Mobile Marketing and the flower Industry


Times have changed and we must change with time; we must have immediate interactions with our customers to be able to exchange meaningful content from anywhere in the planet. Instant information is the most important thing in the future of marketing.
Mobile internet will overtake desktop usage and in the next few years, most mobile phones will be smart phones.
That is why flower shops are taking advantage of this and using mobile marketing to reach their flower customers.
Flower shops send advertising and reminders to their customers in text messages and flower shop owners receive flowers orders through text messages.
The use of mobile marketing is every day more important for florist worldwide. They can send pictures of flower arrangements and for a customer getting an immediate picture message of their love one receiving the flowers is priceless.
I remember receiving a test message from a soldier in Baghdad he wanted to place an order of five dozen roses to be delivered to his wife in Miami and as an special request he asked me to take a picture of his wife as she received his flowers and text it to him . I took the picture; and send it in a picture text message; he received the picture of his wife in Baghdad; and has referred many new customers to my business Perla farms
Mobile marketing is very important for florist to have happy customers. http://www.perlafarms.com

Behavioral Targeting In the Flower Industry

Times are changing and everything else change with time including the way to do business. I remember many years ago going to the local florist to buy a dozen roses for my significant other, but that since to be part of the past. Now We buy flowers online from our favorite online florist and event wedding flowers can be purchased on line from nationwide online flower wholesales like Perla Farms.
The flower industry is positive impacted by the new technological era. With the used of CRM and different technologies Florist and wholesalers keep record of their customers’ purchasing behaviors. They use this information to send the customers’ reminders of their special occasions like their anniversary, mother’s birthday and any flower-sending day. In addition, send the customers special offers.
Most customers like the flowers shops to keep their information and send them reminders and special discounts; but others feel that it is an invasion of privacy. I personally believe that behavioral targeting is a win win situation both for the customer and for the flower industry. Behavioral targeting helps the customer save money with special discount, saves the customer time by offering flowers at the click of a button. It also helps the flower industry to provide personalized customer service and save money in advertising by obtaining repeated business from delighted loyal customers.
