From Direct to Downright Deranged: Email Subject Line Ideas for Father's Day

It’s almost Father’s Day, that time of year when power tools go on sale and social media posts around the world suddenly feature mugs and mustaches. It’s also when siblings put their collective heads together to find the perfect tie for the man they share half of their DNA with.

For most people, Father’s Day is about remembering the times that dad got you out of sticky situations, from catching you before you hit your head to getting you out of a foreign jail (it’s a long story). For marketers, it’s about coming up with great new ways to engage the men in your life and to encourage the fam to spend dollars on dear ol’ dad. 

Since email remains one of the highest converting marketing tools out there, we’ve written a list of Father’s Day subject lines ranging from sterile to insane to grab Pop’s attention. So, as dad would say, buckle up, grab a beer, and let’s get going.
