You’ve come to the right place. You can’t go wrong with sending flowers, especially for a special birthday treat! But just what kind of flowers?

First off, the official flower of January is the carnation. Carnations come in dozens of colors, so pick a favorite color of the one having a birthday and send a bouquet of carnations just for them.

And if those suggestions simply won’t do, then check out this list of January Birthday colors! Depending on which day the birthday falls, find flowers or mixed flower arrangements that use those colors.

December 23rd – January 1st –> Red
January 2nd – January 11th –> Orange
January 12th – January 24th –> Yellow
January 25th – February 3rd –> Pink

Hope this guide to sending January birthday flowers has helped narrow down your birthday gift ideas. No matter what you choose, be sure to send your flowers through a local florist. It’s the best deal for everyone!

What Is YOUR Birthday Promotion?

June 16, 2010 by Mandy Maxwell 2 Comments

A great promotion idea to think about this summer is a birthday promotion. With the easy advertising abilities of Facebook and other social networks, it’s easy to accomplish. Check out these two grate ideas to get you started! If you already have some sort of birthday promo going, let us know in the comments below!

Coupon/Discount Promotion

Just a little gift from you, the florist, only on their birthday. This can be a great on-going promotion you can share on your flower shop’s Facebook Page. Update your status weekly to say “Come in on your birthday and receive a $X coupon!” This is a fantastic way to get your Facebook audience into your shop! Plus, this encourages word-of-mouth advertising, which is much more credible than any other form.

Free Birthday Flowers

Offer a free birthday boutonniere to your customers on their birthdays. It doesn’t have to be a masterpiece, just a quick, one-flower-and-ribbon boutonniere to show everyone “HEY! I’m special, it’s my birthday!” Let them pick the ribbon color to make it more ‘personalized’. They will be the envy of their office!

These promotions won’t discourage sending birthday flowers; rarely does one send birthday flowers to themselves. Just make sure the person actually having the birthday is the one who gets whatever type of discount you choose to give by checking ID. While they’re in your flower shop, tell them about upcoming promotions or events you might be having. Also suggest them to ‘like’ you on Facebook if they have not already. Everyone who sees the boutonniere will ask about it and they will tell them all about their favorite florist — you. “Add her on Facebook, she’s always posting great promotions and deals!”

Facebook tells you when your friends birthdays are coming up. Simply post a little note on their wall about your Birthday Promotion a few days before their big day.
