Content Valentine's Day Workshop

  1. Campaign Map

Timeline: 
January 1 - February 14

Be sure to set the cut-off date carefully; I wouldn't risk it.
Suggested cut-off: Monday 10th.

  • January 5 - January 20: Testing Phase
  • January 20 - February 10: Scaling Phase

Sales Peak: February 1 - February 10

  • Spending Predisposition: High
  • Target Audience: Forgetful men who shop last minute

  1. Flash Campaign Type

Market flash campaign with specific date.
Key Advantage: Urgency plays in our favor.

  1. 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."

  1. Flash Campaign Framework (5 phases)

Hype, launch, urgency, extension, branding

  • HYPE:
    Get Ready for Valentine’s Day
    Valentine’s Day Gift Guide


  • Launch:
    IG + Email
    At the same time: Activate Ads Phase 1







Ads Phase 1:

  • RET Reach (5 initial days)
  • RET
  • Advantage+
  • ABO_Testing

Urgency:
Coordinate with the salary
February 1st to February 8-9-10th

Communicate the urgency in as many places as possible, everything counts

Easier, leverage the cut date

"Last chance to make it unforgettable ❤️ Order by February 10th to get it in time for Valentine’s Day!"

"Last chance to make it unforgettable ❤️ Order today to get it in time for Valentine’s Day!"

"Last chance to make it unforgettable ❤️ Order in 5h:10m:23s to get it in time for Valentine’s Day!"

"10 days until Valentine’s! Don’t wait—shop now with express shipping!”

  • EXTENSION
    Doesn’t make sense
  • BRANDING
    Could do something small like,

    Gratitude + Transition to Everyday Love
  • "Valentine's Was Amazing, But Love Deserves Every Day 💕 Discover What’s Next!"
  • "You Rocked Valentine’s! Now It’s Time to Treat Yourself 💝"
  • "Post-Valentine’s Surprise! 🎉 Treat Yourself Today."
  • "Valentine’s Fun Isn’t Over Yet—Discover What’s Next!"

  • 25% new things to try

Remember the Canva library with 500 templates.


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”
