St. Patrick's Day 2014 Survey

Posted by Anonymous on

As St. Patrick's day draws near, we are excited to share with you the results of our 2014 St. Patrick's Day survey. We got input from nearly 3,000 people and the final data presented is based on the completed surveys of 1,337 Americans. We asked them questions about their plans to celebrate, what they like to drink on the holiday, and even if they will attempt an Irish accent. Participants came from 47 different states, were both male and female, and have varying levels of education.

We went about finding respondents a few different ways; first we set up targeted social media ads through Facebook and Twitter. Then we visited a local brewery in Cincinnati called Rhinegeist and conducted field interviews by using iPads loaded with SurveyPocket. There we were able to collect about 50 responses live. We also used a general US population sample courtesy of qSample. Check out the infographic below with a highlight of some of the best results!
