Where to find How to create The benefits

Hi florist! We understand that sifting through our wide assortment of flowers to find the perfect ones can be quite the undertaking. And it’s not only that. Also, the countdown of 15 minutes after adding a product to your basket can be stressful. “What if I see another product I prefer to buy after the timer runs out?”, or “What if there is a better priced alternative?”. Questions you might ask yourself while buying.

Fortunately, there is a ‘life hack’ to prevent all of this. We’re excited to introduce you to our nifty “Favorites” feature. Designed with your ease in mind, this feature will make your floral exploration through our 3.000 items wide flower stock much easier. How? Read more below.

Where do I find this feature?

First, have you noticed the heart icon on the right side of the blue top bar? Click on it and it will immediately take you to Favorites. Here you find an overview of all Favorites lists you made, or still have to make. You can make as many as you want. Also, you’ll find a cute little hart at the top-right corner of every product card. With a simple click on the heart, you can add any product to the Favorite list of your choice. What’s more, there’s no cap to the number of favorites you can add.

Categorize, Customize, and Plan Ahead

One of the unique aspects of our Favorites feature is the ability to create your own lists and categorize your favored flowers. Planning a winter-themed event and fell in love with some Snowy White Roses? Or a client is organizing a tropical paradise themed event, calling for vibrant Hibiscus and Heliconia. No problem, create a list for each category and add your selections accordingly. This way, you can have all your inspirations organized and easily accessible for when you're ready to make a purchase.

It also comes in handy when planning your own holiday and staff needs to take over the buying. Create a list of items that need to be in, in advance.

“Let's avoid the rush against the clock!“

No Rush, Just Browse

Here's the cherry on top: using the Favorites feature lets you avoid the rush against the clock. We know the cart timer on our website starts counting down as soon as you add a product to your cart. Once the timer ends, the purchase is made. With the Favorites feature, however, you can browse, select, and save your preferred flowers at your own pace, without committing to a purchase immediately.

So, next time you're on Hoek flowers, don't forget to heart those beautiful blooms.

Sustainable flower delivery – The Secret Garden Flowers

Sustainablity In the middle of April, we launched our new sustainable flower box. These boxes are made of 100% recycled materials, and re-usable up to 200 times! Before, we were sending all our flowers in cardboard boxes. Although we picked up most of the boxes and recycled them, nothing beats this newly invented box. We’ve teamed up with a company called ‘Newwen’, they are focusing on sustainability by making everything recyclable, reusable and they’re moving towards zero waste and 100% sustainability. Together with one of our florists, Jolanta from ‘The Secret Garden Flowers’, we reviewed the box and spoke about how this box changed things for her. We shared the interview with Newwen and they made an amazing article, one I’d like to share with you.
