5 ways flowers can help your business

Business owners have a lot of responsibilities demanding their time and attention. So why worry about flowers? Flowers are a great addition to your business strategy. They can transform corporate spaces, strengthen professional relationships, elevate your branding, and even boost mood and productivity. Here are 5 ways you can incorporate flowers to add value to your business.

1. Corporate Floral Subscriptions

   We've all had the displeasure of sitting under fluorescent lights in a bleak, lifeless room. Flowers make spaces feel more welcoming. Weekly floral arrangements at front desks, lobbies, and other common areas add color and life to your business environment while communicating elevated brand value to clients.
   

2. Team Building Flower Arranging Workshops

   There are plenty of options for corporate team building exercises so why choose flower arranging? It's no secret that traditional team building exercises have a reputation for being uncomfortable, corny, and loathed by employees. Let's be honest - nobody enjoys trust falling into the arms of John from finance. Floral workshops provide a relaxed setting for your team to bond over a shared learning experience and build connection naturally. Participants tend to encourage each other and build rapport as they share their creations. In our workshops we often hear exchanges between attendees asking each other how they got a certain look, or discussing what they like about one another's arrangements. Best of all, they get to enjoy their arrangements for days after the event!
   

3. Strengthening Business Relationships

   As business owners we all have those important people that show us continued support. Sending a "thank you" flower arrangement or plant gift is a great way to show appreciation for their assistance, time, donations, or mentorship. Sending a corporate floral gift is also a great way to build rapport with new clients or business contacts.
   

4. Gala's, Company Parties, & Corporate events

   Have you ever been to a corporate event where a company DIY'd their flowers? (Yes, people can tell.) It doesn't inspire confidence in your company or energize your attendees to see flowers haphazardly shoved into a vase. Flowers can transform a space and set the tone of the event. Establishing a flower budget and hiring a florist (hopefully us!) is a worthwhile way to ensure professional quality arrangements that are designed to fit your event.
   

5. Employee Gifts

   Employees are the lifeblood of every organization. Showing employee appreciation makes a huge difference in company morale and productivity. Important occasions like birthdays, bereavement, promotions, holidays, and retirement are all opportunities to show your employees they matter. Looking for a Pittsburgh florist? Contact us today.
