Flower Market Circular – Mother’s Day campaign wrap
12 May 2016
Happy Mother’s Day!
This year, the Melbourne Market Authority and Flowers Victoria joined forces to develop a Mother’s Day campaign to drive enquiry to local florists. The campaign continued the messages developed under the power of the flower banner with our key message “Nothing says I love you like flowers.”
Initial reports from growers and florists are positive, with strong sales reported.
This years Mother’s Day campaign focused on providing:
- Point of sale and digital material for florists to use;
- Social media advertising – to drive people to their find their local florist; and
- A competition – sharing flowers to all the mums out there.
Over 155 florists and greengrocers collected their Mother’s Day promotional pack from the pop-up stand at the Melbourne Market. With even more downloading the campaign elements online from www.poweroftheflower.com.au
To drive custom to florists, the sponsored advertising on Facebook generated good results over the 9 day campaign. Over 178,000 people were exposed to the Market Fresh “Nothing Says I love you” campaign, 2,391 taking action, generating 618 clicks through to “Find a local Florist” on the Market Fresh website. A good result overall.
