Advertising That Captures Demand, Not Attention

First move: Set the offer, the window and the redemption tracking before launch.
Valentine's Day questions
When should I start work for Valentine's Day?+
Send the pitch by Mid Jan. Start two to three weeks before that to pull the data, write it up and publish the page the link points at. The moment itself lands on 14 Feb (fixed), by which point the work is already out.
Which service leads Valentine's Day?+
Advertising That Captures Demand, Not Attention leads it. Buys reach on the days demand is already there, so the moment is not left to organic timing. Paid runs in the window, then stops. The rest of the services on this page handle the follow-through once attention arrives.
Is Valentine's Day worth it for my business?+
It fits retail, dating, florists, hospitality. If you cannot bring a number from your own records to the angle, skip the date and pick one you can speak to honestly. A date with no data behind it does not earn coverage.
What does running this cost?+
Every service is $500 a month a la carte, so a moment run with three services is $1,500 a month while it is live. Packages start at $1,500 a month for Lite.
