FLORIST – INTERNATIONAL WOMEN’S DAY
How can a florist anticipate to International Women’s day?
In an article from FloraHolland some creative suggestions were given which could be used for Woman’s day.
The arise of Women’s day was because women start to fight for their own rights. As a florist you can use this as a reason for a male buyer to show his wife she is important for him by buying her flowers. But also female buyers can be encouraged, for example in solidarity for women elsewhere in the world who are less fortunate. A portion of your proceeds can go to a foundation who are dedicated to emancipation.
