5 WAY S TO C A P I TA L I S E ON VALENTINES In the absence of any lockdown relaxation from the Government, it looks like this year millions of us will be spending Valentine’s together at home or distanced away from loved ones. If you’re not already capitalising on Valentine’s Day, then you are truly missing out. The estimated annual consumer spend tops £650 million! Whether your customers are honouring the tradition of expressing love through a box of chocolates or sending friends a ‘Galentine’s day’ gift, our packaging range is designed to inspire gifting and unite everyone from love birds to loved ones. As Valentine’s grows more commercialised, retailers are learning that the day is for more than lovers. There is a rising trend in Galentine’s and Singles Awareness, so any retailer hoping to capitalise on Valentine’s Day should be thinking about how best to obtain this audience too. 1. Get Online More than ever, people will be heading online to purchase their Valentine’s gifts. With only essential shops currently open, why not capitalise on all these purchases and set up your business online? 2. Offer Little Extras From gift wrapping to handwritten cards, this will be an easy uplift if you already have access to wrapping, ribbons or gift cards. Offering these extras as an added cost for time-strapped customers is a trouble-free way to boost the average order value and your profit margins! 3. Choose a Theme We understand you may have specific brand colours that you stick to year round, but why not view our Valentine’s collection to add a bit of romance to your packaging. As we offer a low minimum order quantity, this allows you to purchase seasonally themed packaging without the worry of having too much stock left for the rest of the year. 4. Focus on Local 82% of shoppers conduct ‘near me’ searches for products and services located nearby. Why not capitalise on those conducting last-minute searches for gifts online or offer local drop-offs on scheduled days?
5. Mix it up with Hampers To receive a beautifully curated box of goodies is always a treat! Why not offer a range of pre-curated gift boxes or hampers to suit a range of budgets.
