A staggering $820 million is predicted to be spent on Father's Day gifts in Australia this year, with the top categories being alcohol and food, clothing and books. This significant expenditure presents a prime opportunity for businesses to tap into the gift-giving spirit and drive sales.
Research conducted by Zib Digital, a leading digital marketing agency in Melbourne, has uncovered surprising insights into this year's Father's Day gifting habits. Google search trends and TikTok hashtags reveal a focus on experiential gifting, with queries like "Father's Day activities" and “fun things to do with your dad” increasing by 20% year-on-year. This shift towards experience-based gifting presents opportunities for businesses to capitalise on unique experience offerings, such as wine tastings or outdoor adventures.
TikTok's top Father's Day hashtags (including #FathersDay and #HappyFathersDay) showcase moments of family connection, highlighting the importance of authenticity in marketing campaigns. “The emphasis seen on emotional storytelling underscores the need for brands to leverage user-generated content and influencer partnerships to create relatable, feel-good campaigns targeted towards dads or any father figure,” shares a spokesperson from Zib Digital.
The correlation between Google searches and TikTok trends is striking, with search queries for "Father's Day gifts" increasing in tandem with TikTok views for gift-related content. As a trusted Melbourne digital marketing company, Zib Digital emphasises how this relationship underscores the need for a cohesive search and social strategy, ensuring brands are visible and engaging across all platforms.
