If you want to get people talking this Valentine's Day implement one of these sweet ideas. All of them center on candy conversation hearts and all will help you show your love for...
Your Customers
Get custom personalized messages printed on conversation hearts and send them to your customers with a note. Targeting a potential client? Print, "Call Me" and "Be Mine" on the conversation hearts. Want to impress a long-standing client? Print, "I Will" on the conversation hearts and tell them what you will do for them this year. Trying to get customers to come in and make a purchase? Print, "Sweet Deal" on the conversation hearts and tell them if they bring the candy into your location, they'll get a special offer.
Your Employees
Have a Conversation Heart Slogan-writing Contest. Give each employee a conversation heart cutout. Challenge them to come up with a slogan to write on it that expresses what it is they love so much about their company, or what it is that should make your customers love their company. Award a prize to the employee who writes the most creative slogan.
Yor Friends & Family
Hosting a Valentine's Day party? Give each guest a heart-shaped nametag to wear with a conversation heart slogan printed on it. Also give them a bag of conversation hearts with this same slogan on it. So, if you give a nametag with "Lover Boy" written on it to one person, you would also give that person a bag of conversation hearts with "Lover Boy" written on them. Also give each guest a card with a list of all of the conversation heart slogans people at your party are wearing on their nametags. Ask guests to collect a set of different conversation hearts from different guests at the party. The guest who collects the most different conversation hearts by a set time wins a prize. Or, enter everyone who collects "x" number of different conversation hearts into a prize drawing.
