How a DIY flower gifting brand turned one‑time buyers into subscribers

Digital florists live with one‑off purchases and long gaps between orders. Shades of Spring unified scattered channels on Contlo and built up‑sell, cross‑sell and review journeys.

The challenge

Problem statement

Flower purchases are either one‑time or widely spaced, so the goal was converting visitors and first‑time buyers into recurring DIY‑kit subscribers and raising repeat frequency for everyone else.

The brand already used Email, WhatsApp, SMS and web push, but data was scattered across apps and most engagement came from standalone campaigns rather than automations.

Reviews, support ticketing and data collection lived in separate tools, so the channels could not work in harmony.
