AutoShopOwner - Automotive Management Network: Valentine’s Day Marketing Tip! - AutoShopOwner - Automotive Management Network

I went to the dollar store and bought a few dozen small heart shape boxes of chocolates. I started giving them out to customers today who were in for service, for Valentine’s Day. What a hit, especially with the women. They loved it!

If there is a dollar store near you, I recommend doing it.

Giving away chocolate hearts for Valentines was such a big hit, I plan to do something at every holiday. The dollar store had small boxes of chocolates for a buck a piece! I bought a few dozen, not a huge investment, but what an impact on the ladies! (And men too)

In the past, I only had give-aways for Christmas. This was unexpected, that’s what made it special.

Next holiday is St. Patrick’s Day.
