Flower shops · CRM

Hold the sender, the recipient and the delivery slot in one place.

A florist's CRM is the record of who sent flowers to whom, on what date and to which address, kept where the whole shop can read it. GullySales sets up the fields an order actually needs, including the recipient, and gets the counter, the phone and the rider working from the same record.

What CRM means

A CRM is the record where every enquiry, call and quote is kept against a customer, replacing separate notebooks, spreadsheets and memory. GullySales sets up or cleans an existing CRM and reports from it by enquiry outcome rather than by activity logged.

For flower shops

Where it usually goes wrong, and what we would do.

  • “The buyer and the recipient are two different people”

    The husband pays and the wife receives, and next year you want both names against one address. A contact record with a single name loses half the order.

  • “The delivery slot is a field, not a scribbled note”

    Before six, at the reception desk, after the ceremony. Written as free text it gets missed by the rider, and a wreath arriving late is not a small mistake.

  • “A wedding is a file, not a line in a diary”

    Colour palette, venue, mandap size, the planner's number and the advance stages all belong on one record that four months of conversation can be read out of.

What we do

What we deliver for flower shops.

Every deliverable, what it covers for you, and the result it is there to produce. Nothing here is an extra.

  1. Fields that match a flower order

    Sender, recipient, delivery address and landmark, occasion, date and slot, the arrangement, the card message, advance and balance.

    Result: The rider, the counter and the owner all read the same order.

  2. One record whether the order came by phone, counter, chat or website

    Every enquiry logged in the same place, so the order book stops being spread across a diary, a phone and an inbox.

    Result: Nothing is promised twice and nothing is forgotten on a slow day.

  3. A wedding and event file kept apart from bouquet orders

    A longer record holding the venue, the planner, the palette, each quote version sent and the payment stages agreed.

    Result: Four months of conversation can be picked up by whoever is free.

  4. Standing corporate orders entered as recurring records

    Hotel, office and clinic arrangements set as a repeating order with the day, the vase and the contact who signs for it.

    Result: A weekly arrangement is never missed because one person was away.

  5. A recipient list built as you fulfil orders

    Names and addresses of everyone who received flowers, with the occasion and who sent them, gathered from work you are doing anyway.

    Result: Next year's reminder goes to the sender with the address already in it.

  6. Counter training on the fields that cannot be blank

    A short session and a printed rule, so a rushed Valentine's order still carries an address, a slot and a phone number.

    Result: The record survives your busiest week.

  7. Orders by occasion, area and value read against the baseline

    Same-day against event orders, the areas you deliver to most, and repeat senders, all set beside the baseline recorded before work started.

    Result: You can tell whether the weddings or the bouquets are growing.

How the result is measured

  • Enquiries logged in the CRM
  • Data completeness
  • Reports generated from CRM data

Recorded as a baseline before work starts, so every later report has an honest comparison.

What to record, and when

What a flower shop should record about every order, and whether it needs software yet.

Occasion and the date it matters
Pick from a list: birthday, anniversary, wedding, funeral, hospital, festival, corporate. Add the date the flowers must arrive. The occasion changes what you offer and how you speak to the buyer.
Recipient name, address and landmark
Write the recipient and a delivery address with a landmark and a phone number the rider can call. A bouquet that fails at the gate is an order lost, and the customer remembers it.
Message on the card, word for word
Copy the card message exactly as given, and note whether to say who it is from. Some senders prefer to stay unnamed, and funeral cards need care, so read it back to the customer when the order is taken.
Wedding and event brief
Keep these in a separate file: venue, date, set-up time, the stage, mandap or table pieces, the amount paid and the person who confirms on the day. A wedding is not a larger bouquet order.
Standing orders from offices and hotels
For a corporate customer, record the delivery day, the arrangement size, the vase to collect and the person who approves the invoice. Repeat orders make a florist's income steadier.
Do you need software yet?
A spreadsheet is enough for one shop where the same person takes orders. Move to a shared tool when phone, chat and counter orders arrive together. The recipient's details belong to your customer, so use them for delivery only.

Who it is for

This is written for these flower shops.

  • Neighbourhood flower shops
  • Wedding and event florists
  • Corporate and hotel flower suppliers
  • Online flower delivery services
  • Florists specialising in funeral and sympathy arrangements
  • Florists inside malls and commercial complexes

Not for

It is not the right fit if.

  • You take a handful of orders a day and know every customer, where a notebook already works.
  • Staff will not enter the recipient and slot at the counter, so the record would be incomplete.
  • You want a system to remind customers of dates they never agreed to share.

How it works

How the CRM work runs

The work itself, in order. How an engagement starts, from your brief to a written scope, is set out on our method page.

  1. 1

    Map the sales process

    We sit with the people who sell and write down how a deal moves from enquiry to payment, including where it stalls.

  2. 2

    Agree stages, fields and owners

    Each stage gets a name your team already uses and a proof that the deal has left it. We agree which fields are required at which stage, and who may change what.

  3. 3

    Build on a copy

    Pipeline, fields and views are built on a trial copy where the CRM offers one, or in a separate pipeline where the plan allows. Live work stays untouched.

  4. 4

    Connect channels, then switch on automations

    Channels are connected first. Each automation is then switched on separately, so a misfiring rule is easy to find.

  5. 5

    Test with real deals

    The people who will use the CRM run open deals through it. Gaps are fixed before the whole team switches over.

  6. 6

    Switch over and trim

    Once real use shows which fields stay empty and which stages nobody uses, those are cut and the handover record is updated.

Where this fits

Three pieces of sales work, in this order.

This work sits inside sales management. A target, a review routine and someone who owns the number.

  1. Step 1

    Sales audit

    Find where deals are being lost and what to fix first.

    Start here if you cannot say where orders are lost.

  2. Step 2

    Sales process design

    One written way to sell, from first enquiry to repeat order.

    Start here if every salesperson sells differently.

  3. Step 3 · you are here

    Sales management

    A target, a review routine and someone who owns the number.

    Start here if the team has targets and no routine.

FAQ

Questions owners ask before they call.

Not here? More answers, or ask on WhatsApp.

Tell us what you need
Is a spreadsheet enough for a single shop?
For a small shop, often yes, as long as the recipient, the address and the slot are separate columns and everyone works from the same copy. Move to a CRM when two people take orders at once, or when you want reminders sent out of the record.
Can we record who received the flowers without upsetting anyone?
You already hold the delivery address to do the job. Keep what the order needs, tell people why you keep it, and delete it when asked. Do not sell the list, and do not message a recipient who never contacted you.
A customer's anniversary comes round every year. Can we remind them?
Yes, if they gave you the date and agreed to hear from you. Record the occasion, the date and the agreement. Send one short message ahead of the date from the shop's own number, and stop when asked. Do not message a recipient who never dealt with you.
Is it worth moving our old order register into a sheet?
Enter customers who order for a recurring occasion, such as a yearly anniversary or a standing office order, and let the rest stay in the book. Record the occasion, the usual arrangement and the area. A smaller, accurate list is more useful than a long copy of the register.
How much does it cost?
There is no price list, because the work differs by business. The fee is scoped after we have read your brief and spoken to you, and put in writing before anything starts, split into our time, your media spend and production.
How long is the contract?
The term is agreed in writing after we have spoken, along with the fee and the reporting. It is never a default twelve months, and renewal is decided on the numbers against the baseline recorded at the start.
How soon will we see results?
It depends on the trade, the channel and what is already in place. After we have read your brief and spoken to you, we say what we would expect to move first and how it will be measured against the baseline. Nothing here is guaranteed.
Who will actually do the work?
The person you speak to before anything starts. We work from one office in Nagarbhavi, Bengaluru, with no account managers in between.
What do you need from us?
Your brief, and a conversation. After that, access to whatever this work touches, such as your website, your accounts or your enquiry record, and time with the people who handle your enquiries.
What if we are not happy with the work?
Tell us and the plan changes. Everything is reported against the baseline, so a number that is not moving is visible to both sides. The term is in your written scope, and the refund and cancellation policy sets out the rest.
