A real video for this kind of businessHow this video was made

For florists, chocolate shops, bakeries, restaurants and gift retailers, Valentine's Day promo videos should explain what is included, when buyers can get it and how to order. Use this checklist, six video ideas and a worked chocolate-shop brief to answer those questions. The six-week schedule is a planning option, not a proven best posting window: shorten it if your range or bookings open later.

Before the heart-box post: confirm what you can fulfil

Complete this before announcing an offer. Use the suggested six-week plan only if you already know what you will sell.

  • Choose a small gift range and write down the contents, price and packaging included in each option.
  • Check your supplier quantities, packing time and available booking or pickup slots before setting a deadline.
  • Separate the last shipping order, local delivery order and store pickup order; confirm service dates with your carrier.
  • Decide how customers place and pay for an order. Test that route yourself before putting it in a caption.
  • Write one offer per video, with a separate gift-guide post if customers need to compare budgets.
  • Choose a friendship or self-care offer only if you can describe a real product or appointment for it.
  • Put current order instructions on the product or booking page and keep your social captions consistent with them.
  • Prepare replacement text for an unavailable item: name the alternative and explain any price or contents change.
  • Give someone responsibility for checking stock and booking availability before scheduled deadline posts go out.
  • After the holiday, record which posts led to enquiries, which enquiries became orders and which questions kept recurring.

From gift selection to the final pickup notice

Treat these as suggested stages. Bring deadline posts forward when production or shipping needs more lead time; skip unavailable offers.

  1. Six weeks out: choose the comparison

    If the range is ready, introduce your gifts with contents and prices. A florist could compare a wrapped bouquet with a vase arrangement, stating whether the vase is included. Use unanswered customer questions for later posts instead of repeating the gift guide.

  2. Four weeks out: answer one buying question

    Give one gift its own video. For chocolates, state the piece count and where to check flavours and ingredients; for a salon voucher, name the service covered. The bakery filming and pre-order guide has a fuller food-business checklist.

  3. Three weeks out: test a friendship offer

    NRF's 2026 US survey reported planned gifts for friends (33%) and pets (35%) (survey release). Treat that as a reason to consider another recipient, not a forecast for your shop. Outside the US, use your own enquiries to choose the angle.

  4. Before orders close: explain the two dates

    Put “Order by…” and “Collect on…” together. Shipping and pickup may need different posts. For restaurants, show the actual seating time and booking route instead of announcing an arbitrary booking deadline.

  5. The final days: publish a checked availability update

    Check what is packed and ready before saying “Available today”. Give the pickup location and closing time in the caption. If a scheduled post no longer matches stock, replace it rather than sending customers to an unavailable offer.

  6. After pickup: keep the useful questions

    Note whether people asked about allergens, delivery areas, vase sizes or booking deposits. Add those answers to next year's offer page. If seasonal stock remains, describe its contents and current price without manufacturing a previous price.

What the buyer needs to know in each Valentine's offer

Choose the row closest to your business. These are prompts for your own offer, not claims about what customers will buy.

Offer gift cards only if you already provide them. Explain how they are delivered and redeemed; do not imply unlimited stock or appointments.
BusinessWhat to show or writeWhat to confirm before posting
FloristBouquet size, stem count, vase inclusion and total priceDelivery area, delivery fee and whether substitutions are possible
Chocolate shop or bakeryPiece count, flavours, box size and gift packagingIngredient information, collection window and production capacity
RestaurantMenu inclusions, price basis and seating timeBooking route, deposit conditions and any dietary requests you can accommodate
Salon or spaThe named service or voucher valueAppointment availability and voucher conditions
Boutique or gift retailerA gift option at each budget, with wrapping shown separatelyActual stock, wrapping charge and shipping deadline
Pet retailer or groomerA named accessory or grooming appointmentAvailable sizes or appointment slots; keep pet offers separate from human food

Six Valentine's posts with a buyer question to answer

Film real goods yourself when appearance matters. For a drawn offer video, use labelled shapes and text; keep your phone recording as a separate post.

  1. A comic-panel gift comparison

    Use a panel per gift: name, contents and price. Let the gift count or vase inclusion do the comparing, rather than decorative hearts covering the information.

    Try this: When your range opens, post “Which box fits your budget?” and end with the order route. The Product hero template (Comic panel version) is a brief-and-storyboard example for this approach.

    Product hero · Comic panel toon

  2. A sharing box for friends

    Show the piece count and flavours rather than promising how many people a box feeds. State whether buyers can split the contents into separate gifts and whether extra packaging costs more.

    Try this: Post before the packing deadline. Try “One box to share; individual bags available” only if you provide those bags, then invite customers to reserve.

  3. The gift available for pickup today

    Show the actual ready-packed stock in your own recording, or use a text notice with a product name and current price. Include the collection window and how customers confirm a reservation.

    Try this: Post after the day's stock check: “Heart boxes ready for collection today”. Remove or update the notice when the boxes are gone.

  4. A treat without a couples booking

    A single pastry, small bouquet or solo appointment can be an offer in its own right. Name the service or item; avoid suggesting that customers need a partner or deserve a consolation purchase.

    Try this: During the gift-selection stage, try “A little something for you” with the price. Close with the purchase or appointment route.

  5. The office order that needs a name list

    Offer named bags or a shared box only if packing capacity allows. Show the total quantity, total price and any separate packing charge; use a real customer order process for spelling names.

    Try this: Post before personalised packing closes. Say “Send your list by…” and specify where the list goes. For the brief itself, use the video-brief checklist.

  6. A packing update with an honest next step

    Record your own team preparing actual orders without exposing customer names or addresses. Packed orders show the process; they do not establish how much unreserved stock remains.

    Try this: Near collection day, post “Your collection window is in your confirmation”. Pair this separately filmed update with a drawn offer notice only while that offer is still available.

The price, gift contents and deadline must match the order page

For US price comparisons, the guidance concerns genuine prices regularly offered, not necessarily completed sales (16 CFR 233.1). Check current rules in your jurisdiction before advertising a reduction; this checklist is not legal advice.

Do

  • Keep a dated record of an advertised previous price and the period it was genuinely offered.
  • State piece or stem counts, wrapping charges and any collection conditions alongside the offer.
  • Make ingredient and allergen information easy to find before a food order; check current local food-information rules.
  • Base scarcity messages on checked stock or bookable slots, and replace them when availability changes.

Don't

  • Invent a higher reference price for a new Valentine's bundle to make a discount look larger.
  • Keep an expired order deadline on screen after changing the offer.
  • Use packing footage as proof that only a few gifts remain.
  • Promise a delivery date without confirmation for the service and destination involved.

Cocoa Room: two gifts, then one collection close

Cocoa Room is an invented chocolate shop from the site's seasonal example. This brief and storyboard use the Seasonal store template (Valentine's Day version), adapted to 15 s to separate the gifts from the collection close.

The briefInvented businessSeasonal store · Valentine's Day toon

Create a 15 s, 9:16 vertical Valentine's Day offer for Cocoa Room, an invented chocolate shop. Use toon style, comic lettering, drawn hearts and gift-shaped panels. Show “12-chocolate heart box · $24” then “Roses + truffles · $45”. Next show “Handwritten card included”. Close with “Order by Feb 12 · Collect Feb 13” and “Cocoa Room”. These are our chosen 2027 store dates; this offer is for store pickup only. Use #be123c, #fda4af and #fff1f2. Use text and simple shapes, without narration.

The storyboard

WhenOn screenWhy
0–2 sDrawn hearts frame “Valentine's gifts”.Identify the occasion without using a simulated photograph of the chocolates.
2–5 sA gift-shaped panel carries “12-chocolate heart box · $24”.Make the count and price readable together; keep the box drawing illustrative.
5–8 sThe next panel reads “Roses + truffles · $45”.Give the second gift its own reading time instead of showing competing prices.
8–10 s“Handwritten card included” appears without extra offer text.Use an inclusion the invented shop can fulfil, rather than a fabricated discount.
10–15 s“Order by Feb 12 · Collect Feb 13” above “Cocoa Room”; the hearts settle.The shop's own close separates the order deadline from the pickup day.
OutroThe ProcVideos outro closes the video.

Keep the collection address, hours, set contents, ingredients and order link in the caption and offer page. Review the rendered text before posting; regenerate with feedback if needed, since each generation differs. The proposed storyboard is an example, not a promise of the generated result.

Questions people ask

Is early January the right time to post my Valentine's range?

Use early January if prices, contents and fulfilment dates are confirmed. Otherwise, prepare a draft and publish when ready. Six weeks is a suggested workflow, not evidence of a best posting time.

What do I post when shipping closes but pickup is still open?

Replace the shipping message with an explicitly local offer: product, pickup date and order route. Check availability first. Stop promoting old videos that still promise delivery.

Which video length fits a gift and a deadline?

Try 10 s or 15 s for a simple offer, or 20 s or 30 s for menu inclusions or booking conditions. These are fixed product lengths. Move extra detail to the offer page and check the rendered words on your phone.

Should I discount chocolates or include a handwritten card?

Compare the card cost, writing time and box margin. Include it only if it will not delay collection; this guide has no evidence that extras outsell discounts. For previous-price advertising, check current local rules and the [US guidance where applicable](source:2).

Can I use the US survey to plan a friendship campaign elsewhere?

Use it as inspiration, not local market evidence. Ask which occasion and recipients your customers buy for. Keep the February calendar only for a February promotion.
