Valentine Day SMS, With barely 24 hours to go for Valentine’s Day, are you stuck trying to think up innovative ways to express your love towards your beloved? Worry not, help’s at hand.

Apart from the usual cards, roses and chocolates, put your smart phone to good use and send your loved one some soft, romantic SMSes. But space them apart so that he or she gets the messages through the day and not one immediately after the other.

If you can’t think of any mushy messages to send, there is a wonderful collection of Valentine’s Day messages available that will help you express your feelings to your loved one in a personal way. Sample this:

“If you are cold at night,
let the promise of my love
cover you like a
warm blanket”

Your messages need not be full of romance, sometimes, a little humour and cuteness also does wonders. Here’s another masterpiece: “We are all a little weird and life’s a little weird, and when we find someone whose weirdness is compatible with ours, we join up with them and fall in mutual weirdness and call it love.”

So, before the day dawns, arm yourself with such messages (save them in your drafts box) and send them out, let’s say one message per hour. Make your loved one feel truly loved and truly special.

Other than SMSes, poetry does wonders. But if your poetry is limited to “Roses are red…” or maybe “Twinkle, twinkle, little star”, get your phone an instant poetry application, choose a theme like “love” or “passion” and send your loved one that poem which you think best describes your love for him/her amd win some instant brownie points.

If you use your smartphone smartly, you can download a whole lot of applications that will help you win over the heart of your loved one.

Valentine’s Day Greeting Cards, The more than 100 Nestle Toll House Cafe by Chip franchises have been ready for Valentine’s Day for at least a month.

“This is a big day for us — huge day,” says Ziad Dalal, president and founder of the premium dessert concept store and cafe.

“We are all about desserts, so it’s a great opportunity for our business to service our customers with gifting and indulging,” Dalal says. “The nice thing is that you can do it for all [budgets]. You can do a small love note with a cookie and customize it with a decoration on it to your loved one for less than $10 or you can [buy] a full-sheet cookie cake or heart-shaped cookie cake. It’s a beautiful time because it’s a very personalized [holiday that can be] for a loved one or the family.”

As consumer confidence picks up, Zalal is expecting this year’s Valentine’s Day in particular to be very profitable for the cafes, which were created back in 2000 through a co-branding agreement with Nestle.

“Our goal is to be north of a 15% increase for the same holiday. We’re already at 17%,” he says, comparing sales with this period last year.

From restaurants to florists to specialty chocolate shops, Valentine’s Day is a bright spot for small-business coffers even in the dark days of winter.

Small-business owners have even more opportunity to benefit from Valentine’s Day this year. The National Retail Federation expects consumers to spend a whopping $17.6 billion on Valentine’s gifts and activities for friends, family, loved ones, even their pets. According to a January survey, consumers on average will spend $126.03 for the holiday, up 8.5% over last year and the highest amount in the survey’s 10-year history, the NRF says.
