More mothers than lovers
It is the day before 'M' Day and we are all set to take more orders than we did for Valentine's Day just a month ago. It is a simple fact I suppose, there are more mothers than lovers and so of course we should be busier.
In hindsight it is easy to see that we shouldn't be surprised, its just that in the six months that the site has been live our attention has been focused on Valentine's Day as the benchmark. I remember Steve casually saying in the dying hours of Feb 14th that it was just 30 days until Mother's Day and that it would be the same. A little hard to imagine when sleep had become optional for most of the florists!
Mother's Day presented another fact, that a majority of mothers live outside of London. Meaning that we would not require the same 30 vans to deliver across London on the day in question. We would have to instead ensure we have enough boxes to send our flowers across all over the UK.
Mass of pink roses
