Valentine's Day Spending Holds Steady
Americans are projected to spend $25.8 billion this Valentine's Day, just shy of the record-breaking $27.4 billion spent in 2020, reports the National Retail Federation. The organization surveyed last month, gathering insights from 8,329 adult consumers regarding holiday intentions.
According to data and tech firm Numerator, nearly four out of 10 individuals intend to dine out to mark the occasion, making it the most popular holiday among those surveyed. The research, conducted among 5,132 consumers in January, aimed to understand holiday plans for the upcoming year.
Interestingly, Numerator discovered that approximately 34% of people planned their Valentine's Day festivities more than a month before the holiday. However, for those who may have procrastinated, fear not - there are still opportunities to seize, with deals awaiting the last-minute celebrators.
