Love is always a big business, and Valentine’s Day the best opportunity to launch original ideas taking advantage of this trend. Various studies in recent years many couples will spend between 100 and 200 euros to celebrate this day, although it is clear that the figure is probably much reduced by the crisis. Today we will give some ideas to use today.
Romantic pictures
If you have a business open to the public, you can hire a photographer (not expensive), put a fun background and offer your customers take a romantic picture. You can charge a small fee or free to do (such as advertising strategy). Once the photo is emailed to the customer, an effective way to make a small database. If you want to save the photographer, you can do yourself.
Contest
Another economic strategy is to introduce you to organize a little contest theme. You can propose to write a poem, or to make a romantic picture. Contestants must send your creation by email with your information. Again you have a contact base for little money, costing you the prize for the winner.
Flowers
It is the great classic of the day. Why not take advantage and make a deal with a florist to make some beautiful bouquets and economic and sell in your store? Depending on your activity routine customer decides that interests you. For example, many teenagers without much money would be delighted to find a pretty bouquet, simple and economical for the day.
Chocolates
Another great classic, and very popular in winter, especially when it’s so cold this year. You can follow the same strategy as for the flowers: looking for a handmade chocolate and a box bets elegant and economical, for those who do not want to give away for the umpteenth time Ferrero and Nestlé.
Accessories for him or her
Necklaces, earrings, bracelets, stuffed animals, many gifts you can sell to this date. I insist on the same strategy as before: find traditional manufacturers to offer a different product and divide up the profits. Because if you distribute brand-name products, is likely to do little room and do not buy because they are not original.
Romantic dinners
Own a restaurant? Take the opportunity and make a special Valentine menu. Dare dishes known as aphrodisiacs, give the local a romantic on a budget (four decorative things, some flowers, get some candles to light and may be sufficient). And if you have a restaurant, why not sell an all-inclusive Valentine decorating the facility?
Romantic nights
Do you have a hotel? Make an offer Valentine. Petals on the bed, a box of chocolates and champagne attractive prices may be sufficient to give the distinctive touch and attract customers.
Pack home
It is an idea proposed last year. I remember because it fits completely with the theme: it is to sell a romantic catering service at home. Instead of going to a hotel or restaurant allows customers to transform your home into a love nest, with traditional candles, rose petals, champagne, chocolates.
Romantic Movies
There are few independent cinemas, but an interesting idea is to mount a Valentine’s night with a marathon of romantic movies: Pretty Woman, Love Actually, etc. Ending the last American production to come out for these dates. In addition to the entrance you can sell accessories.
Distance love
Many couples are separated by many miles, and may be the opportunity to design a special service for them. For example make videos to send semi email, personalized gifts, or even crazy ideas a little like serving dinner at the same two people that everyone can eat the same while talking on WebCam.
Personalized Poems
Have a knack for writing? Take advantage of it and write poems for people who have no inspiration. They tell you some facts about the beloved, you are composing a poem and this way you earn a few dollars without much effort.
Special Offers
Even if your business has nothing to do with the theme of love, you can take advantage of Valentine’s Day for promotions, as promotions are Christmas or summer. You can modify a little your site, make a poster, but ultimately only you can know if it’s worth playing the card, Valentine or if more harm than good.
Serenades
It is much more common in Latin America, but here is prickly pears can be perfectly hire to sing traditional songs of love. Why not take the opportunity to create a mariachi band? Well organized, in one night can make enough money. And if the concept works on Valentine’s Day, you can continue with the idea in the past, as a service more romantic.
