Romance

It doesn’t need to be said that romance will be in the air for Valentine’s Day. You can benefit from this by hosting a very cozy event which screams romance. Ideas can range from renting out a large space for a dating event to promoting private dinners which you raffle off.  The goal is to get your customers aware and excited to be a part of your invitation list. If you own a restaurant, you are perfectly situated to host a special breakfast, lunch, or dinner. For other companies, it may be a little more difficult to figure out how to best organize your activities. Be creative and remember that your customers will appreciate any efforts that you employ to ensure that they have a great time.

Decorate Your Space

You have to be sure that your clients not only know that it’s Valentine’s Day but that they also “feel” like it’s Valentine’s Day. You may want to skip the traditional pink and red decorations and do something that feels more mature and unique. You can use this opportunity to go all out and incorporate ideas such as ice sculptures, fountains, fondue, and hired staff dressed as cupids. There are dancing games and games which require a little bit of skill and creativity. Any combination of these ideas should be a crowd pleaser. In addition to making sure that you have all of the right decorations, the food and drinks are equally as important to your party. There are many different types of hors d’ oeuvres to choose from as well as special drink mixes.  Take the opportunity to serve items which are guest favorites but also introduce something exotic to help your guests mingle.

Advertise

You can use the funding from a merchant cash advance to begin advertising for your Valentine’s Day bash far in advance. Find a local printer with whom you can build a great relationship and create a flyer with their expertise. Make sure that it is bright and eye catching and distribute it in your community. Also, place a few at your counters to give yourself a dialogue with your customers. Request that your clients sign up on your email list to receive information about this promotion as well as future ones including discounts.

Create an Extra Special Package

In addition to taking care of all of the essential elements like decorating and advertising for your special event, you can take it a bit further. Create one extra special Valentine’s Day package such as dinner for two on a boat, or a hotel package for two at a high end hotel. The more special the event is, the bigger buzz that it will create. You can raise money by raffling it off to the highest bidder and donate the proceeds to a local charity. It will create goodwill for your company within your community and with your customers.
