Brands in Blooms

🌟 Grow With the Next Generation of Gardeners 🌟 The future is calling, and your garden center—or your customers—can’t afford to ignore it. On January 14th, the Next-Gen Masterclass begins and is sponsored by Prides Corner Farms, Inc. & Walla Walla Nursery Company Inc. bringing together over 65 garden centers (and counting) and 100+ marketing professionals in our thriving Brand Bloom Community. 💡 Why this matters: 35 garden centers and 111 participants from our first cohort are already ahead, equipped with proven strategies to connect with Millennial and Gen Z gardeners—who represent a staggering $1.6 trillion in spending power. Forward-thinking nurseries are sponsoring their garden center customers to participate, strengthening partnerships and ensuring their success. ⏳ What happens if you don’t join? Garden centers that fail to adapt risk being left behind in a rapidly changing market. Without the tools to attract and engage the next generation, they could miss out on the future of gardening altogether. 🌿 Don’t let your business or customers fall behind. Invest in the knowledge and community that will transform the industry. 📩 DM us today to secure your spot or sponsor a customer before it’s too late! #gardencenters #marketinginhort #nextgenmasterclass #brandbloomcommunity #brandsinblooms #letsgrowtogether

The Secret to Winning in Retail? It’s All in the Feedback! 👇 Here’s a fact that might blow your mind: 👉 86% of consumers are willing to pay more for a better customer experience (Deloitte, 2024)…but a staggering 91% of unhappy customers will leave without saying a word. Silence might seem harmless, but in retail, it can be the loudest signal you’re losing ground. At Brands in Blooms, we believe that customer feedback isn’t just valuable, it’s transformative. It’s the foundation for creating unforgettable experiences that set your business apart in an increasingly competitive market. Here’s how we help businesses like garden centres, farm markets, and boutique retailers turn feedback into action: 1) Listen Intentionally: We design smart surveys to capture what your customers are really saying, both in-store and online. 2) Act Strategically: Insights aren’t enough. We help translate them into data-driven decisions that enhance marketing, optimize store layouts, and inspire innovative offerings. 3) Empower Teams: A happy, well-trained team creates happy customers. Our training programs, built on consumer feedback, ensure your staff delivers an experience that keeps shoppers coming back. 4) Build Loyalty: It’s not just about transactions, it’s about building a community of raving fans who choose YOU every time. Imagine this: A garden center struggling to attract the emerging generation because competitors are offering similar products at a lower price point starts listening to their customers. They make small but meaningful tweaks to the customer journey; like implementing experience zones, DIY stations, improving staff training and engagement, or launching loyalty programs. Within months they see a measurable increase in repeat visitors, glowing reviews, and word of mouth referrals. This isn’t just theory, it’s what happens when businesses put their customers at the center of every decision. Customer-centric businesses grow faster and last longer. The proof is in the numbers, and in the loyalty of your shoppers. 💬 How do you use customer feedback to elevate your business? Let’s spark a conversation, drop your insights below! When you listen better, you grow better. #CustomerExperience #RetailInnovation #BrandsInBlooms #CXMatters #GardenCentres #CustomerFeedback #TeamTraining
