House of Handsome – Father’s Day Campaign

Client: Luxury Grooming Brand in BC
Role: Digital Marketing Intern, ABC Digital

The Ask

Increase gift card sales ahead of Father’s Day through a cross-channel campaign that resonates with both romantic partners and adult children, without losing brand sophistication.

The Objective

Drive awareness and sales of Father’s Day gift cards through targeted messaging, emotional creative, and value-based offers across paid, owned, and in-store channels.

The Strategy

We crafted a dual-track campaign designed for two distinct audiences, pairing tailored creative with performance-driven distribution.

Paid Social Ads (Meta Ads Manager)

  • “Spoil Your Man” → romantic visuals targeting partners

  • “Give Your Father a Gift Card” → nostalgic, heartfelt messaging for adult children

  • A/B tested creatives, CTA buttons, and audiences

Email + Organic Social (Mailchimp + Instagram)

  • Personalized emails segmented by audience type

  • Branded Instagram posts, Stories, and Reels to reinforce both narratives

  • Used Canva and Creator Studio to streamline visuals and scheduling

In-Store Activation

  • Dual-themed displays to reflect both ad sets

  • Gift-with-purchase bundle incentive to increase footfall and conversion

Results

  • +60% increase in gift card sales (50/50 split between both ad sets)

  • 22.5% email open rate · 2.1% click-through rate (Mailchimp)

  • In-store staff reported a clear uptick in customers referencing online ads

  • Instagram follower growth + engagement peak during the final campaign week

Key Takeaway

Tailored messaging performs, especially when paired with the right platform, offer, and emotional tone. By combining performance marketing tools with creative that feels personal, we bridged digital and in-store behaviour to drive measurable results.
