Millions of people spend time on platforms like Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, and TikTok every day. This widespread usage necessitates a closer examination of the psychological effects of social media. In this post, we will explore both the positive and negative impacts of social media on psychology and offer suggestions on how to balance these effects.Introduction #### Positive Effects **Staying Connected:** Social media makes it easy to stay connected with family and friends. It allows us to communicate with people we can't physically meet due to long distances. This is especially important for expatriate families and friends living in different cities. Sharing memories, sending messages on important days, and instantly sharing significant life updates are some of the most valuable advantages that social media offers. - [RESEARCH](https://www.twentify.com/blog/topic/research) ### [Valentines Day In Canada: Brand Preferences and Consumer Insights](https://www.twentify.com/blog/valentines-day-in-canada-brand-preferences-and-consumer-insights) - [**](https://www.facebook.com/sharer/sharer.php?u=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.twentify.com%2Fblog%2Fvalentines-day-in-canada-brand-preferences-and-consumer-insights) - [**](https://www.twitter.com/share?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.twentify.com%2Fblog%2Fvalentines-day-in-canada-brand-preferences-and-consumer-insights) - [**](http://www.linkedin.com/shareArticle?mini=true&url=https://www.twentify.com/blog/valentines-day-in-canada-brand-preferences-and-consumer-insights) [Back to Blog](https://www.twentify.com/blog) # Valentines Day In Canada: Brand Preferences and Consumer Insights - [Tweet](https://twitter.com/share) #### In this research you will find out how Canadians planned their Valentines Day celebrations, what is the ideal gift for males and females, and which brands Canadians are most likely to select when buying a Valentines Day gift for their partners. ![alex-wong-46425-unsplash.jpg](https://www.twentify.com/hs-fs/hubfs/English_Blog_Posts/Valentines_Day/alex-wong-46425-unsplash.jpg?width=640&name=alex-wong-46425-unsplash.jpg) ### **An Ideal Gift On Valentines Day** While women in equal measure favoured flowers, a hand-written card, chocolate, jewellery, and tickets to a show, men were mostly up for a weekend trip away, sports clothing and a home-cooked meal. ### **An Ideal Way To Spend Valentines Day** The ideal way to spend the day also differed between genders, with women likely to spend the day roaming the city or going on a weekend trip away, and men favouring a cinema trip, a home-cooked meal and movies at home. ### **Valentines Day Brands Roundups: Reality Vs. Expectations** To find out which brands are winning the Valentines Day roundup, we asked both females and males which brands they would like to get, and which brands they are planning to give to their partners. That way we have established “Reality vs Expectations” picture.And found out the most popular brands for Valentines Day in different categories such as fashion and jewellery, confectionary, electronics and other categories. ### **Female Brand Roundups in Fashion and Jewellery Categories** Comparing these two graphs, we can clearly see that the top brands that women would prefer to get for Valentines Day are jewellery brands: La Maison D’Or Jewellers, Pandora, Swarovski and Peoples Jewellers are top choices. Among fashion brands women favoured Victoria’s Secret, Coach, Chanel and Michael Kors. Interestingly, men think alike on some brands, choosing Michael Kors, Victoria’s Secret and Peoples Jewellers for their partners. ### **Female Brand Roundups in Confectionary Brands** Interestingly, in chocolate preferences males and females are pretty similair: both genders favoured Lindt as a leader, followed by Hershey’s, Cadbury and Lindor. ### **Male Brand Roundups in Fashion and Accessories Category** So what are the most popular male brands for Valentines Day; brands that men would like to receive and their partners are planning to give? We can see that in the fashion category males clearly favoured Nike, Calvin Klein, Adidas Yeezy, Banana Republic and American Eagle. Men were lucky because their brand preferences and desires were pretty well matched with what their partners were selecting for them: Nike, Reebok, Peoples Jewellers, American Eagle, Banana Republic, Adidas and Tommy Hilfiger made the cut. ### **Male Brand Roundups in Electronics Category** In electronic brands category, males reported desiring products from Apple, Samsung, Fitbit, Sony and Xbox the most. While their partners were planning to surprise them with Apple, Playstation, Samsung and Sony products. Just showing how well women in Canada are tuned into their partners’ preferences!
