St. Patrick’s Day Report: What to know for 2018 A NewsWhip Social Publishing Insights Report www.newswhip.com
St. Patrick’s Day Spending In the lead-up to St. Patrick’s Day 2018, it’s worth noting that the NRF is predicting it will be the highest spending ever for the holiday. Consumers are expected to spend some $5.9 billion, or nearly $40 per person across America alone. The majority of this will be spent on food, alcohol, decorations, fashion and beauty, and travel. 50 percent of people surveyed said they planned to spend on food, 41% on alcohol, 31 percent on clothes, and 26 percent on decorations.

The Top St. Patrick’s Day Content of 2017 Last year, content around St. Patrick’s Day drove some 3 million social media engagements* over the five weeks before and after the holiday. Most of these came the week directly before the 17th March, with a spike of 1.8 million or so in the three day period immediately before and after the day. There was a notable exception on Pinterest, however, where content is mostly food and recipe focused. There was a large spike a month before thanks to one extremely viral recipe, and then a second peak about two weeks before, presumably as people made plans for the event. *Engagements totaled across Facebook, LinkedIn, Twitter, and Pinterest for February 10th- March 25th, 2017.

The Top St. Patrick’s Day Content of 2017 A lot of the top content for St. Patrick’s Day 2017 was actually political in nature, and focused on criticism of President Trump for claiming he was quoting a famous Irish saying, which turned out not to be the case. There was also some criticism for Paul Ryan, speaker of the House. The rest of the top content tended to be more light-hearted in nature, from recipes, to Boston’s duckling statues celebrating St Patrick’s day, to the news that practicing Catholics living in certain Dioceses could eat meat on St. Patrick’s Day Friday.

The Top St. Patrick’s Day Content of 2017 by Vertical As a lot of the content was political, we broke the report down into four verticals to see what the top content was around St. Patrick’s Day for them. These were food, alcohol, travel, and clothing. Food had the top article by some considerable distance, with a recipe for Irish cream cupcakes taking the top spot across all these categories. Other content included lists of the best places to eat and drink, and to travel.

2017 St. Patrick’s Day Trends: Food
The Top Brand Winners of St. Patrick’s Day Food Content of 2017 A lot of the most successful food content centered around recipes, which is why the Instant Pot is included in this study, as many of the recipes specifically call for it. Beyond that we looked at Krispy Kreme, McDonald’s, and Avocados from Mexico, as they were all brands that received a good amount of success in our general ranking. Top Food Brands on the Web Top Food Brands on Facebook Pages Krispy Kreme 33,881 Krispy Kreme 59,922 McDonald's 7,257 Instant Pot 25,136 Instant Pot 6,054 McDonald's 17,837 Avocados from Mexico 2,517 Avocados from Mexico 2,317 0 10000 20000 30000 40000 0 15000 30000 45000 60000 Krispy Kreme was the runaway success here compared to the others, with almost 5x the engagements on web content, and over 2x the Facebook native engagement of any of the other brands that we looked at. This was due to their St. Patrick’s Day gimmick of green donuts to celebrate the day, which generally got a positive reception online. Much of the engagement on McDonald’s content was not so positive as other brands saw, as they were criticized by many for what was seen as a tone deaf approach to the holiday. Instant Pot and Avocados from Mexico both performed very well considering the low number of articles published about them, which was fewer than the either Krispy Kreme or McDonald’s. These were principally recipes using the Instant Pot or, unsurprisingly, avocados. Free Trial

The Top St. Patrick’s Day Food Content of 2017 The graph below shows when food content around St. Patrick’s Day started to garner engagements more generally, beyond just the brands we had looked at in the previous pages. There was an unusually large spike in February, about a month before the actual date of St. Patrick’s Day, thanks exclusively to one article with a recipe for Irish cream cupcakes, which exploded on Pinterest to garner over 140,000 engagements. Beyond that one anomaly, there was a slow build up from the start of March until a spike on the date itself, as you might expect, but even the spike on the day of the event does not top the previous spike from the month before. *Engagements totaled across Facebook, LinkedIn, Twitter, and Pinterest for February 10th- March 25th, 2017.

The Top St. Patrick’s Day Food Content of 2017 As stated previously, the top piece of content was the cupcake recipe with nearly 140,000 engagements on Pinterest alone.

2017 St. Patrick’s Day Trends: Alcohol
The Top St. Patrick’s Day Alcohol Content of 2017 There was a clear winner in terms of the big Irish alcohol brands, with Guinness well ahead of even other high profile brands such as Jameson whiskey. Budweiser also featured somewhat in the top content but not close to Guinness’ domination, which had around 20x its nearest rival for engagements on Facebook native content, and around 50x for web engagements. Top Food Brands on the Web Top Food Brands on Facebook Pages Guinness 112,954 Guinness 341,186 Jameson 2,346 Jameson 18,965 Budweiser 459 Bailey's 9,448 Bailey's 384 Budweiser 3,017 0 30000 60000 90000 120000 0 100000 200000 300000 400000 The majority of content was not by the brands themselves but was accrued in earned media, especially as stories about how people celebrated St. Patrick’s Day with various types of drinking. One of the most engaged stories, as we will see in the next slide, was about British royals Prince William and Princess Kate celebrating the day with a pint of Guinness with the Irish Guards unit of the military.

The Top St. Patrick’s Day Alcohol Content of 2017 The content around alcohol performed a little differently to what we saw in other verticals, as there was a small spike the week or so before the event as articles were published about which bars to go to to celebrate. This was then subsequently followed by a slight dip in engagements before a bigger spike in the days surrounding the event, with a few more articles about where to celebrate, but more of a focus on how people celebrated generally. *Engagements totaled across Facebook, LinkedIn, Twitter, and Pinterest for February 10th- March 25th, 2017.

There was also a considerable amount of repetition with the top articles for Guinness, as these garnered enough engagements to feature in the top ten overall as well as just the Guinness-specific articles.

2017 St. Patrick’s Day Trends: Travel
The Top St. Patrick’s Day Travel Content of 2017 As we have seen with other verticals, there is a spike in engagement just over a week before St. Patrick’s Day, presumably as people engage with the content about where the best place to celebrate the day is. This is then followed by a small dip and then a larger spike with coverage of the day itself, especially the articles featuring pictures of the celebrations around the world. The vast majority of these engagements came on Facebook, with relatively few engagements on other platforms in comparison. *Engagements totaled across Facebook, LinkedIn, Twitter, and Pinterest for February 10th- March 25th, 2017.

The Top St. Patrick’s Day Travel Content of 2017 Many of the articles feature pieces on where best to celebrate the holiday in terms of cities to travel to. The list is quite US-centric for an Irish holiday. The majority of the publishers featured here were American, with most of the top articles featuring cities in America, such as Boston, rather than Irish cities. Articles featuring famous landmarks turned green around the world to mark the holiday also featured.

The Top St. Patrick’s Day Travel Content of 2017 on Instagram The top content for travel on Instagram was all to do with travel to Ireland itself, often unlike the web content’s sometime focus on where best to celebrate St. Patrick’s Day in the USA. The top post came from Matt Expert Vagabond, who took the opportunity to share the last port of call for the Titanic and engage his audience by asking where they would travel if they could go anywhere in the world. Two of the top five also combined alcohol and travel, with travel inspired cocktails and visits to the Guinness factory in Dublin.

2017 St. Patrick’s Day Trends: Fashion & Beauty
The Top St. Patrick’s Day Fashion and Beauty Content of 2017 Fashion and Beauty was the only one of the verticals we looked at that saw no noticeable pre-event spike, but rather a slow build to the day itself. There were noticeably fewer engagements on this vertical across web content than there were in other verticals, with the peak number of engagements only hitting around 8,500 per three day period. As we will see later, this was not the case across all platforms, with Instagram, as usual, providing a uniquely successful outlet for fashion and beauty content. *Engagements totaled across Facebook, LinkedIn, Twitter, and Pinterest for February 10th- March 25th, 2017.

The Top St. Patrick’s Day Fashion and Beauty Content of 2017 There was not a great deal of engagement on web articles containing fashion and beauty content, with only two articles being of particular note. One came from fashion brand Andrew and Christian featuring two scantily clad models in Arad and Topher wishing us all a Happy St. Patrick’s Day, and advertising the brand at the same time. The other significant article in terms of engagements came from a local Boston publication and featured the Mayor wearing a Celtics shirt to celebrate the event.
