Sales by Type
Strong unit gains for bouquets and arrangements
Roses and bouquets were the largest contributors to the total $622 million in floral sales in the four weeks ending October 5. Following a few subdued weeks, roses resumed unit growth. Bouquets had the highest gains of 10.1% in units and 12.8% in dollars.
Holiday bouquets, a very small type, were the only ones to lose ground in the quad week. This could be a matter of availability rather than demand. In categories such as confectionery, retailers increasingly merchandise regular items during holiday periods, rather than developing holiday-specific packaging.
