Flower Council of Holland

We inspire and inform consumers about the beauty of flowers and plants and their positive effect on health and happiness. 

The Flower Council of Holland stimulates demand for flowers and plants in various European countries. We do this by communicating about flowers and plants, and by uniting the horticulture sector. 

Informing, inspiring and activating 

Each and every day, the Flower Council of Holland works with enthusiasm and dedication on public media campaigns, surprising PR activities, smart shopper marketing and inspiring content for social media. This includes making sure that flowers and plants remain the topic of conversation and inspiring consumers to purchase them for their own homes or as a gift. 

Sector communications 

Besides generic consumer communications, we also focus on sector communications in order to better familiarize the general public with the craftsmanship and innovative strength found within all of these horticultural companies. We share stories about initiatives, results and ambitions for a sustainable sector; narratives that contribute to a positive image of the horticulture sector. 

Collecting, sharing and helping to implement knowledge 

We have considerable knowledge about consumers, their preferences and their buying behavior. This is acquired by examining consumer behavior and conducting research. As a result, we know what consumers want and expect, what they buy and how they view the sector. It goes without saying that we use this knowledge to further improve the effectiveness of our campaigns and activities.

We are working on a pan European project called the Flower Effect; a message directly aimed at consumers as to why flowers bring joy as well as health and mental wellbeing benefits.  The plans for National Florist Day fit that messaging perfectly with the added benefit of allowing us to work closely with expert florists … an important sales channel as the flower effects will be even stronger with a customized bouquet, as only these flower magicians can create.
