Happy Valentine’s Day…. I hope you are loving your social media today 
I found this infographic from Antavo, which I thought would make a perfect post for today. This shows how as a marketer you can cash in on Valentine’s day (probably a bit late for this year, but maybe next?). Basically you can see that it is probably worth promoting and selling your product and services to people on this day.
Here is what American’s will be spending their money on where love is concerned,
- 65% on greeting cards
- 44% on date night
- 38% on candy
- 32% on flowers
- 19% on gift cards
They will spend their money on not just lovers, friends, pets, classmates and coworkers.
Also here are some valentine social media icons to get your love on today.
I’d love to hear if you have a great valentine story – tell me in the comments….
Hi Lara,
I love the way this infographic presents the Valentine’s ideas and the “thinking outside the box” examples for less obvious business promotions. I would absolutely encourage businesses to begin planning their promotions prior to February as this maximises the length and value of their efforts. It also means business owners are less likely to miss opportunities during a last minute rush.
Cheers, Caylie
Thanks Callie,
Yes, businesses definitely need to plan prior to events to get the best results
