Valentine's Day for Marketers - [Infographics]

Marketers love the day of love, since it’s an opportunity to drive sales and to engage customers. Read these materialistic tips and tricks for inspiration.

 

Valentine’s Day is a good opportunity to drive sales and to engage customers. However it’s barely easy to find out how to take advantage of the day of love, and how to start thinking about it.

 

$$ Cash in $$

According to the National Retail Federation of the USA people spend not only on the significant other, but also on friends, pets, coworkers and classmates. Plus it's also interesting to know that men spend $158 at the occasion while women spend around $75. No doubt, small value products and services have an advantage!

 

But not only gift and flower shops can be happy for the occasion.

 

Unsexy brands may also try to run a V-day promo, but e.g. a windows retailer definitely needs to think hard when crafting the marketing tagline. “Have better windows and keep the sound of love inside the flat!” – What about his one? Sexy enough to catch the attention?
