Flowers are always a good idea to brighten up the place, especially this holiday season! Everyone's busy bustling to set up their Christmas decorations and planning their Christmas parties and reunions, among other gift-giving celebrations.
For businesses, this season isn’t just filled with fun festivities, it’s also an opportunity for increased sales and revenue.
But with the holiday rush and heavy traffic that happens every year, along with the anticipated 20 percent increase in vehicle volume this season, many businesses are trying to catch up.
Ever wonder how flower shops like Bloomingails.ph, a Quezon-City-based flower and gift shop, are preparing for the Christmas rush?
Luckily, there’s always an option to have items delivered straight to everyone’s homes to avoid the hassle and being trapped in traffic jams. With Lalamove, all of this is possible for Bloomingails.ph.
Challenges this holiday season
“The demand is quite high, especially for our fresh mini pine trees, wreaths, and Christmas centerpieces. Our event styling business is very robust as well and it's a time for a lot of celebrations,” Bloomingails Chief Executive Officer (CEO) Abigail Ang-Santander said.
Due to the high demand, Bloomingails.ph faced one of the major challenges this season: heavy traffic. Aside from that, since they also handle delicate items, it’s also a struggle to ensure that their intricate flower arrangements are safely delivered and always arrive in excellent condition.
“Flowers, especially when already arranged or decorated, are very fragile. We always worry that our items may get damaged in transit and we don’t want our clients to experience that. This is why safe handling of our items is also our utmost priority,” she added.
But to ensure that the business continues to flourish and take on the needs of its clients, Bloomingails came up with a plan to beat the holiday rush.

Beating the holiday rush 101
“We [make sure to] prepare and send out orders very early or after rush hour and [ensure] that we are on top of inventory, [so we] don't have to do [a lot] of rush orders for [flowers and other gift items],” she added.
With Lalamove as their logistics partner, Bloomingails.ph has an upper hand in ensuring that they have seamless day-to-day delivery operations.
“[In the platform], I don't have to wait for the driver to come back to go on another errand. I can book multiple drops or multiple vehicles for our time-sensitive products to reach the customer on time,” the Bloomingails.ph CEO said.
When asked about their favorite feature in the app, she mentioned that the Trusted Driver feature has been useful. “We always need to make sure the deliveries are carefully delivered and the drivers are courteous to our [clients] despite being stuck in traffic the whole day,” she added.
