Happy (Nearly) Valentines Day!

For all retail, supplier or wholesale businesses, there are plenty of ways you can take advantage of the days prior to and including V-Day. 

No, you don’t have to be a florist or chocolate store to spike sales.

We’re not saying you play Michael Bublé songs in your store, or turn it into the set of Bold & The Beautiful by subtly turning on a smoke machine (any machine can be a smoke machine if you operate it badly enough, we view the glass half full here at Spenda). 

The five-frisky tips below however, are the most common ways businesses have improved sales along with customer and staff experiences leading up to Valentines Day.

Valentines day tips for retailers, wholesalers & suppliers

1)   Create Valentines Day Promotions

• It’s one of the biggest sales opportunities for your customers other than Black Friday and Christmas. BOGO (Buy One Get One Free) offers, percentage-off sales or even temporary free shipping works well to garner attention.  

2)   Make A Frisky V-Day Section Online/In-Store

• If you have inventory associated with V-Day, place them all in the same location. Your customers prefer gifts if they are grouped. While this V-Day set up below at Woolworths looks like something your stalker-ex would create for you, it lures in customers.
