The floral industry knows that flowers make people happy, but SAF has groundbreaking research studies – in partnership with major universities and researchers in human emotion – that scientifically prove that flowers have a positive effect on our emotional well-being.
Having the science behind flowers and happiness is a great message to give consumers and the media during Petal it Forward. Here’s a few examples of messages to share:
- We’re members of the Society of American Florists and are participating in the #PetalItForward event to show our community the true power of flowers.
- #PetalItForward is a nationwide event taking place this week. We’re here in (name of town) spreading smiles.
- We want people to experience this firsthand, so we are giving two bouquets (or flowers) – one to keep, and one to share. We’re petalling it forward!
- There is a direct link between flowers and positive emotions. In fact, a Rutgers University study demonstrates that the presence of flowers makes us happy – creating instant delight and enhancing our life satisfaction.
- Flowers are also proven to provide a moment of calm. Research from the University of North Florida shows that living with flowers, even just for a few days, reduces stress.
- A nationwide survey conducted by the Society of American Florists revealed 84% of Americans say the best reason for receiving flowers is “just because.”
- The happiness expressed when giving flowers is just as strong as receiving: 80% of Americans say, “Receiving flowers from others makes me feel happy.” 88% say, “Giving flowers to others makes me feel happy.”
