Real Change in the Floral Industry

February 07, 2020

Real Change in the Floral Industry

In just 7 days it will be February 14, 2020... Valentine's Day. I know some believe this day to be fake and a "Hallmark" holiday, but to many it's their livelihood.  Millions upon millions of dollars will be spent on flowers, chocolate, and other gifts for loved ones to express feelings of love and friendship. According to research, Valentine's Day is the highest revenue generating holiday in the floral industry.

Whether or not one supports this or not, it's a reality to so many local businesses across the country.  This holiday pays mortgages, and dental bills, and car payments, and so much more. But, that's not what I want to focus on today.  I want to reflect on the milestones LORA Bloom has made in recent months.  

I haven't been shy about the challenges LORA endured in 2019. January was particularly rough with many technical difficulties to launch LORABloom.com. Naturally, it would be easy to be hard on myself, but I've really tried to focus on the end game.  That's led us to today.  It's time to reflect on many accomplishments.

LORA has had some orders trickle in.  Thank you if you were one of those customers!  Site traffic is slowly picking up too.  I follow this closely each day... often multiple times a day!  (Ok, I can literally check this metric like 30 times a day.) 

I also want to note a few other important stats. 

As of today:

  •  LORA is available in 88 zip codes! 
  •  LORA currently offers 46 separate floral arrangements including gift baskets!
  •  LORA covers 30 cities across the Seattle and Puget Sound Area!
  •  LORA currently has 9 Florist Partners!
  •  LORA remains very focused with 1 mission.... to positively impact the floral industry in the United States.
  •  LORA proudly contributes ZERO additional floral foams to our already fragile planet!

That is something AWESOME to celebrate!  I really look forward to seeing these numbers increase even more by Mother's Day in May!

February 26, 2022

Wow, the world has changed in two years time!  It feels like decades have passed, but it's only been 24 months.  One thing is for sure, I feel older (uggg) and like the world took a bite out of my LORA Bloom vision and spit it out.

A Floral Tribute to RBG | Update
A Floral Tribute to RBG | Update

March 21, 2021

The Floral Tribute to RBG project is quite ambitious for a variety of reasons.  Because LORA Bloom represents a collective of local florists, six LB florists have been selected to design a floral replica from RBG's neck collar collection.  Then, the garment to be worn will be an actual black judicial robe and covered with black flowers and botanicals. No easy task!  Reconstructing this basic robe is local style influencer, Riva La Diva who will also be the model. Lastly, the collection will be photographed by Missy Palacol Photography.
