I know what you’re thinking, “Valentine’s Day is a Hallmark holiday about romance, chocolate bon-bons, and roses not customers and business success!”

Here’s another take: Valentine’s Day is a great way to reflect on the relationships with the most important people in your life and show them a little love, which brings us to your customers.

Aren’t your customer relationships important, and don’t you want every customer to feel loved?

Of course you do, but how can you please everyone?

Even if Valentine’s Day isn’t at the top of your list of holidays to celebrate, you might want to reconsider putting it near the top for the sake of your customers.
