Customer Records and Occasion Reminders for Florists
The florist CRM keeps each customer’s past orders, preferences, delivery addresses and occasion dates. Reminders go out a few days before a recurring date so the customer can order in time.
What is kept on each customer
Reminders before the date
Customers with an occasion coming up appear on a list for the counter. A message goes out three or four days ahead, so the order can still be placed. The channel is set per customer.
Lists the CRM produces
- Occasions falling in the coming month, with last year’s order beside each
- Regulars who have stopped coming in
- Customers who order for several different people
- Whom to ring before Valentine’s week, ranked by yearly spend
Frequency of messages
Reminders are tied to dates the customer has given. How often anything else is sent is the shop’s decision. Fewer messages get read more often, and no setting enforces that restraint for you.
Frequently asked questions
Where do the occasion dates come from?
Mostly from the orders themselves. A customer who orders for an anniversary has given the date, and it is saved against the record. Dates already kept in a diary or a phone are imported at go-live.
Can the counter see a customer’s history while billing?
Yes. Entering the phone number brings up past orders and preferences before the bill is made, so staff can use them during the sale.
How do reminders reach the customer?
By WhatsApp, SMS or email, as recorded for that customer. The channel sits on the record. Counter staff do not pick it each time.
Can our existing phone contacts be imported?
Yes, from a phone export or an Excel sheet, along with any occasion dates noted against a name. Duplicate entries are cleaned before go-live.
