A Cure For “I Hate Valentines Day” Syndrome

Chicago, IL - February 9, 2011 - Valentine’s Day is for those who are deeply in love and plan to live happily ever after.  So what about the rest of us?  A new, free digital Valentines greeting offers a fun, quirky alternative to Valentines Day for those of us who have a more cynical view toward big red hearts.

MVP (My Valentine’s Pitch) is an on-line greeting created by the slightly warped sensibilities of the creative team at Vertical, Incorporated, a Chicago-based marketing communications firm.

“MVP allows you to create personalized notes of friendship, fun and even affection in an irreverent, cheesy, off-beat way,” says Michael J. Keating, president of Vertical, Incorporated. “We think it’s a cure for getting through Valentines Day for those of us who are a little jaded-at-heart.  In short, it’s fun.  And if you are a hopeless romantic, it might give you a voice as well.”

            Here’s how it works.  Go to http://myvalentinepitch.com and begin to customize your greeting.  You can choose from eight odd, pre-selected images or add your own.  Then go to the list of 117 words, provided in refrigerator-magnet style, and construct your greeting.  That’s when things come alive in a strange, sci-fi way.  When you’re happy with your personalized greeting, enter the e-mail address of one or more Valentines. And have fun.
