Inside The Bouqs Co.’s plan to take on the largest online florists - DigitalCommerce360
Tuesday, July 09, 2019The Bouqs Co. is a relatively small online florist, at least compared with online giants such as ProFlowers.com, 1-800-Flowers.com and FTD.com. April Berthene May 8, 2018 Bouqs, for example, attracted roughly 146,000 total visits in November 2018, nearly a 25% increase from a year earlier, according to digital measurement firm SimilarWeb Ltd. That’s a far cry from ProFlowers (1.75 million visitors in November), 1-800-Flowers (1.75 million) and FTD (1.50 million). But Bouqs is growing quickly; its November revenue was up 45% compared with the previous year.And while the holidays don’t account for an outsized sales role for many florists, Bouqs generates roughly a quarter of its annual sales in t... https://www.digitalcommerce360.com/2019/01/10/inside-the-bouqs-co-s-plan-to-leverage-engagement-marketing-to-take-on-the-largest-online-florists/
How to Make Trader Joe's Flowers Look Expensive - Alstroemeria Bouquet Tutorial - HouseBeautiful.com
Tuesday, July 09, 2019Alstroemeria for $4 apiece—putting our total investment to $12—Robert grabbed a wide, low vase and got to work, creating a bouquet that rivaled ones you could spend $35-$40 on from a local florist. Here's exactly what he did. Brad Holland First, Choose Your Color Palette.A single color is always a safe bet, but for more of a conversation piece—which we were going for here—Robert recommends blending three shades of the same flower. Alstroemeria, or Peruvian Lilies, are a great choice, because they're eye-catching and will look fresh for over a week (ours lasted 10 days!). Plus, the blooms themselves are fairly large, so they'll fill up the space in a low, wide vase without requiring a ton of stems, keeping your overall costs down.Second, Cluster Similar Shades Together.For more of an impact, keep the blooms of each color together. Brad Holland Third, Prune Your Bouquet. Trim all of the stems so they're roughly two inches taller than the vase—at an angle, so they can drink in more water—and remove almost all of the leaves, except for a couple near the bloom itself. You want a few leaves, but not all of them, for a little variety and visual interest. Keeping them all can make your arrangement look cluttered and messy.Fourth, Don't Crowd the Vase.Once you've added the flowers to a water-filled vase, let them settle a bit, then remove a few blooms. If there are any awkward gaps or holes, you can add a bloom or two back to fill the space, but whatever you do, don't try to get your money's worth and smash every single stem in the vase. That will only make your arrangement look JV—and cause your petals to bruise and wilt faster. Fifth, Consider Where You Show it Off.A bouquet like this is perfect for a dining room table or coffee table. "It's low enough that people can easily see over it," Robert explains.

New flower business blooms in Huron - Sandusky Register
Tuesday, July 09, 2019HURON — A new florist business is blossoming under the care of its owners.Sarah Lazette Gilbert, a 2000 Huron graduate, opened the Sweet Pea Flower Truck in May, but she’s been peddling petals since high school.“I got into the industry when I was in high school and started working with a friend of my mother’s, Lisa Fantozzi, after she branched out and started the Enchanted Florist,” Gilbert said. “She was a good friend and a mentor to me.”Fantozzi was diagnosed with cancer and died in 2008, at which point the Enchanted Florist closed and there hasn’t been a floral shop in the city since. Gilbert always wanted to open a floral business of her own and spent a year looking for a location with her husband.“A brick-and-mortar location really wouldn’t fit into my life as a new mother. I needed to be able to be at home more,” Gilbert said.The couple started to brainstorm alternative ways she could open her own business and decided to try to do for florists what food trucks did for restaurants.The busi... http://www.sanduskyregister.com/story/201906120022
Entrepreneur forages for wild flowers - Vermont Biz
Tuesday, July 09, 2019Many times, she doesn’t know what she's after. She will know it when she sees it.Erin Ostreicher, a 33-year-old florist, is looking for wild plants, flowers and whatever else is blossoming to decorate an upcoming wedding. She has about six nurseries and a few flower shops she frequents, she grows her own as well, but foraging is her favorite method for arranging flowers.“We spend a great deal of time foraging through Vermont’s fields, farmers markets, plant nurseries, and flower farms for the best, most genuine products for our clients, oftentimes incorporating rare materials that can’t be sourced anywhere else,” said Ostreicher.Photo: Erin Ostreicher, Owner and Founder of Nectar and Root.

She never thought she would be an entrepreneur, but always loved floral design and has since first grade.Growing up in Connecticut drawing bouquets and arranging flowers she found throughout her neighborhood was fun, but it never seemed like it could be a realistic career.

Cut Flowers Caucus blooms on Capitol Hill - Washington Examiner
Tuesday, July 09, 2019American flower farms like the ones in Alaska.” In Young's 46 years in the House, he's received no contributions from PACs linked to florists or nursery services and only small individual donations in 1994, 2006, and 2011 from people working in the sector, according to OpenSecrets data. The Cut Flowers Caucus is just one example of Capitol Hill's more niche collection of lawmakers. Other instances in the 116th Congress focus on areas ranging from political, ideological, regional, ethnic, and economic, including the Candy Caucus, the Civility and Respect Caucus, the Rock Caucus, the Small Brewers Caucus, the Term Limits Caucus, the Wrestling Caucus, and the Zoo and Aquarium Caucus. "I'd never heard of the Cut Flowers Caucus," Georgetown University government professor Michele Swers told the Washington Examiner with a laugh. The organizations serve different purposes, depending on the topic, she explained. "Caucuses allow members to take various public positions and advertise that an issue is important to them, but their profile obviously depends on what group you're talking about," Swers said. "We've seen how the House Freedom Caucus has attracted enough members to shift policy to the right, whereas being a member of the Problem Solvers Caucus makes them look bipartisan and provides them with the opportunity to tell their constituents they are interested in ensuring Washington works." The organizations additionally reflect broader trends, the professor added, citing the new Servicewomen and Women Veterans Caucus created this year following the election of a host of female lawmakers. George Mason University political science associate professor Jennifer Victor predicted more groups would form in the future. "Caucuses are growing; there are more of them every year. The growth is driven in part by outside industries, like flower growers," Victor said. "Often caucuses don't take up particular bills and opt not to push for legislation because they value bipartisan relationships and the informational benefits of the group over controversial policy."... https://www.washingtonexaminer.com/news/cut-flowers-caucus-blooms-on-capitol-hill
