Three top retailers share their Valentine’s Day ideas

Retailers across the country have been driving sales with their Valentine’s Day ideas for seasonal displays and promotions. Here is some inspiration for your store:

Chris and Phil Shelley of Shelley’s Budgens in Horsham created a display with boxed chocolates and sweets, while Sue Preston of Spar Oswaldtwistle in Lancashire promoted a two-for-£12 mix and match offer on Valentine’s Day gifts.

“We always get behind seasonal events and this time of year we do big displays around Pancake Day, Mother’s Day, Valentine’s Day and Easter.

“We put them just inside the door to grab customers’ attention when they walk in,” she added.

Janette Tucker of Lifestyle Express in Winscombe, Somerset said she had raised more than £300 for Kidney Research UK and Winscombe Primary School with a Valentine’s Day raffle.
