When the mercury starts to rise on the thermometers in Tucson, we know it's the time of year to roll out our Summer floral collection. This year was no exception. We activated our Summer designs around the first week of June. Once again, our incredible customers reacted as expected. Sales have been strong over the past three months.
Arizona Sunflowers are one of the most popular varieties in the Tucson areas. We always include lots of floral designs in our Summer floral collection that include Sunflowers. Locally sourced Sunflowers are always some of the most beautiful in America. If you love these gorgeous flowers, we encourage you to check out these arrangements; Santa Rita Sunset, Madera Canyon Magicand Epic Day in Houston. All three of these beautiful designs have been really popular this year.
Our Summer floral collection also includes a number of arrangements that feature Ecuadorian Roses. Many of the roses we purchase come directly from domestic and international flower farms. Purchasing roses direct has proven to be really beneficial to our firm and to our customers. When you buy direct, you eliminate the wholesalers. We are able to have the farms cut the flowers, then ship them directly to us. That ensures that our customers are able to enjoy the finest, freshest and highest quality roses available. Fresher roses means longer vase life, which usually results in much happier clients.
While most florists in the industry experience a real drop in sales results during the Summer months. In fact, research shows the June, July and August are historically three of the four slowest months of the year for flower shops. Our firm has continued to enjoy strong growth, even during these hot Summer days. We attribute much of that success to our strategic partnership with Flyline Search Marketing and the strength, quality and flexibility of the floral designs we included in our Summer collection. When you have a moment, we encourage you to check out the beautiful flower arrangements in our Summer collection.
