March 16, 2019 3 min read
As you build business relationships, at some point you decide that giving gifts to clients is a strategic proactive step to deeper relationships, whether for the holidays, a special occasion, or to express appreciation. It builds loyalty and reciprocity.
And once you decide you want to give flowers, you open a whole new set of questions and decisions to make: How do I decide? What are my options? Do I do it myself from the grocery store, or enlist the help of a professional? How much time will this take?
If you decide to get professional help, more challenges ensue:
-
You look online and the florist websites are all the same,
-
you call in but aren't sure what you want,
-
or maybe you even venture out to look and see,
-
and the inexperienced clerk, on the phone or in person, just asks you what you want and how much you want to spend.
-
but you don't even know what exactly you want - you just know the impact you want to have.
We have helped hundreds of companies and business professionals with easy gift-giving solutions.
Here are 5 tips for flowers as business gifts:
-
Decide if you want to give something that communicates your brand or reflects the style and personality of the person receiving the flowers.
-

If the flowers are for an open house, Grand Opening or other event, be sure to communicate that so that the design can feature flowers that give maximum impact when they first arrive.
-
If the flowers are for a gift for someone's desk or office, and you want it to last the longest, let us know that, and we can include some flowers that have buds that will open over time, such as lilies or orchids.
