Make an emotional connection
It’s powerful to reach out and tug at those heartstrings. Remember when he taught you how to ride a bike or skate? How about all those time he showed up to watch you play basketball or hockey?
Remind your subscribers that they have a powerful history and fond memories shared with their fathers. Maybe it’s time to rekindle those times together with a new bike or sports equipment for example. Focusing on time spent together in the past can lead to meaningful current and future connection. Provide your contacts with a well thought out and relevant offer that helps recognize the value of a father’s role and can lead to new memories!
Provide an experience
If you can, consider offering your contacts a gift that is not just material, but an experience. Maybe you have a chance to have an actual event that you can invite people to for example. Or you might consider partnering with another service or product that allows you to showcase your business and create a meaningful destination for anyone looking to spend time with their dad right on father’s day.
Provide a gift guide and use humor
You might have had to listen to a few bad “dad jokes” throughout the years, but it’s worth it, right? You know that including a bit of humor in your email campaigns whether they are directed at fathers or at your general subscribers is going to be a positive way to get your message across.
While you’re crafting a funny template, you can also easily construct a clickable gift guide that inspires your contacts with all kinds of unique ideas. Every dad is a bit different and this way your subscribers will feel like they’ve got some fresh ideas for the man who might just have everything.
Send more than one campaign
You’ll want to get your email campaigns started now if you haven’t already. You can catch the early birds and later reach out to those who wait until the last minute to make any choices about what they’ll do to recognize father’s day 2018.
