Campaign Map
Timeline:

Flash Campaign Type
Market flash campaign with specific date.
Key Advantage: Urgency plays in our favor.
Communication and Angles
Combine emotion, emojis, and Valentine’s Day discounts in your messaging.
Examples:
- "Imagine her reaction... ❤️Get the perfect gift now. Up to 70% OFF this week!"
- "Imagine her reaction... ❤️ -30% OFF Valentine’s Jewelry."
- "Show her your love ❤️ Valentine’s Offer -50% for a limited time."
- "The Perfect Gift ❤️ (Product) up to 40% OFF."
- “Valentine’s Day Gift ❤️🩹 (Product) up to 40% OFF."
Mention shipping conditions etc. as much as you can, it’s a relevant thing when we talk about gifting.
Creative Angle Inspiration
Some brands that don’t do gifting, use the angle:
“Celebrate Valentine’s Day…”
For Cosmetics:
"Be Your Own Valentine: Self-Care…"
"Be Your Own Valentine 💖 Indulge in self-love this season."
"Celebrate YOU this Valentine’s 💕 Stunning looks for every occasion."
"Treat yourself to something sweet 🍫 Valentine’s indulgence starts here."
"Romantic? Maybe. Practical? Absolutely. [Product] at 30% off."

Your Personal Cases and Q&A
Q: If Valentine’s campaign starts on Jan 15th, when to activate the RET Reach?
- Start it on the 15th
Post ID: No idea, but the engagement on the reach campaign is low
*REACH Campaign: limit the placements where it delivers the ad to “Stories”, “Reels” and as extra “IG/FB Feed”
