Morning!
Today….
It's Valentine's Day!
And for every other marketer online out there, that means…it's time to
SELL SELL SELL ANYTHING VALENTINE'S DAY SPECIFIC!
But not me. 🙂
Nope, diehard romantic and rainbow unicorn loving woman that I am, I instead want to give you the best Valentine's Gift idea you can imagine.
But before I do that, let me set the mood, might I?
First….watch this.
Aren't those videos grand? 🙂
So now that the mood is set, let me completely….uttterly…..
Demolish it.
Actually….."demolish" is the wrong word.
Let me instead….
Open your eyes to *another* idea about Valentine's day.
Ready?
Alrighty! And here it goes.
Sure, it's great when the heavens align, and you're on the same page with the person you love, and life is all sparkly angelic teddy bears that flutter their silvery wings in the grassy meadows of undying love.

But….
What if….
The one you love doesn't know how to express their love?
Or perhaps…
What if….
You love someone deeply as a friend and want to communicate how truly treasured they are?
Or even….
What if…
You're gosh darned sick and tired of the typical artificial romance that Valentines Day exudes…and want to do something completely unexpected yet utterly heartfelt and guaranteed to make a wonderful impression?
In other words…
What if you want to make it clearer than a brilliantly cut diamond that your loved one, soul-mate, soul-friend, etc., is cherished…always and forever?
So glad you asked!
Follow these steps…and let me know how they work out.
Step 1). Determine what will be the final Valentine's Day surprise.
Yes, this is a multi-step process. 🙂
Step 2). Send a text to your loved one that says:
Quick! Look up!
That's all.
Step 3). 5 minutes later, send other text to your loved one that says:
Didja see it? Didja? Didja?
And yes, that's all too.
Step 4). Two hours later, send this text:
Quick! Look to your left!
Yep.
That's it. 🙂
Step 5).
An hour and a half later, send this text:
Incoming! Look to your right!!
Admit it, you're getting intrigued. 🙂
And yes, that's all as well.
Step 6-N). Rinse and repeat the above steps as much as you'd like.
Obviously, the purpose here is you're intriguing the person you love and care about.
oOo….mystery you're creating!
Step N+1). Finally reveal to your loved one….just what all those text messages *really* meant.
You know what they were referring to?
They were referring to….
UIFHs!
In other words,
Unidentified Invisible Flying Hugs!
In even more other words….
Even though you were separated from the person you love, you wanted them to know that you were mentally sending big huge bunches of good thoughts and hugs.
And the best part of the above idea is…..
It can be sent to soul friends as well as real-life lovers.
You can add your own embellishments, of course…your last text message could be:
- Meet me at XYZ and I'll reveal the mystery!
- Can't wait to see you so you can open my gift for you that holds the answer to the mystery
Or even:
- Hey, check out my blog – you'll find the answer to your questions right now!
In other words, you can craft a blog post that expresses your love and heart-felt emotions for the person who was the lucky recipient of your texts.
If that isn't warm and fuzzy, I don't know what is! 🙂
It's free, it's heart-felt, it lets your Valentine know you're constantly thinking of him or her….
It's just plain *great*.
In closing, Valentine's Day is not:
Just for spouses…
Just for boyfriends and girlfriends…
Just for family...
It's also for the people who touch your heart and make you thankful to the Universe that they are in your life.
And if that's not splendiforous, I honestly don't know what is. 🙂
Happy Valentine's Day to you and yours… may you find it cloaked in rainbows…and replete with love.
Grow strong,
Barbara Ling
