Valentine's Day Offers & Relevant Merchants
We are just weeks away from Valentine's Day and the first date in 2010's marketing calendar which can really ramp up your revenues and we are here to help you make the most of it.
Did you know that in the Middle Ages, there was a belief that the first unmarried person of the opposite sex you met on the morning of St. Valentine's Day would become your spouse? Well we've moved on a little from then and Valentine's Day now represents a spike in the retail calendar and is worth approximately £2.4 billion to the sector, with 42% of the population spending money on their Valentine.
Many of our merchants provide an opportunity to promote the perfect gifts for Valentine's Day from Flowers, Jewellery, Lingerie and Weekends Away to perfect gifts for Gym Bunnies, Handbag Lovers and Homebodies.
Login to see a full list of merchants that you can promote for Valentine's Day.
We have also started to pull together some featured offers from LinkShare advertisers specifically for Valentine's Day. Come back and check this page often as we'll be adding new information as we receive updated offers from Advertisers.
