Why print works for florists & gifting
Floristry is hyper-seasonal and gift-driven, with demand spiking sharply around Valentine's, Mother's Day, the holidays and prom and wedding season, and print reaches local gift-buyers right before those dates. Its visual appeal sells the arrangements, and a keepable ad with order deadlines and delivery info doubles as a reminder. Lifestyle, community and food sections reach local households, and timed bursts before each occasion drive the orders a florist depends on.
