We’re less than a week away from Valentine’s Day so hearts, love poems, and the color pink are flooding all corners of the web.

Most folks will be busy writing romantic notes, taking special holidays, and declaring their love to their significant others. But, the celebration of love and friendship also provides a great opportunity for affiliates to boost their ROI, even if their vertical isn’t the most romantic.

Although some industries will find it easier than others, preparing a Valentine’s strategy will allow affiliates to take advantage of all the passion in the online world. That said, even organizations that operate in non-romantic industries can get a huge boost from the right approach to the Feast of Saint Valentine.

Let’s take a look at some tips and ad templates that help you build a winning Valentine’s Day strategy for software, gambling, and other non-romantic verticals.

Why is Valentine’s Day a Valuable Opportunity for Any Industry?

The Feast of Saint Valentine is celebrated by 53% of people in the US and that number alone represents more than 70 million folks. What’s more, projections suggest that the average person will spend a whopping $221 on gifts in 2019, which should amount to more than $30 billion in total collective spending.

After analyzing these statistics, it’s clear that Valentine’s Day poses a great opportunity for all companies. Even people that don’t celebrate this holiday will receive an estimated $9.5 billion in gifts, so there is no reason why you can’t take advantage of this passion-fueled occasion as well!

Non-Romantic Industries that Can Still Get Some Lovin’

It’s no secret that Valentine’s Day has always benefited some industries more than others. Travel, leisure, and retail are always among the leading verticals, but pretty much all affiliates can win during the festive season and get a hefty traffic boost.

Examples of non-romantic industries that can benefit from this holiday include, but are not limited to:

Software and utilities
Gaming and entertainment
Currency and stock exchange
Financial services and loan providers
Gambling and casinos

Even if you operate in one of the verticals above, you can still create a Valentine’s Day strategy that allows you to benefit from it. There’s no need for a seasonal promotion; you can simply take something you’ve already tried and add a bit of Valentine’s flavor to the mix.

Hmm, but what about the ad format?

Without a doubt, the winning ad format for Valentine’s Day is Push.

Why?

It proved to be the best, when it comes to event-targeting strategies. Sporting events, sales, and big international holidays like New Year, Christmas, and (ta-da) Valentine’s Day are boosting engagement through the roof.

And where are the biggest Push traffic volumes for all these offers?

Yes, you got it right – in PropellerAds!

And what’s even better – you can fine-tune your targeting settings; you’ll be surprised to see how highly-specific our targeting features are.

And now, when you know, where to find awesome Push traffic, let’s get back to business.
