5 Ways Billboards Amplify Brand Love This Valentine’s Day

Clear Channel Outdoor on Valentine’s Day marketing.

Valentine’s Day isn’t just about following Cupid’s arrow, showering your true love with rose petals (the first year of the relationship anyway) and diving nose deep into chocolate bliss. V-day is an opportunity for everyone to show those meaningful someones — significant others, family and friends, including those of the four-legged persuasion, just how much they’re adored. For those currently empty-handed, you’re not the only procrastinator. According to marketing trends*, more than half of V-day gifts are purchased within a week of Feb. 14, and LOVE is definitely big business!

A few more stats to ponder (and love)*:

  • 54.8% of Americans planned to celebrate Valentine’s Day in 2016
  • Americans shelled out a whopping $19.7 billion for the holiday, with $4.5 billion going toward jewelry
  • Consumers spent an average of $147 during last year’s holiday
  • Young consumers (25-34) tend to spend the most
