Industry Disrupter


The big names over the past few decades are well known in the floral industry: Florist Transworld Delivery (FTD), 1800Flowers.com, and Teleflora. As a florist, you know of the many challenges associated with going into business with the "the Big Three." But, I will not focus on the negative or the positive. I will just say that the complaints from your local florist may have finally been heard. Enter, BLOOMNATION. BloomNation, is a new company that focuses on the local florist's unique products, and markets these products on a national level. If you have not heard of it before, I would read the above link and comment what you think.

10 Year Anniversary

South Jersey Florist just had a birthday! We are now 10 years old as of March 29, 2014. Celebrate with us with an extra smile today. As we all know, its getting harder and harder for the Mom & Pop shops to make it in this economy. That is precisely why we ask for that smile. This anniversary is a silent triumph that the small business owner can still endure an unforgiving economy. 

The best part of all, is we thriving! Let's recap for the new audience. South Jersey Florist, henceforth referred to as SJF, has won The Best of the Knot for 2013 and 2014. We were the runner-up in the Best of the Press for the Atlantic City Press for 2013. We doubled the number of Facebook likes since 2012. We have added a Twitter, Pintrest, Instagram, and Google+ presence. Our new loyalty program, Loyal Blocks, is off to a great start with 25 member in the first month. Our sales are up, our customer retention is up, and the savings we pass onto our customers is at an all time high. SJF is a powerhouse to be reckoned with in the years ahead. We hope you will continue to support us with your well wishes and business. 

Thank You for 10 GREAT Years!
