Should you send him flowers for Valentine’s Day? Valentine’s Day is fast approaching. What are you getting for the special man in your life? Why not flowers?
Traditionally, flowers were considered a gift for women, but times are changing. With such a variety of options available, you just have to find the right fit for your man. There are a few things to keep in mind when selecting flowers for men:
1. When selecting colors think vibrant and high-energy, or green and natural, instead of pastels and pinks.
2. When choosing a style, opt for an arrangement that looks a bit more edgy, like modern art, for the contemporary man. Is he a nature lover? Select a more natural and earthy arrangement. Find a style that suits his personality.
3. Does he have a hobby or special interest? Ask your florist about ways to incorporate that into the arrangement.
4. Still not sure your guy would enjoy flowers? Consider a plant. Something that can add a little nature to his work space. Let him know that having plants in the office is good for the air quality, and that you want to improve the quality of his life, because he improves the quality of yours.
If you carefully select an arrangement with him in mind, he will feel the same way you do when he sends you flowers – special and loved.
I get it that this is part of your marketing strategy, but who are you to dictate what is appropriate for guys? To suggest that there are rules …”There are a few things to keep in mind when selecting flowers for men:” is ridiculous. What limited thinking! Men love all types and styles of flowers as much as women. Surely it’s up to the sender to suggest the type of message they wish to send!
