🌸 AI 101 for Florists: How AI Can Save You Hours in Your Flower Business

Running a floral business is rewarding — but let’s be honest, it’s also a juggling act. From flower sourcing to creating designs, writing Instagram captions, and answering endless client inquiries… it often feels like there’s never enough time.

That’s where AI tools like ChatGPT come in. And no, you don’t have to be techy to use them! AI is simply a digital helper that can assist you with writing, brainstorming, planning, and even organizing your business tasks.

• 📲 Answering inquiries: Drafts replies for common customer questions.

• 📋 Planning content: Monthly social media calendars in minutes.

• 💐 Brainstorming ideas: Collection names, promo campaigns, even bouquet descriptions.
