Dia dos Namorados
Dia Dos Namorados History
The history of this celebration is quite outstanding. While even more—it’s award-winning.
In 1948 the lighters brand Clipper was looking for a way to bump up the sales a little bit during the dead summer season. Their agency, Standart Propaganda, in particular one man, Joao Doria, came up with an idea to kick off a national love holiday. He aligned it with Saint Anthony’s day and came up with the ad campaign that urged couples in love to give gifts to each other on this special date. Among all the slogans, he chose “Love is not just kisses”.
For launching this initiative Standart Propaganda has been awarded Agency of the Year, and ever since 1949 the holiday has been supported by other brands on a national scale.

Colors of Dia dos Namorados
Red is the primary color all over Brazil on the date of July 12th. But also it’s shades such as pink and purple. Red roses, red balloons, red hearts, red slogans, red images and red sheets are everywhere during Dia dos Namorados.
Passionate red is tastefully paired off with the innocence of white color. White lilies are considered to be the favorite flowers of St Anthony, so they’re also a fairly often thing to see around on Lover’s Day.
Symbols of Dia dos Namorados
Heart shapes, heart shapes everywhere. Heart-shaped chocolates, cards, sweets, photos, and quotes flood the social media in Brazil in mid-June.
Strawberries in particular, and overall desserts. In Brazil, they do love a good dessert. It is considered a part of life as enjoyable as love itself, and inseparable from the good times with your loved one.
The Simpatias, little magic rituals performed on this day are very symbolic and would work great for the Random prize giveaway promotion on your social page or website.
