Its producers started absorbing new topics and brands wished to come up with more up-to-date messages. However, many of them paid dearly for it.

THE LOVERS’ HOLIDAY IN THE THRALL OF COMMERCE AND CLICHÉS? THE TV ADS THAT CONVINCED US THAT ST. VALENTINE’S DAY IS NOT LOST YET
8. 2. 2022 | 13 min read It is a tradition that 14 February of each year is dedicated to those in love. On the day when we commemorate St. Valentine, we also try to pay tribute to love - ideally, not only in the context of partner relationships. A frequent objection against St. Valentine’s Day celebrations is the excessive commercialisation of the holiday and more or less consumer character it has had for several decades.

Everywhere you look St. Valentine’s Day is not only a holiday of lovers but also a mega-important item that should not be missing in the schedule of any proficient marketer. On that day, consumers are ready and willing to spend their savings. We may even say that after Christmas, it is the first opportunity of such a calibre. And the current pandemic-affected time changes nothing on this fact.
