Ok, let's walk through this AI journey together...
What does AI have to do with my floral business?
Don't worry the robots are not taking over!
If you are like some of the local florists that we talk to on a daily basis, you may sometimes experience some of the daily struggles of running a successful floral business.
How many of these have you ever thought:
There is not having enough time to respond to all of your customer reviews
Feeling stuck in a rut when trying to name or describe your new beautiful custom floral design.
Feeling nervous when yet another customer needs help on the phone with their card message — how do you say the right thing for their moment?
Another monthly statement delivered, but what is the analysis really saying — is your business on the right growth trajectory?
These are all perfect opportunities for AI to come alongside you and help take this off your plate!
But how?
First — let's start with what AI is really good at:
Data Analysis & Pattern recognization
Natural Language Processing (NLP)
Predictive Analyitcs
Automation of Routine Tasks
Image and Speech Recognition
Personalization
Research & Development
So what?
This may sound good, but what does this have to do with your floral business?
Responding to Reviews
Your google reviews have been collecting dust for months. You have a lot of great reviews, but there is that sneaky 2 star review that is haunting you. You want to reply, but it's just not in you. (Maybe what you want to say is not what you should say). What if someone could take this off your plate completely?
Lovingly Reply natively integrates to your Google Business Profile and automatically replies to both positive and negative reviews on your behalf!
Naming Products & Social Captions
You've just designed a gorgeous new flower arrangement. You're admiring your work and can't wait to post the picture on your website and on social media... Everyone MUST see this amazing new design! But now you have to name your creation. And write a caption for social media. Maybe you already know what you want to say, but how should you say it? What's the best for SEO and for social engagement?
Lovingly's built in product upload section has AI integrated to help you name your product and write the description that appears on your website. We've also created a custom GPT for florists to help with social media captions and hashtags!
Writing Customer's Card Messages
A customer calls in on the phone. It's their 20 year anniversary. They tell you a bit of their life story and your heart melts. You know exactly what to design to compliment this big moment in their life. But then, they ask for help with what to say on their card message. The dread sets in because you want to help, but expressing the exact sentiment is tricky when its not your anniversary.
Lovingly not only has pre-built card messages that are ready to use, we also offer a fully guided card writing experience for gifters (that florists can use too!)
We've also created a custom GPT to help florists write the best darn card message for their customers.
