Thank you Hannah at Existem for sending out what is probably the funniest affiliate email I have ever received.
For anyone who hasn't received this gem of creative Valentines day marketing, I Quote (in Full):
Looking for something a little different for Valentines? Fed up of buying flowers, chocolates and teddy bears? Has you ever thought of a beanbag? No? Why not? Here are only 10 reasons of many why beanbags are the perfect Valentines gifts;
1. Big Enough To Share - Beanbag Bazaar have a massive range of beanbags that are big enough for two, with Large (http://www.awin1.com/awclick.php?awinmid=2198&awinaffid=67681&p=http://www.beanbagbazaar.co.uk/large-bean-bags.aspx), XXL (http://www.awin1.com/awclick.php?awinmid=2198&awinaffid=67681&p=http://www.beanbagbazaar.co.uk/departments/0003016/xx-large-bean-bags.aspx) and GIANT (http://www.awin1.com/awclick.php?awinmid=2198&awinaffid=67681&p=http://www.beanbagbazaar.co.uk/giant-bean-bags.aspx) beanbags and the amazing range of sofas (http://www.awin1.com/awclick.php?awinmid=2198&awinaffid=67681&p=http://www.beanbagbazaar.co.uk/departments/0003029/furniture-bean-bags.aspx) you are spoiled for choice!
2. They Last Forever, just like your love! - Many of the beanbags at Beanbag Bazaar are made from the strongest, fire resistant, stain and water resistant material, meaning they will not damage easily!
3. Comfy For Snuggles - Beanbags mould to your shape when you sit in them, many offer extra support for your head meaning when you are snuggling to a film you will never be uncomfortable again.
4. Keeps You Warm When Your Loved One Isn't There - The beans in a bean bag are actually filled with a polystyrene bead. These have insulating properties that will keep you toasty warm when your loved one can't be there.
5. Great Prices - For the same cost as some flowers and a teddy you can get a beanbag, something that will not wither or get lost under the bed. From only £22.99 you can buy your loved one something special.
6. Matching Beanbags - Beanbags come in a huge variety of colours meaning you can each have your own beanbag or get a bundle so that you can spread the beanbag joy.
7. It's Different - Not many people can say they got a beanbag for valentines, so why not think outside the box and show someone you care. Put some thought into their favourite shape and style!
8. Personalise It - Faux Suede (http://www.awin1.com/awclick.php?awinmid=2198&awinaffid=67681&p=http://www.beanbagbazaar.co.uk/faux-suede-beanbags.aspx), Cotton Deluxe (http://www.awin1.com/awclick.php?awinmid=2198&awinaffid=67681&p=http://www.beanbagbazaar.co.uk/departments/0002010/cotton-deluxe-bean-bags.aspx), Cotton (http://www.awin1.com/awclick.php?awinmid=2198&awinaffid=67681&p=http://www.beanbagbazaar.co.uk/cotton-bean-bags.aspx), Faux Leather (http://www.awin1.com/awclick.php?awinmid=2198&awinaffid=67681&p=http://www.beanbagbazaar.co.uk/faux-leather-bean-bags.aspx), MicroPlush Cord (http://www.awin1.com/awclick.php?awinmid=2198&awinaffid=67681&p=http://www.beanbagbazaar.co.uk/luxury-cord-bean-bags.aspx) - you can choose what material they would like.

9. Gaming Beanbags - If you enjoy nights in together playing your games console then why not treat your loved one to a gaming beanbag, specially designed to give you comfort in all the right places!
10. Let Them Choose! - BeanBag Bazaar have a range of gift vouchers £25.00 (http://www.awin1.com/awclick.php?awinmid=2198&awinaffid=67681&p=http://www.beanbagbazaar.co.uk/gift-vouchers/gift-voucher-25/prod_100378.aspx), £35.00 (http://www.awin1.com/awclick.php?awinmid=2198&awinaffid=67681&p=http://www.beanbagbazaar.co.uk/gift-vouchers/gift-voucher-35/prod_100384.aspx), £50.00 (http://www.awin1.com/awclick.php?awinmid=2198&awinaffid=67681&p=http://www.beanbagbazaar.co.uk/gift-vouchers/gift-voucher-50/prod_100386.aspx) and £100.00 (http://www.awin1.com/awclick.php?awinmid=2198&awinaffid=67681&p=http://www.beanbagbazaar.co.uk/gift-vouchers/gift-voucher-100/prod_100387.aspx) so let them choose what they want for their present!
Even Better...
You don't have to hit the shops as they are delivered straight to your door! Hannah, I bet you could sell snow to eskimos given the right incentive.
But really, as a woman, if you got a beanbag instead of Flowers and Chocolates, would there be a Valentines night? Wouldn't your dearly beloved quickly become your dearly departed?
Imagine if you were expecting a romantic weekend away and you ended up with a voucher for 25 quid off a beanbag. If I did that to my wife, I'd be needing a new bag to keep my beans in!
Fellas, you know exactly what I'm saying!
Although, there could well have been a hidden marketing ploy, deep within the psyche of this email:
I read it out to the missus and my, how we larfed. Once I'd finished and we picked ourselves up off the floor, she said "You're going to buy me a beanbag for valentines day now aren't you, just to be funny"
And ya know what? I just might!:D
