SUMMARY:Groundhog Day
DESCRIPTION:First\, let’s cover the basics: Groundhog Day is celebrated on February 2\, and is a fun way to “predict” the arrival of Spring. According to legend\, if it is cloudy when the groundhog emerges from its burrow\, Spring will arrive early. However\, if it’s sunny when the groundhog emerges\, and he sees his shadow\, he will retreat back into his burrow and Winter will continue for 6 more weeks. \nTrivia to Share with Your Customers\n\nPunxsutawney Phil is a groundhog resident of Punxsutawney\, Pennsylvania. He lives in the town library with his “wife” Phyllis.\nAccording to fans\, Punxsutawney Phil is given a sip of a magical elixir each summer to extend his life for 7 years. Thus\, he has made weather predictions for over 123 years.\nAccording to records kept since 1887\, Punxsutawney Phil’s weather predictions have only been correct 39% of the time.\n\nCelebrating Suggestions\n\nPreview Spring menu items for the week leading up to Groundhog Day.\nCreate a fun “gift with purchase” promotion\, and give away a different gift depending on Phil’s forecast\nHave guests vote whether they think if Phil will see his shadow\, and pull a winner from the “correct” batch (winner receives a gift card).\nUse Phil’s prediction to drive a new in-store promotion or event! If possible\, restaurants and bars can introduce new Spring menu items\, and retail shops can use a “shadow” forecast to move through the rest of their winter merchandise.

SUMMARY:Super Bowl Sunday
DESCRIPTION:Super Bowl Sunday is the day on which the Super Bowl\, the annual championship for the National Football League\, is played. It is usually on the last Sunday in January or the first Sunday in February and is sometimes referred to as an unofficial national holiday. Festivities for Super Bowl Sunday typically involve groups of people gathering to watch the game. Both “Super Bowl Sunday” and “Super Sunday” are registered trademarks of the National Football League. \nFestivities\nAlthough not an official holiday\, Super Bowl Sunday is an occasion when many families and friends gather together to watch the game\, including those who are not normally football fans. Although sports bars have historically been busy on Super Bowl Sunday in the past\, it is becoming more common for people to watch the game from home. This is due in part to the increasing size of home televisions in the United States as well as the attempts of budget-conscious consumers to save money. \nBecause watching the Super Bowl is so popular\, stores are often empty during the game\, particularly in the regions represented by the two teams playing in the Super Bowl\, and water usage drops\, with significant rises in use during halftime and after the game\, as fans use the bathroom. Additionally\, churches sometimes cancel afternoon or evening services on Super Bowl Sunday\, hold football-themed charity drives\, or deliver sermons designed to appeal to male members of the congregation. \nSource: WikiPedia

SUMMARY:Valentine's Day
DESCRIPTION:Overview\nValentine’s Day is observed each year on February 14. Across the United States and all over the world\, candy\, flowers\, and gifts are exchanged between loved ones on Valentine’s Day. \nValentine’s Day is a great opportunity for you to show your customers some love! It could be as simple as giving them some candy at checkout\, or you could offer them specials “for two.” Read on for more ideas! \nDetails\nIt began as a liturgical celebration of one or more early Christian saints named Valentinus. The most popular story associated with Saint Valentine that he was imprisoned\, and then executed\, for performing weddings for soldiers who were forbidden to marry. \nTrivia\n\nApproximately 1 billion valentines are sent each year in the United States.\nElementary school teachers receive the most valentines of any group of adults.\nCupid\, the god of desire and affection\, is often depicted as actually carrying two sets of arrows: gold-headed\, to inspire love; and lead-headed\, to inspire hatred.\n\nCelebrating Suggestions\n\nGive away Hershey’s Kisses to each customer at check-out.\nDecorate your store\, if appropriate.\nOffer special menu items\, made for two.\nOffer special spa packages for two\, or create special Valentine’s Day-themed packages for one.\nRestaurants can make the evening really romantic with candlelight and strolling musicians. Promote this to your current customers via your eMail list\, on your website and in local newspapers. Make it special and take reservations.\nIf you run a bakery\, create heart-shaped treats. Have fun with it! Make “conversation heart” cookies with messages to your customers.\nIf retail is your speciality\, merchandise the “perfect” Valentine’s Day gifts for him and her\, or group pink and red clothing and accessories together for a fun display.\nIf your restaurant has the space (and the proper insurance in place)\, host a “date night” cooking class!\nHost an “anti-Valentine’s Day” event at your restaurant for singles.\n\nHere are some fun examples we’ve scouted: \nValentine’s Day Fundraiser\nOn January 6\, Friendly’s Ice Cream will launch their 34th annual “Cones for Kids” campaign. The Valentine’s Day campaign\, which runs through February 13\, benefits Easter Seals Disability Services through the sale of Valentine’s Day coupons which are redeemable for ice cream and other goodies. Easter Seals Disability Services provides recreation and camping services for people of all ages with disabilities. We love this idea! How could you make it work for your business and a local charity in need? \n \n  \nRomance-Themed Cooking Classes\nSur La Table is offering a variety of romantic cooking classes in February. Customers can learn how to make Valentine’s macarons\, luscious truffles\, or a romantic meal for two. How fun! Not only do the classes provide a fun event for customers\, but they encourage customers to purchase equipment used during the class with a voucher for a discount! This idea is easily adaptable for a gourmet food shop (show customers how to use your specialty goods to create a memorable meal) or wine shop (show customers how to pair wine with various bites to wow their significant other). \n \nAnti-Valentine’s Day Dinner\nCity Tap House in Washington\, D.C. is hosting an “Anti-Valentine’s Day Dinner” to cater to those not-so-romantic customers out there. By partnering with Allagash Brewing Company\, they’re offering a 4-course meal\, paired with limited edition sour beers. We like celebrating the non-romantic side of the holiday\, especially by incorporating sour beers. Your bar or restaurant could easily host an anti-Valentine’s Day dinner or event – get creative and think about your customers and what they would want! \n \nSpecialty Product\nIt’s not uncommon for Krispy Kreme to create special occasion doughnuts for various holidays. But\, we like that even though these Valentine’s Day doughnuts aren’t launching until January 26\, they’ve started pre-promoting them in various print advertisements to build awareness. Your bakery or specialty retail shop could do the same!
