BANGKOK, THAILAND — Thailand is the third country, after the Philippines and Vietnam, in which FlowerStore Group is now offering their affordable wide assortment of flowers and gift categories.
“We are very excited to continue with our regional expansion by launching our new gifting platform – POTICO.co.th in Thailand. We have decided to launch under our new brand, Potico, as it also represents the expansion of our product portfolio: from having only flowers to offering gourmet foods, drinks, personalized items, plush toys, plants, jewelry… and many more!” says Saul Molla, founder, and CEO. “We offer budget-friendly bouquets and gifts, multiple payment methods including cash-on-delivery, and comprehensive customer care including free same-day delivery, whereas traditional flower and gifting delivery services offer expensive bouquets, long delivery times, and extra hidden shipping fees.”
With Valentine’s Day fast approaching, there couldn’t be a better time to reach new customers. FlowerStore Group is expecting their volumes for this day to grow exponentially, as the region reopens.
“The point of Valentine’s Day is to express your love. It is not so much about the gift as it is about demonstrating that you have made an effort. Your wife, girlfriend, mother, or any loved one would be overjoyed and remember that for the rest of their lives,” Molla said.
FlowerStore Group is observing a huge increase in supply costs ahead of this special date. For instance, red roses are now five times more expensive in the Philippines vs a normal day. With this being expected, the company has developed a whole collection of preserved roses and other eternal flowers that can last for years and are not subject to last-minute price increases. Hence, still offering customers possible affordable solutions.
For those on the side of unrequited love or still haven’t professed their love for some reason but wanted to, the company has also launched an initiative called “Secret Admirer” as a way to deliver the message. As long as one knows the recipient’s contact information (or even just the social media handle), their team will reach out directly to the person and take care of the whole delivery process.
