Lookalike Audiences
Create audiences that mirror your best customers. Upload your customer list or use website visitors to find similar high-value prospects. Target 1-3% lookalike for best results.

Show users the exact arrangements they viewed on your website. This personalized approach dramatically increases conversion rates, especially for higher-priced wedding packages.
Video Ads
Video outperforms static images by 3-5x. Show arrangement design process, venue setup time-lapses, or customer unboxing moments. Keep videos 15-30 seconds for best engagement.
Instagram & Facebook Stories
Stories are full-screen, immersive, and feel native to the platform. Perfect for showcasing daily fresh blooms, same-day specials, and behind-the-scenes content. Use interactive elements like polls and questions.

Capitalize on holidays and events like Valentine's Day, Mother's Day, weddings, and funerals when flower demand peaks.
Reconnect with users who visited your site but didn't convert. These warm leads convert 3-5x better than cold traffic.
