CHICAGO--(BUSINESS WIRE)--
With Valentine’s Day just over a week away, a new survey of 2,000 people
found that nearly 60 percent of people give their partner an F when it
comes to bringing the romance on February 14. The Groupon (NASDAQ: GRPN)
study, which looked into gift expectations and plans surrounding the
annual day of love, uncovered that the average person rates their
partner at just 52 percent –– an F-grade equivalent –– when it comes to
the effort they put into Valentine’s Day. And just 15 percent of those
surveyed would give their partner an A. Which raises the question: what
do people need to do to help make sure they get a passing grade this
year?

With Valentine's Day just over a week away, a new survey from Groupon asked people what letter grade they would give their partner for the effort they typically put into the annual day of love. The result: 60% would give their partner an F! And only 15% would give their partner an A. (Graphic: Business Wire)
“Valentine’s Day is the perfect opportunity to express how much you love
your partner, but as the survey results show far too many are missing
the mark and not getting the job done,” said Aaron Cooper, president of
North America, Groupon. “The good news is that we’ve uncovered the
Valentine’s Day gifts sure to ignite the romance and help you knock it
out of the park this year.”
According to the survey, which was conducted by OnePoll and commissioned
by Groupon, 70 percent of people said receiving a Valentine’s Day gift
was very important to them. But with so many people receiving a failing
grade from their partner, what are the gifts that people actually want
this year? Respondents selected a romantic dinner, chocolate, flowers,
a
massage and a home-cooked
meal as the top five gifts. Jewelry, a
trip to an exotic and/or warm weather locale, a
spa package, a
staycation at a local hotel and tickets to a comedy show rounded out
the top 10.
And when it comes to giving your loved one flowers on Valentine’s Day,
the survey revealed that it’s important to get the selection, quantity
and delivery just right. The average person is most likely to receive a
dozen roses and have them delivered to work instead of home.
Surprisingly, the survey also found strong preferences amongst
participants for rose alternatives such as tulips, lilacs, sunflowers,
bonsai and edible
arrangements.
The survey also found that men were more demanding than women when it
comes to Valentine’s Day expectations. More than half of the men polled
admitted that they expect their partner to make a maximum effort in
getting them a Valentine’s Day gift this year compared to just 36
percent of women who expect the same amount of effort.
Finally, nearly 60 percent of those surveyed revealed that they are
hoping Cupid’s arrow will reignite the romance in their relationship
this year. And they may actually be onto something as nearly the same
amount of people said they expect to have sex with their partner on
Valentine’s Day.
