Thank you everyone for weighing in and sharing your Valentine's promos. We ultimately went with a dual promotion. People could donate and have a personalized E-Card sent to their loved one on Valentine's Day.
We also did a Kiss or Diss promotion that is going through the end of the month. People can choose to get a Kiss, and we put your special someone's name on a kiss that we posted on different kennels. The Diss was that we would write your 'not-so-special' someone's name in a litter pan.
We did not have as much success as we had thought, but we also were unable to really promote it as much as we would have liked.

I also did the litter bow for V-day. It brought in maybe $50 and got a lot of laughs. I did add a few extra names to make it look good so maybe it will be better next year. Also, fundraising is down overall so it is not surprising.

I decided to do the name in the litter box idea because I thought it was funny and cute. While it got some laughs, it did not bring in any donations and was a total flop :(

Hi everyone!
I was wondering if anyone would be willing to share any successful past Valentine's Day fundraisers/promotions that they have done. Last year, for a donation, individuals could have a custom valentine with a picture of one of our pets sent to their sweetheart. The valentine was sent via email and via text message. We would like to try something different this year.
Any ideas are welcome and I thank you in advance for sharing!
Thanks again,
Stephanie
