Valentine's Day is fast
approaching and many of you are still looking for that perfect gift. Is it
flowers? Chocolate? How about jewelry or dinner reservations? Every year,
countries around the world celebrate the love holiday with different customs.
For example, in Japan it's the women who give chocolates to the men. In
Finland, Valentine's Day is more about remembering your friends. The SkyPlanner
Partners found out that last year Salesforce's Radian6 or Salesforce
Marketing Cloud (it was bought by Salesforce for $326 million) had a
case study about the February 14th celebration. So the social media monitoring
platform giant posted a Valentine's Day infographic with plenty of data surrounding February 14, 2012.
Your Miami Salesforce
Consulting company learned that from February 1 to the 12th, 2012, there were
8, 293,748 mentions of Valentine's Day dedicated to lovers, singlehood and
friendship. By using social media monitoring, the Salesforce Marketing Cloud was
able to report a bunch of trends and mixed feelings about Valentine's Day. For
example, your Miami Salesforce Consulting company learned that 27,453
conversations were discussing the actual plans for the night out. Of those,
38.5% said they were saying, 16.2% said they were working while 0.3% were going
to a concert. As far as the gifts are concerned, 12,005 conversations discussed
perfume, 18,746 discussed lingerie, 84,340 discussed candy and of course
105,115 discussed roses. SkyPlanner Partners found out 74% of women were having
positive conversations surrounding Valentine's Day while only 26% of men were
having positive discussions.
When it came popular dating
sites, Eharmony had 564 mentions beating out Match.com's 408. The Salesforce
Marketing Cloud was also able report back on the most romantic city in North
America. New York City took the number one spot with 1,030 mention, Las Vegas
took the last spot with only 172 mentions. Your Miami Salesforce consulting
company discovered Twitter was also part of the study with popstar Avril Lavigne
scoring one of the top 5 tweets. She announced her February 14th concert in
Beijing at the Mastercard Centre. My baby was the top term of endearment during
the love holiday with 20,020 mentions while my love bug only had 1,073
mentions.
