Happy (almost) Father's Day! Is finding a good gift still stuck in your "to-do" list? You're not alone. Through our proprietary data lake, we analysed three years of conversion data to see how last-minute shoppers behave in the final days before Father's Day. The data shows some interesting patterns. 🛡️2023: We saw a major spike in conversion rates two weeks out (+14% vs. week after). Shoppers were playing it safe, wanting to make sure their gifts would arrive on time. 🚨2024: Last-minute deals ruled the day. Conversion rates (+23% vs. the week before) soared the day before Father's Day as retailers scrambled to clear stock with big, last-minute promotions. 🏪2025: This year is (so far) a little different. We are seeing conversion rate spike this week (+27% vs. last week). We predict online sales will slow down as shoppers pivot to in-store options. What approach did your brand take this year? Has it worked? Let us know in the comments!
