Organize arrangements by occasion
Flower shop customers search by occasion more than by flower type. Organize your categories around the reason for the purchase, and keep one category for loose flowers or complementary products.
- Birthdays
- Love and anniversaries
- Sympathy
- Births and baby showers
- Seasonal bouquets
- Extras: balloons, chocolates, plush toys
Sizes, colors, and add-ons
The same arrangement can come in several sizes or colors. Use variants with their own price and photo so the customer sees exactly what they'll get: '12 roses', '24 roses', 'red', 'white'.
Extras raise your average ticket. With product add-ons you can offer 'box of chocolates', 'balloon', or 'glass vase' with their price, so the customer adds them with one tap when ordering.
The card message, without mistakes
The card message is the most personal part of the order, and a wrong name ruins the moment. Add a text personalization field to your arrangements, like 'Card message', so the customer writes it themselves and it arrives as-is inside the order.
If needed, add another field for the recipient's name. Everything stays on record and you don't depend on copying messages from the chat.
Clear home deliveries
In a flower shop, delivery is part of the product. Set up your shipping methods with fees, such as home delivery and same-day express, and offer store pickup for those who prefer to come by.
State your delivery hours and the cutoff for same-day orders in your store. That clarity avoids promises you can't keep on dates like Valentine's Day or Mother's Day.
Photos that reflect what the customer will receive
Photograph your real arrangements, not internet images. Customers want to know what they'll receive, and the gap between photo and actual bouquet is the most common complaint in online flower shops.
If your flowers change with the season, say so in the description: 'flowers may vary based on availability while keeping the style and color palette'. Transparency prevents complaints.
A design worthy of your brand
Flower shops sell beauty, and your store should convey it. In Vallen you can choose fonts, colors, and styles so your catalog looks elegant and consistent with your brand. With the Growth plan you get custom themes, your own background, and a custom domain.
You can see an example in our demo flower shop, designed with a luxury black and pink aesthetic.
With a digital catalog your flower shop sells around the clock, receives orders with the card message written by the customer and the full address, and spends less time in chat and more creating arrangements.
Organize by occasion, offer extras, and define your deliveries well. Your customers will come back for every special date.
