Valentine’s Day Social Media Marketing 101

It’s that time of year again! Chubby Cupids with aimed bows flourish and love’s chime resounds throughout the hills. Valentine’s Day is a popular holiday to show love to a romantic partner, but also to others who are cherished; considering the cultural emphasis on giving and showing appreciation, this is the perfect time to tailor your social media marketing to cut yourself a piece of the love pie. Here are some tips for a Valentine’s Day promotion:

• Spread the love by visiting www.facebook.com/abmppage for holiday graphics to share with your e-community.

• If you’ve already shared ABMP’s graphics and want a challenge, visit www.canva.com and make your own graphics. Canva.com has free pre-designed graphics you can customize with your own personalized messaging to relate to your business.

• Print Valentine’s Day gift certificates for your clients to give to loved ones. Visit bit.ly/ABMPGiftCertificates to access this membership benefit. If you’d rather print professionally, use your ABMP member discount with Vistaprint.

• If you are offering a Valentine’s Day special, include information about it on your Facebook page with a code word clients can use to access the discount. This will encourage your followers to stay tuned to your page for exciting updates.
