Flower Council launch Almost-Mother's Day campaign


Traditionally Mother’s Day is the ultimate occasion to give flowers. For retail this brings a sales peak but also an extra workload.

In an attempt to ‘stretch’ and extend the Mother’s Day event the Flower Council are introducing Almost-Mother’s Day.

“In this campaign we focus on everyone who knows a mother-to-be to surprise her with flowers. Through this campaign we remind the rest of the UK that it’s almost Mother’s Day: an occasion that calls for flowers,” said a Flower Council spokesperson.

The campaign will be communicated through online media and on national radio during the period – February 25 to March 10.  Garden Centres who play Garden Radio in-store will also be able to join in the promotion as a follow on from the sucessfull "Christmas Tree Out - Houseplant In" campaign this January.

Free store POS material is available to download from http://www.flowercouncil.co.uk/retail/Calender/Details/almost-mothers-day
