For the love for our fathers and fatherly figures out there in the world, let’s look at some great advertising tips to draw consumers into the funnel of branding awareness.
Customer Preferences
In the leap up to Father’s Day, perhaps use this opportunity to appeal to your subscribers by giving them a chance to opt-out of any emails around this event. With emails now becoming a standard operation for Marketers to get the message out there ahead of time, it’s also beneficial for the company’s brand to give those who view this as a sensitive time the option to not receive any further coverage. As we have mentioned before, occasions such as Father’s Day can be a difficult time for some people.

Be Smart, Be Entertaining in Content
All dad jokes aside, email messaging doesn’t always have to be serious when it comes to getting a message out there.

By utilising irony can be a great way to connect with your customers and humanise your brand.
