Valentine's Day Displays for Unromantic Products

The average consumer will spend around P450 on Valentine's Day this year. Candy, cards, jewelry, and flowers are always holiday favorites, but retailers who don't stock those items can still get a piece of Valentine spending. It just takes a little creativity.

No matter what type of products you sell, you can create an attractive display. Certain products will naturally lend themselves to a great display opportunity. If your products from RMD doesn't seem very romantic, don't despair. Try the following when building a Valentine's Day display:

  • Pick out items mostly likely to be given as gifts
  • If possible, choose products with red or pink
  • Place several small items in a gift bag or basket
  • Finish the display with balloons, a box of candy, paper hearts or red ribbons
  • Add signage announcing a Valentine's Day special or reminder of the date

These Valentine's Day merchandising tips can be used by most any retailer, whether you sell school supplies, high-end clothing, novelties or even computer supplies.

If you can't seem to create an interesting Valentine's Day display with the products you sell, try to have eye-catching signage advertising gift cards or gift certificates where available.
