Successful brands appeal to a multi-generational audience, but how do you market your floral designs to different ages groups?

Get ideas and inspiration during “Age-Appropriate Allure: Fashion Your Flowers to Fit Four Generations,” the Keynote presentation at SAF Palm Springs 2018, the Society of American Florists’ 134th Annual Convention, Sept. 12-15 at the Westin Mission Hills in Rancho Mirage, California.

Jackie Lacey, AIFD, CFD, PFCI, Floriology’s director of education and industry relations, and Renato Sogueco, PFCI, BloomNet’s vice president of digital strategy and education, will examine generational shopping habits and design styles and offer tips on how to market to consumers raised in a digital age. Their presentation includes a design demonstration using the same flowers to appeal to Boomers, Gen X-ers, Millennials and Young Adults (Gen Z), and pointers on marketing opportunities for each.

“We must be prepared to have a marketing effort that is geared to our target consumer base while easily adaptable for the other generations,” Lacey said. “This will allow us to take a single concept that can be changed to fit each target. This is working smarter instead of harder. Know your client. It is a must.”

Sogueco pointed to a popular misconception that only millennials have command of technology from a general perspective.

“Believe it or not, I get a lot of basic questions from millennials about their smartphones, website marketing, computer usage, etc.,” Sogueco said. “What I do know is where they have an advantage is the usage of specific apps on mobile devices and social media. Snapchat is definitely a millennial domain and even an extent Instagram. But when you talk about Twitter, Facebook other well-known apps — all demographics have a firm command.”

Lacey and Sogueco’s presentation is among the 51 educations sessions and events at SAF Palm Springs 2018. Learn more and register now at safnow.org/annual-convention. Early-bird registration ends Aug. 17 and saves you $205.
