Fathers Day 2018:
We went live with Fathers Day Brewquets on the website on 2nd August. Every Fathers Day Brewquet had the Father's Day beer wrap labels included (applied to the bottles before hand in larger batches, then the Brewquets made up).
Original Price point:
Small Fathers Day Brewquet: $44.99 + optional extras
Big Fathers Day Brewquet was $79.99 + optional extras
On the 22nd August this was revised to:
Small Fathers Day Brewquet: $39.99 + optional extras
Big Fathers Day Brewquet was $69.99 + optional extras
Products sold with optional extras of Jerky, Chocolate and Nuts (using the Bold Options App). $10 each or all 3 for $20.
Each label costs $0.56 ex GST.
Mail out to database on 23rd August
Sales really ramped up from the 25th August. From average of 5-10 orders a day to 20 orders a day.
The week just prior to Fathers Day seems to be a key buying period with little early buying occurring.

Fathers Day Home Page On Brewquets
The home page for Father's Day was updated to be more themed Father's Day and provide cues for customers regarding Father's Day gifts.
The attached PowerPoint shows the layout of the home page for Father's Day.
OLD: (allows for compressed file size) The ideal size for the top banner image is 800 x 338
NEW: 1600 x 575 which allows for the image not to be pixelated.
For 2020 the Main Menu on the home page had 🍾 CIDER removed to allow space for Father's Day.
The Birthday Gifts was also reduced to Birthday
And All Occasions was reduced to Occasions
Product Page.
At time of launch the product page is set as per normal with Standard and Express / Preferred Day delivery options available. Within the GiftShip app the 2 days prior to the weekend are blocked out (Thursday and Friday) to limit disappointment for customers. This means they last avaiable selected date is the Wednesday prior to the Father's Day weekend.
If there is stock still available after this time then the product page can be changed around to no longer offer the free standard delivery but to have a 3rd options added as per the picture below. If changing with this format you will also need to change the product template page to be product.nocalendar-HardCodeMSG

Notes that were added to the top of the product description:
LAST MINUTE EXPRESS DELIVERY: The remaining stock is only available via Express Delivery. While this is a faster delivery method we cannot guarantee delivery prior to Father's Day. Please note the following:
Victorian / Other Interstate Addresses: due to Covid-19 restrictions in Victoria and reduced domestic flights to other parts of the country we cannot guarantee delivery prior to Father's Day.
Sydney / NSW addresses (non-regional NSW locations such as Wollongong and Newcastle) are less likely to be impacted as dispatches are from Sydney and Express Delivery during Covid-19 is approximately 1-2 business days.
Please consider the above prior to placing your order.
