150+ Father’s Day subject lines for amazing results

Reading Time: 8 minutes

While Mother’s Day is celebrated in spring with themes of appreciation and love, Father’s Day has a more summer-oriented vibe. This year, it falls on June 16 in the US.

Your Father’s Day subject lines should reflect this seasonal difference. We’ve compiled the 150 highest-performing subject lines to help you out.

Father’s Day gifts often include power tools or gadgets for dads who love to build or tinker. Home & garden and electronic products traditionally do well, but a variety of other items like clothing, grooming products, and pet-related gifts are also popular.

It’s a day for mothers, wives, sisters, and children to find the perfect gift for the important men in their lives. So, take advantage of this special holiday with our curated list of top-performing subject lines.

Top 5 best performing Father’s Day email subject lines

We analyzed more than 10,000 of our bigger brands’ Father’s Day email campaigns to find out what the best, highest-performing subject lines related to Father’s Day are.

When looking at the data, we see that ‘Father’s Day’ as a term performed almost as well as the other regular subject line phrases, which include:

• holiday | sale off | % | free | now | soon | save | don’t miss | last

Since we’re looking specifically at subject lines, we’re focusing mainly on open rates. After all, that’s the main benefit of having appealing subject lines.

#1 “Father’s Day Gift Ideas” Open rate: 32.6%

#2 “Get Father’s Day sorted!” Open rate: 32%

#3 “This Father’s Day, he deserves something special!” Open rate: 31.3%

#4 “Fathers Day Sale, Tons of Movies Restocked” Open rate: 30.3%

#5 “Gemini Jets For Fathers Day!” Open rate: 27.9%

You can quickly see the trend here: highlight the fact that you’re helping people find great gifts for the fathers in their lives.

It’s interesting to note here that 3/5 Father’s Day email subject lines have an exclamation mark included. The Father’s Day subject line #4 was especially successful: with an 11% click rate, the order number was particularly high.

If we imagine a 10,000 subscriber list, that would be 3,003 opens and 1,100 clicks. If even 10% ended up buying something, that would be 110 orders.

Imagining a $50 average order value, that’s $5,500 from just one email sent.

Now that’s what we call a great return on investment.

When you’re creating Father’s Day subject lines, don’t hesitate to try out many different things and see what works.

Not sure which subject line to pick? How about sending out two at the same time?

Omnisend allows online marketers to send emails with A/B testing with two different subject lines. A/B testing allows you to send out two subject lines or two different sender’s names to a small percentage of your recipients so you can see which one worked best.

The one with the highest open rate then gets sent automatically to the rest of your recipients.
