Create Valentines-Themed Interactive Apps and Experiences
If you're looking to enhance your customer experience and really boost your engagement, put some fire behind your social media marketing efforts with interactive experiences.
Just think: you can create custom filters and stickers that your audience has a hand in creating-or maybe allow them to devise their own short videos, melodies, creations. Even quizzes. If it gives your audience a chance to interact with you and your brand, they're going to eat it up.
Going all-out on social for Valentines Day can be fun for both you and your audience. All it takes is a lot of love, plenty of creativity and a dash of authenticity.
