Valentine's Day, A Marketer's Haven.

Valentine's Day... A holiday exploited by corporations. Valentines Day makes even those without significant others feel obligated to take part in the festivities. Valentine's Day was established 496 AD by Pope Gelasius. I really would love to blame corporations for this horrible day, but I guess we have Pope Gelasius to thank. 


The good thing about Valentine's is that some corporations develop advertisements that capitalize on this day. Take Thrifty for example, or Absolut Vodka. Enjoy.

 

Target launches an affordable Valentine's collection to appeal to price sensitive consumers, whom have either just met their Valentine's date, or want to maximize the dollars they spend. Genius.
