Tag Mother's Day

What’s in a hat box? Sometimes, a hat. However, for many of us in the business of gift-giving, we recognise that hat boxes have been popularised as a packaging solution. Well-suited for elaborate floral arrangements, balloon bouquets, and teddy bear gifting, a hat box provides a versatile canvas for creativity. This iteration of hat box usage has taken a sharp turn from the history of the hat box, whose function has been both practically simple and socially complex.

Summary:

• The flower distribution chain has to be carefully managed to ensure the correct care of fresh-cut roses. 
• Growers need to take key sanitation and hydration steps before the flowers leave the farm, or they will not survive the trip to the florist.
• Once delivered to the florist, key hydration and nourishment steps are needed to ensure the quality of the flowers.
• When designing bouquets, florists need to be properly conditioning the flowers for further storage and transport.
• Good florists should provide consistent flower care advice and support to customers after they have purchased their product.

Fresh cut roses are one of the world’s most popular flowers and often take the spotlight on Valentine’s Day and Mother’s Day. During these special occasions, the demand for fresh cut roses skyrockets and superior care is required to get them from the farm to the customer, while still looking their best.

Preparing visual displays for special events is one skill that professional florists and retailers alike are very good at. Below we just want to give you a few tips for Mothers’ Day merchandising to help you ensure your displays give your customers the best experience.

Hence, we’ve compiled various styles of hamper baskets to help you choose the right one for all occasions.
