the discount atmosphere. At that time, sellers should prepare sales plans in advance and purchase new products to respond to the Father’s Day sales promotion. In the process of launching new products, be sure to pay attention to tax compliance to avoid external factors leading to the inability to sell products normally and missing the opportunity to sell products in large quantities.
