The COVID-19 pandemic delivered a hammer blow to daily life, disrupting everything from the workplace to home life — but the floral industry is uniquely positioned to gain market share and build stronger relationships with consumers now for one simple reason: “Flowers are palliative and can help restore health to stressed consumers,” said retail expert Jim Dion of Dionco Inc. in his opening keynote July 27 during the Society of American Florists’ Reinvention Summit. “Flowers soothe. They’re beautiful and calming and can help ground consumers. The destruction of routine has been stressful for every consumer and getting back to normal is even more stressful because everything is different now.”
