Vampire-themed Flowers? Why not!?

One of the hottest trends out right now just so happens to be vampires… Twilight, Trueblood, Vampire Diaries, the list goes on and on of newly popular vampire shows and movies. With Halloween coming up, why not use this new vampire trend to your advantage!

Easy Halloween Flowers Promotion

Create a special for your shop called Love At First Bite or something catchy. Use deep red roses and other dark colors, especially black, to create something unique and contemporary. Black, red or silver wire can be used as fun accents. Remember, most vampire fans are going to be around 12-30 years old, so have as much fun as you want.

Shop around your local crafts store for a few cheap Halloween decorations like vampire teeth, small skeletons, or anything black and red. Buy some inexpensive, black fishnet or lacy stockings to use around your vase or as ribbon.

Your vampire-themed floral would be an easy choice for a guy looking send flowers to his Twihard girlfriend.  This design would make a stunning sight at a Halloween party, or a great hostess gift!

To promote your newest special, post LOTS of pics on Facebook. (That’s definately where your vampire fans would be!) Also put photos of your festive Halloween flowers on your website. Use your pictures to make a quick flyer to advertise your special and hang them anywhere young people gather. (Local bookstores, college campuses, etc.) Remember to price it reasonably for this younger demographic to keep them flying off the shelves!

Vampire Lovers! If you are a vampire lover looking for flowers like the ones described in this post, call your local florist and recommend this article to them! I’m positive they will work with you to create something drop dead gorgeous (pun intended)!

FSN’s Favorite Flower Arrangement For October

Hocus Pocus Halloween Floral Design

Hocus Pocus Halloween Floral Design

This month’s favorite flower arrangement was an easy choice for me. Our new Halloween design, Hocus Pocus has been my favorite ever since it was created! The color palette used in this is such a stark contrast to the normal orange and black we usually associate with Halloween.

The bright green and dark purples mixed with the painted black pumpkins definitely remind me of a ghoulishly-grand witch. This floral design would make THE PERFECT hostess gift for any Halloween party.

Halloween may be weeks away, but its not too late to get in the mood! Send Halloween-themed flowers to your friend or loved one today!

What Are You Doing With Your Leftover Halloween Merchandise?

Flower Shop Network recently learned of one florist’s creative idea for a post-Halloween celebration. Two big thumbs up to Family Roots Nursery in Dale Indiana for bringing fun, family, and florists together!
Andrea Peters of Family Roots Nursery shared her story of the “Witches Night Out” party that they threw for their customers. We were so excited about the idea that we knew we had to share it.

This year our shop hosted a “Witches Night Out” party for our customers.  It was a great opportunity to liquidate remaining fall & Halloween merchandise to prepare for Christmas.  We had specials all thorough the shop, witches brew, refreshments, door prizes & free broom parking.  Door prizes were awarded to the best dressed witch & best decorated broom. Attached is a photo of the dressed up employees (L-R Owners Aaron & Andrea Peters, Sue Kissling employees).  The event was considered a success & a good night to just have clean fun!!  Our customers are already asking if it will be an annual event!!

What creative thoughts are flowing through your head? Flower Shop Network is always happy to share a fun idea that helps show how creative florists are. If you have an idea, please comment below or email bjackson@flowershopnetwork.com.
