Los Angeles, CA / February 5, 2024: FUN FACTORY, the pioneers of playfulness, are urging their customers to forget Valentine’s Day traditions and have a sexier, more modern, and more indulgent anti-Valentine’s celebration. Their latest customer survey showed that lots of folks are on the same page: A whopping 97% of people believe love should be celebrated every day of the year.
The survey, taken by over 600 Americans, revealed that almost 50% of people say they’d rather “cut out the fuss” and say “f**k Valentine’s Day” altogether. FUN FACTORY’s new customizable kits help them do just that.
There are reasons behind these customers’ V-Day skepticism. For one, Valentine’s Day is practically synonymous with breakups. Ever heard of Red Tuesday? According to YouGov data, about one in 14 Americans has broken up with someone on V-Day and according to FUN FACTORY’s own survey, a whopping 44% of the brand’s customers have been dumped around Valentine’s. Contrast that with the 21% of customers who say it’s okay to date someone through V-Day and break up soon after.
It’s no wonder 16% of customers want to avoid the holiday, 23% couldn’t care less, 36% don’t find it remotely sexy, and 2% are spending it alone, even though they’re partnered up. Always one to listen to customer feedback, FUN FACTORY is taking an anti-Valentine’s approach to the holiday and offering customizable kits with powerful, ethically made sex toys and premium accessory options.
The curate-your-own kits will sell for $214 in honor of 2/14, and represent a discount of up to 45% off – which is over $180!
A specially built landing page allows buyers to choose an experience, solo or partnered, before getting to the exciting part—personalizing their own sexy kit to use all year round. There’s even expert content, covering everything from dating after divorce to casting a self-love spell!
Kristen Tribby, Global Head of Marketing and Education at FUN FACTORY, explains: “Our customers talked, and we listened. We created the anti-Valentine’s campaign to allow our customers to choose how they want to celebrate this day—not how society tells them they should. This idea came when 90% of our customers revealed they would rather shop online with a brand that takes an unconventional approach to Valentine’s Day. That’s exactly what we brought them.
“Our anti-Valentine’s campaign is modern; it’s fun, inclusive, and hyper-personalized. It not only provides customers with an opportunity to curate their own V-Day box and save a ton, but also offers special content for single people, couples, throuples, and polycules. We wanted to really ensure we’re giving everyone everything they need for celebrating love every day of the year, in whichever way they choose!”
Even our Sexperts are on board. Zachary Zane, Sex Expert at FUN FACTORY says: “We should all be able to celebrate love EVERY SINGLE DAY, whether you’re single, couple, throuple, or in a massive polycule. For decades, we’ve been exposed to content only relating to couples in ‘traditional,’ heteronormative relationships, and this is not how every person likes to celebrate Valentine’s Day, or if they even want to celebrate it at all. We deserve more than roses, cards, and gender-based advertisements. I hope more brands will follow Fun Factory’s example and help create a space where EVERYONE feels loved in whatever way they’re comfortable with, no matter the day!”
Zach even curated his own personalized kit, which included MANTA, DUKE, BI AMOR, and his book, Boyslut.
Oh, and here’s the silver lining about the whole breakup thing—in case of a split, 60% agree: The one who received the toys gets to keep them. So whether you’re treating yourself or receiving from another, expect sexy fun all year round.
So, join the anti-Valentine’s movement this Valentine’s and curate your own custom kit. The custom bundles are available now at https://us.funfactory.com/
