Intentionally Bad Valentines

These Crudely Drawn Love Letters Show You Care in an Unartistic Way

— February 9, 2015 — Life-Stages
Why draw a crappy Valentine's Day card yourself when you can pay Crudely Drawn Love Letters to do it for you? The company specializes in custom, semi-professional love notes that are guaranteed to be entertaining. They may also make you feel better about your own artistic abilities, although that's not guaranteed.

Crudely Drawn Love Letters does a little more than draw a bad picture on a piece of computer paper; each custom note is drawn on water and fade-resistant paper with non-toxic markers and they're each shipped in a fancy red envelope. The company guarantees that each card is original, so you can rest easy knowing that your sweetheart's snail or basketball card isn't hanging on somebody else's fridge. Each note costs $6.99 and the service is live and ready for Valentine's Day.
Trend Themes
1. Customized Love Notes - Opportunity for personalized, hand-drawn love notes that offer a unique and entertaining alternative to traditional Valentine's Day cards.
2. Unconventional Artistry - Disruptive innovation opportunity to challenge conventional notions of artistic skill by offering intentionally bad, amusingly crude drawings as a form of expression.
3. Originality and Exclusivity - Potential for disruption by guaranteeing originality and exclusivity in each custom note, allowing customers to give one-of-a-kind gifts.
Industry Implications
1. Stationery and Greeting Cards - Disruptive innovation opportunities in the stationery industry through the creation of custom, unique love notes that provide a refreshing alternative to mass-produced cards.
2. Online Gift and Personalization Services - Opportunity for disruptive innovation in the online gift and personalization industry by offering semi-professional, customized love notes as a unique and memorable gift option.
3. Art and Design - Disruptive innovation potential by challenging traditional notions of art and design, offering intentionally bad drawings as a humorous and unconventional expression of love and creativity.
