The Power of Love and of Local Influencers
When you think of Valentine’s Day, you probably think of flowers, chocolate, and maybe even jewelry. But Valentine’s Day is not just for lovebirds. In fact, quite a lot of people also buy gifts for their parents, their children, their friends, even for their pets. So if your business doesn’t have anything to do with the above, no need to worry. These are not the only products that thrive during this season.
Step 1. Choose your product and make it lovely
Whether you own a family restaurant, a coffee shop, a winery, an online shop, a beauty salon and the list goes on, the opportunities for your brand to capitalize on this holiday are literally endless. All you have to do is choose the products or services that fit the season best and let local influencers spread the love. Jewelry, wine, chocolate, flowers, lingerie, electronics, books, coupons or bookings for premium services… practically anything goes. But in the remote possibility you don’t have any product or service that would particularly say I love you, go creative, style your product and your business right from the heart and make it lovely.
Step 2. Create your brief for local influencers
Now that you chose the product most dear to you, it’s time to write down how you want local influencers to promote it. Think social media platforms, depending on the demographics of your customers. For instance, if you’re targeting millennials, Instagram is the place to go, while Gen Z is 90% on TikTok.
Also consider how you want the content creators to deliver your message – photo or video content, posts, stories, or reels… it’s basically up to you. Describe your product or service in detail, including images and examples. If you want them to include something specific in their stories or posts, such as a link to your website or a hashtag, make sure you also specify this.

Step 3. Select your favourite local influencers
The brief we just mentioned will help you find the perfect local influencers to promote your business. Once you define the brief, you can set the minimum number of followers for local influencers, their location, gender, age and interests, select among the ones that apply to your offer or campaign and see the results of their posts, stories, or reels.
Now that you know how to use local influencers to promote your business this Valentine’s Day, don’t hesitate to bring out your most romantic side.
