No money, no honey: Singaporeans among world’s top Valentine’s spenders, survey reveals

Couples will spend more than $135 on Valentine’s Day.

Couples should be ready to shell out a considerable sum of money this Valentine’s Day. A survey by Groupon revealed that Singapore couples are among the world’s biggest Valentine’s Day spenders, with over one in three respondents expecting to spend between $135 (US$100) and $234 (US$199) on the day of hearts.

By comparison, only 19% of Australians plan to spend as much. Dinner in a nice restaurant was cited as both the main way Singaporeans plan to celebrate Valentine’s Day and as the ideal first date, but men need not be pressured to foot the hefty bill because only 55% of women respondents expect their dates to pay the bill.

Only 9% of Singaporeans surveyed feel that Valentine’s Day is something their significant other expects them to do, with 50% believing that it is the perfect opportunity to show loved ones how much they care about them.

Every quarter, SBR lands on the desks of the founders, CFOs, and directors running Asia's most consequential companies. Every day, they open our newsletter and read our website. It's a room that took twenty years to build — and it's the one most of our partners are trying to get into.

The good news is that the door is open. We work with companies on thought leadership articles, sponsored content, industry summits across Southeast Asia, regional awards programmes, podcasts, and media placements in print and digital. The shape of the right partnership depends on what you're trying to do, which is why we'd rather start with a conversation than send a rate card.

If you have something this room should know about, tell us. We'll tell you honestly whether we can help, and how.

No rate cards until we understand the brief. It's a better use of everyone's time.
