What People Think on Valentine’s Day? Survey Highlights!

Did you know that 15% people see Valentine’s Day as more of a commercial proposition than a day to truly express one’s love?

Well, this is one of the several other interesting and startling facts that surfaced through the Valentine’s Day survey conducted by SurveyCrest. A few weeks ago, we started an online survey to determine what people actually felt about this romantic and heart-filled event. And today, we reveal the results of our study.

Survey Demographics:

Using one of the commonly used survey templates, we analyzed a population comprising of 46% males and 54% females. Out of these, 42% were ‘Married’ while the rest were either ‘Single’, ‘Dating’ or ‘Engaged’.

Key Highlights of the Survey:

• Almost half of the people surveyed (15%) find Valentine’s Day as more of a commercial proposition as opposed to a romantic one (52%).
• Majority of people (36%) treat Valentine’s Day like any other day. But 28% believe in having a low-key evening together at home.
• Flowers (22%) and Chocolates/Candies (19%) are the most preferred choice of gifts that people wish to receive this Valentine’s Day. Other popular choices include greeting cards (13%), jewelry (11%) and dinner (13%).
• Almost half (46%) of the people surveyed don’t want to spend more than $100-$500 on Valentine’s Day. Only for 8% of couples, sky is the limit when it comes to Valentine’s Day shopping.
• Surprisingly, around 63% of couples have dumped their ‘Ex’ on Valentine’s Day either through text message (21%), letter (5%), through a friend (16%), social networking site (5%) or call (16%).
