Father’s Day is a day where families appreciate their fathers who play an important role in their lives, emotionally, mentally, and morally. This day acknowledges the contribution of fathers to their own families and society. While most of the kids have a closer bond with their mothers, this day helps forge a closer relationship with their dads, and sometimes with that in mind, buying a gift for them is a way to express feelings. In this sense, we were curious about consumer behavior in preparation for Father’s Day and asked our audiences these questions; are there any changes in their habits compared to last year in their purchasing intentions, and how do mobile ads impact their shopping priorities?
