Most of the ideas below came from Stan & Lisa in Arizona. Thanks!

Display Flowers on your cart. People will stop just to see if they can pick up a rose from you. Remember most malls do not have a Florist in them. Make them only available with a purchase of your regular products.  This way you shouldn’t need mall approval to sell them.

Stuffed Bears with a Rose  Buy little Stuffed Bears from the dollar store and wrap their arms around a single red rose. Then place them all around your booth. When people stop to see how much they are , say "... only $4.95 with a purchase." The only way you sell them is with a purchase. They will ask what else you sell.  "Last year we went through 48 Bears and Fresh Roses that last day alone!  Remember we only sold a Bear with a Rose with a purchase of some kind."

Silk Roses   When using these ideas, you might also check out using Silk Roses rather than fresh roses for your Display. That way they will last longer. They are also good for roses sold before the final few days.  Use fresh Roses the last couple days.

Smell like Roses!  Pick up some Rose Sent oils from a craft supply to put on the peddles of the silk roses. To help attract attention to your booth get a couple Rose Sent sick air freshener from Walmart.  Place them in several places around in your booth. The scent, along with the visual display of the roses and Bears will stop many customers for you.

White & Red Mini Lights  If you were thinking ahead last month then you picked up White and Red mini light sets for $.50 on the Dollar on the after Christmas sales.  Use them to brighten your display.

Cupid Signs  McFrugals, Pick & Save or the Dollar stores have lawn signs like Stop Signs that say "Cupid Stops Here!" or "Cupid Crossing" signs.  Pick up a couple and place them in your booth.

Sweetheart Keytags  "We got a Red Heart lawn sign from McFrugals. Screwed small eye screws into it and hung our Sweetheart key tag samples on it." We sell a lot of Sweetheart Key Tags for Valentines.
