What do a unique store app and loyalty program, a new floral holiday, a rebranded bridal spin-off business, and a partnership with a Major League Baseball team have in common?

They’re all marketing concepts that earned members of the Society of American Florists major exposure in their communities, double-digit sales growth, and the coveted title of Floral Management Marketer of the Year.

SAF’s Floral Management magazine honors members with its Marketer of the Year award. If you are a member retailer, wholesaler or grower whose marketing efforts have been successful, then you’re a candidate.

  • Recognition during the Marketing Breakfast at SAF Palm Beach 2017
  • Cover story detailing the marketing efforts in the September issue of Floral Management.
