Sending Flowers on Cyber Monday With Flora2000

CHICAGO, IL--(Marketwired - Nov 27, 2013) -  As Cyber Monday approaches, online retailers, including Flora2000, are preparing for what could be the heaviest day on record for online spending. According to comScore, shoppers in 2012 spent upwards of $1.46 billion. "We want to remind shoppers that amidst the craziness of the holiday season flowers are one of the most appreciated gifts they can give," said Mahima Narula, Business Head, Flora2000, which delivers to around 190 countries.

On Cyber Monday, Flora2000 will offer a 35 percent off discount on all products, another reason for discount-savvy shoppers to add flowers to their lists. Plus, for those who want to pre-book flowers for delivery on Christmas, the same steep discount will apply for any orders made on Cyber Monday, another way to lessen holiday stress. "Often, shoppers focus on big-ticket items like TVs and computers, but nothing compares to a beautiful arrangement of fresh flowers, especially during what is often a chaotic time," said Narula. "We like to think that our flowers bring a little sanity to the holiday season."

Indeed, Flora2000 has seen its online activity triple on Cyber Monday compared to the standard Monday sales over the last two years. "From 2011 to 2012, we saw a ten percent increase in sales on Cyber Monday," said Narula. "In 2011, red and white arrangements were popular. The following year, we saw a spike in Poinsettia Plants, a commonly chosen Christmas product."

Flora2000 makes what The Checkout coined "couch commerce" an enjoyable way to shop for flowers and other luxury gifts. "Entering a store, especially on or after a holiday can be a nightmare," added Narula. "The discriminating shopper who loves flowers often loves sending them as well. With our selection, impeccable customer service, and guaranteed international delivery, we make the process practically effortless."

Whether it's the beautiful roses in the "Fantasia" bouquet, the arrangement of radiant tulips in a white ginger vase, or the too-hot-to handle "Red Heat" bouquet of red roses, gerberas, asters, and mini carnations, Flora2000 offers a colorful online browsing experience. "We not only take the stress out of holiday shopping," said Narula, "but we also create a shopping experience that's pleasing to the eye, easy on the wallet, and seamless from start to finish."
