The 2014 P&P U.S. Consumer Floral Tracking Survey

Prince & Prince (P&P) has surveyed several thousand floral-buying households throughout the U.S. over the past decade, and most recently in Summer/ Fall of 2013 (update planned for Summer 2018, reporting later in 2019.)  The P&P analysis & reporting provided in this seminar gives floral industry members reliable and insightful floral market intelligence, and floral-channel competitive intelligence, to assist them in their business decisions.  The following details the type of market information provided in the seminar.

1)   Floral Purchasing Metrics - - Shows members of the floral industry the type of consumer who buys floral products, what they buy, where they buy, when they buy, why they buy, and how much they spend.  .  . Shows what has changed in consumer floral purchasing (for fresh cut-flowers & indoor potted plants) from 2007, to 2010, and thru 2013!  Consumer floral metrics tracked before & after the U.S. recession!  .  .  .  and findings profiled for five key regions of the U.S., and by key consumer demographics.

2)  Holidays, Events, and Occasions of Floral & Plant Purchases - -  Reveals the level of household flower & plant purchasing for Thanksgiving, Christmas, Valentine’s Day, Easter, Mother’s Day, Secretary’s Day, Birthdays, Anniversaries, Parties, Thank-You Gifting, Proms/Dances, Home Decoration, Self-Usage, and 10 other occasions & events, overall, and by specific age, education, income, urban and regional segments.   Shows how household  floral & plant purchasing for these holidays, events, and occasions has changed since the U.S. recession, and uncovers new opportunities for more sales.

3)   Floral Channel Market Shares - - Answers the question .  .  . “Of the total pie for consumer cut-flower and potted plant spending, what share do florist shops, supermarkets,  and other mass-marketers now claim?”  Identifies specific cut-flower & potted plant shares for Florist Shops, Supermarket Florists, Super-Discount Stores, Internet/ 800-Numbers, Garden Centers, Home/Hardware Centers, Wholesale Clubs, Farmer's Markets, Mail-Order Catalogs, Street Vendors, and Convenience Stores.  .  .  and identifies the change  in those floral-channel shares over the past decade!   Reveals the trending market strengths and weaknesses of key floral channels in the U.S. marketplace.

4)   Floral Channel Positioning - - Shows how consumers perceive the floral offerings, quality, selection, services, value and image of florist shops, supermarkets, Internet, and various other mass marketers (over 30 evaluative measures across 8  channel classes) . .  and reveals how that consumer perception toward the channels has changed over time. . . Shows the floral channels with improved market positioning. . . and those showing declines.   Identifies potential “remedies” to improve a channel’s market positioning.  

5)  Consumer Satisfaction & Buying Intentions at Each Channel  - - Reveals the floral channels that most satisfy consumers today. . . and shows those channels that largely generate dissatisfaction among consumers.  Identifies the floral channels that are retaining customers with repeat purchasing, and reveals those that are predicted to lose customers.   Also shows those channels that are gaining and losing floral customers at the same rate (Churning).

6)  Consumer "Drivers" to Floral Purchasing - - P&P not only provides floral industry members with descriptive information about consumer floral purchasing and perceptions toward the various floral channels, but P&P also creates structural models with the consumer floral database to reveal the floral-product offerings, services, and perceptions of the channels that drive  consumer satisfaction and purchasing at the floral channels.  .  .  currently, and how that compares to prior to the U.S. recession.  Shows the areas where retail florists, supermarkets, and other floral mass-merchants should now focus to gain more floral sales .  .  . and to gain repeat purchasing.   By revealing the priorities of the marketplace (drivers), market opportunities in serving those needs are readily identified.

7)  Demographic Profile of Floral-Buying Consumers - - Reveals the key consumer groups that are currently leading the U.S. floral trends.  .  . and shows how they have changed over the past decade.   Also shows how current floral-purchasing behavior varies across consumer demographic groups (five U.S. regions, age, income, education, urbanization, and household-composition groups).   Provides floral industry members the “macro” and “micro” view of consumer floral purchasing behavior in the U.S., and identifies the most lucrative target segments for floral buying!
