Father’s Day

Win Dad’s Wishlist!

Sep 2025

Campaign Concept

Theme: “Dad Deserves the Best — And Maybe You Do Too!”
Hook: Create your Father’s Day wishlist from our special collection, and a few lucky shoppers will WIN their wishlist picks — because Dad loves a good deal.

How it Works:

  1. Merchants curate a Father’s Day collection (think tools, gadgets, tees, grooming kits, hobby gear).

  2. Shoppers wishlist items from this collection — their “Father’s Day Picks.”

A few winners are selected randomly — and gifted a few of their wishlist items for free.

Industries Best Suited For

Fashion & Apparel:

Father’s Day is a great opportunity to showcase stylish and classic wardrobe items for dad. Think: shirts, jeans, jackets, watches, and wallets. Encourage shoppers to wishlist these key products as part of their Father’s Day celebration.

Electronics & Gadgets:

Tech gadgets are often a top Father’s Day gift, from headphones and smartwatches to tools and smart home devices. A wishlist-driven campaign for electronics amplifies excitement for high-ticket items, especially those on sale or with special Father’s Day bundles.

Grooming & Skincare:

Personal care products, such as beard oils, shaving kits, and skincare sets, are excellent for Father’s Day campaigns. Highlighting these items through wishlists lets shoppers create the perfect grooming kit tailored to their dad's needs.

Hobbies & Outdoor:

For dads who love to barbecue, camp, or engage in outdoor activities, offering wishlist-worthy items like BBQ kits, camping gear, sports accessories, or fishing rods can boost engagement and bring those seasonal gifts to the forefront.

Home & Furniture:

Comfortable recliners, stylish coffee makers, or well-designed bar tools make for thoughtful Father’s Day gifts. Encourage customers to wishlist these types of home and furniture items as part of their Father’s Day gift guide.

Why This Campaign Could Work

Seasonal Emotional Hook

Father’s Day is a personal, sentimental occasion. Giving shoppers a chance to win wishlist items for dad makes gift shopping fun, meaningful, and rewarding.

Wishlist-Driven Engagement

Surprise & Delight Tactic

A Win Your Wishlist (WYW) moment amps up excitement — and the possibility of getting wishlist picks for free increases participation and drives traffic.

Collection-Specific Focus

By tying wishlists to specially curated Father’s Day collections, you spotlight relevant inventory, promote themed bundles, and move seasonal stock faster.
