Father’s Day is coming up fast, and whether you manage your own eCommerce promotions or rely on an online marketing agency to handle them for you, there are very real sales opportunities to be had.
Capitalising on those opportunities means really focusing on your business right now, but while that’s a smart commercial move, it might mean you find yourself a little short on time to shop for the perfect gift for your own dad.
To help you look after business and stay in dad’s good books, the team here at Your Online Marketing Agency (YOMA) have put together this selection of Fathers day gift ideas that include something for every kind of dad:
The Laid-Back One
Did you give your dad slippers for Christmas? Then give him sandals for summer?!
Everyone deserves a really comfy pair of shoes and you cannot go wrong with Birkenstocks. Simply Feet stock a selection of colour, size and width options so treat your dad, though brace yourself, he may try and wear them with socks.
The Golfer
If your dad is a keen golfer, then give him a green Callaway Golf X-Series Stretch polo shirt, as worn by this year’s Masters champion, Danny Willet.
It might help him improve his game and if not, he’ll at least look the part on the fairway. Order yours online from Function 18 and it will be delivered anywhere in the UK for free.
The Rebel
Whether your dad’s already a walking work of tattoo art or a blank canvas waiting for the first drop of ink, inspire him to get something new with a tattoo book crammed with creative ideas.
The Tattoo Shop sell a broad selection of books on different themes, including everything from Maori inspired styles and contemporary lettering right through to Old School favourites. Choose one that suits his personality and help him find the perfect tattoo to express it.
The Connoisseur
If your dad appreciates the finer things in life, then splash out and treat him to a new designer watch like this Raymond Weil piece.
OD’s Watches and Jewellery specialise in the finest quality designer brands and you can find a wide selection to suit your dad’s taste (and your budget!) in their online store.
The Playful One
Everyone likes to receive thoughtful gifts but often, what dads really want on Father’s Day is some quality time with their offspring.
Give your dad the best of both worlds by treating him to a new pair of swimming shorts and then taking him for a dip at the local pool to work up an appetite for a family lunch.
Zoggs do a huge range of swimwear and accessories so if he’s well-stocked for shorts, get him a pair of fun flippers instead.
The Gadget Lover
Is it a watch? Is it a health tracker? Is it a social media device? It’s all of those things! This high-tech Garmin Vivoactive Smart GPS Activity Watch from Formby Cycles is absolutely perfect for gadget-loving fitness fanatics.
With Smartphone connectivity, dad can keep in touch with the world at large while tracking the distances travelled and calories burned while running, cycling or swimming.
The Hip One
If your dad is a bit of a hipster, then he’ll love this luxurious Booze and Baccy Beard Oil from The Modern Man.
Designed to hydrate and soften beards and facial skin, it will give your dad’s beard a healthy sheen and a pleasant, manly smell.
The Curry Lover
Don’t give the dad who gets a kick out of curries a takeaway, give him a day out in London at a top L’Atelier des Chefs cookery class so he can learn the art of spicy cuisines for himself.
Classes of 30 to 90 minutes are available but if he’s already a dab hand with Indian spices, sign him up for a patisserie, steak or bread class instead.
The Man Who Has Everything!
Finally, if your father is the sort of chap who seems to have it all or insists that he doesn’t need anything, then give him a card, tuck in some cash and take him shopping!
B&M have an absolutely huge range of items for the home and garden as well as things for sports fans, hobbyists, DIY enthusiasts and those who like a tipple. He could even get himself a traditional pair of Father’s Day socks.
To all of the dads, step-dads and father figures who work here at Yoma or across the UK in various roles with our clients and customers, Happy Father’s Day!
