February 14th – does that date ring any bell? of course, it’s Valentine’s Day. And whether you like it or hate it, it’s there every year and millions of people are celebrating it.
So in case if you need some help to prepare something special for someone special on Valentine’s Day – or if you just want to see what others are planning here is a list.
Lets start from the basics: February 14th is Valentine’s Day, so don’t forget (of course there are no objections to celebrate that day every day).
1st Question: Where to look for ideas?
- Groupon/LivingSocial – you can still find some interesting deals for Valentine’s Day
- Twitter/Facebook/Google+ – you can always ask a question all your friends/followers [just make sure your “someone special” is not one of your followers/etc., otherwise just use Direct Message while contacting your friends]
- amazon/e-bay/on-line stores – look for special offers
- Foursquare – check your friends recommendations to find a great place
2nd Question: is there enough time?
- shipping – make sure that it will be on time
if not:
- application – you can always try to search for some cool apps: Cards , iWrite: Love Poems, Creative Romantic Ideas and many more by Apple. Maybe you want to try some apps on Facebook like: Play Cupid by Walgreens, Cupid’s Fondue Forks by The Melting Pot Restaurants, Spread the Love by Starbucks
- …and if there really nothing you can do – I guess flowers + card + big smile can help
- where to get some flowers: FTD, teleflora, 1800flowers, don’t forget about the great local flower shops.
here’s what Starbucks offers it’s customers for Valentine’s Day:
Have a great Valentine’s Day!
That is definitely the way to my heart, Starbucks! All sorts of family and friends get me Starbucks credits/gift cards and they are never unwelcome.
Hope you have a great Valentines Day!
@kittiewalker gift cards are the best, you can get what you really want π
You have a great “real time marketing” topic for this post. π Great work my friend!
@Mattias Gronborg haha, that’s right π – it’s hot topic for very short time but still π
That is just a genis idea, isn’t it? The Starbucks app. I might need to send Valentines all day long this year… π
