No follow up when you sell to florists
How many prospects opened your email and never heard from you again? Here is how people who sell to florists fix it.
How many prospects opened your email and never heard from you again?
The first email goes out, and then the follow up is forgotten. Without a list of who is waiting for a next step, it simply does not happen.
It hits harder when you sell to florists. Florists are mostly independent shops with an owner who designs, buys and serves customers. They buy flowers several times a week and look for suppliers, delivery partners and tools that help them handle busy days like Valentine's Day and Mother's Day.
Prospects who showed interest go cold. The effort of the first email is wasted.
Follow-ups planned with the first email.
Plan the follow-ups together with the first email. A Riftjaw campaign can have up to 5 follow-ups, each sent the number of days after the first mail that you choose, to everyone, only to those who did not open or only to those who did not click. Riftjaw does not read your inbox, so you set replies to Replied yourself. Contacts with status Replied or Customer, or who unsubscribed, never get a follow-up.
- Fields that fit florists, such as shop or studio
- Email prefixes that fit, like info@, hello@, orders@ and flowers@
- Status, tags and a segment on every record
How to fix it in Riftjaw
- Write the first email. Pick a segment as the audience and write the first mail as usual.
- Add short follow-ups. Add up to 5, each with its own number of days and audience. Add something new rather than repeating the first email.
- Mark the replies. Set contacts who answered to Replied, so they get no further follow-ups.

Fields worth recording for florists
Record these and you can split the list later, write sharper mails and see who fits your offer.
| Field | Why it helps |
|---|---|
| Company name | The key field. Duplicates are checked on it or on the website. |
| Website | Needed to derive an email when the export has none. |
| Shop or studio | Studio florists without a shopfront buy and sell differently. |
| Wedding work | Florists who do weddings need larger orders and different stock. |
| Delivery network | Whether they belong to a relay network matters for platform offers. |
| Online shop | An existing webshop changes a web or software pitch. |
| Wholesaler | Their current supplier shows whether you pitch a switch. |
