1. Bad timing: - This year, Valentine's Day falls on a Sunday, and that's a horrible thing for the industry, says Teleflora President Shawn Weidman. Consumers want flowers delivered to the office so the lucky recipient can show them off to colleagues. Having a bouquet sit on your kitchen table might be nice, but it's not as big a draw. "Florists will tell you it can be a 10-20% hit when it falls on a Sunday," Weidman says.
2. Women say it more with flowers: - It's no small secret in the industry that women usually dominate flower-buying. They tend to be the buyers of the bouquet for Mom on Mother's Day and the poinsettias on Christmas. But on Valentine's Day, almost 60% of the adults purchasing flowers as gifts are men, according to the NRF. That's what drove Teleflora to advertise during the Super Bowl this year -- to reach as many male eyeballs as possible.

3. Takes money to make money: - The one-day marathon for the flower industry might be great for sales but not so great for margins. 1-800-Flowers.com CEO Jim McCann says his company does about 10% of its annual sales in the run-up to Valentine's Day, but ...
... the extra infrastructure that's needed to pull it off raises costs. In the end, he says, it's worth it for the exposure: The period leading up to the holiday adds about 1 million new people to 1-800-Flowers.com's customer list.

4. Dialog con Flores:-Those dozen long-stems for your sweetheart probably came from South America. U.S. flower growers can grow perfect roses with supplemental lighting and temperature controls, says John Dole, professor of horticultural science at North Carolina State University. But those added costs make it cheaper to import them. It's not just roses either; most fresh flowers in the U.S. have been imported from South America.

5. The old standby:-Still No. 1 on Valentine's Day: red roses. That's probably because the main buyers are men, according to 1-800-Flowers.com's McCann. "Some would say they're not quite as creative as women," he notes. But then again, you probably already knew that. To top of page
