Did you know that April is Stress Awareness Month? Gifting flowers have always been a tool used by people who wish to make others feel better. Flowers have been proven to help relieve stress and they also bring joy to people.
We have put together a list of ways to help promote this amazing cause and ways to drive business for your floral retail shop.
Engage with customers over social media
Be sure to post about this flower giving occasion over all of your social media accounts. Start to promote the month at least two weeks in advance. This will allow enough time for more and more people to learn about the event!
Create a special day
Another great way to drive business would be to provide an enticing offer. You can invite your customers into the shop and allow them to pick out a special flower free of charge. While you have them, tell them the many mental health benefits that flowers possess. This may influence further purchases!
Customer Outreach
Anyone who purchases from your retail shop, encourage them to share with others how their flowers have helped them to deal with stress. Tell them to tag your shop in any social media posts that mention your flowers. You can even create a unique hashtag that your customers can share with others. Be sure to track the hashtag and see what your customers are saying!
Corporate clients can be key!
Contact all of your corporate clients and make them aware of this special month! Many of your clients may want to participate. Some of the customers may even purchase bouquets to hand out to their employees. This can mean serious business for your shop, so make sure that you are fully stocked!
