Jurliss Flowers launch the world's first desk-top notification application

2011-06-28T20:12:00.000-07:00

Jurliss Flowers, one of the leading Singapore online florists, has launched the world's first floral desk-top notification application. This application will notify customers whenever there are special offers and new promotions going on.

Running on Window 7, VISTA and XP, this application can be downloaded from www.jurliss.com/floral-alert-download.htm and the installation will be carried out automatically by executing the downloaded file. Whenever there is an offer, a pop-up notification will appear at the bottom right-hand corner of the PC screen for approximately 10 seconds. If the customer does not respond to the notification, the notification will turn into a flashing icon which serves as a constant and non-annoying reminder.

Unlike email notification, desk-top notification is real-time. The idea and technology used are similar to those used for news feed and MSN. However, this is the first-time deployment of this technology in the online floral industry.

As a florist, we are constantly exploring ways to connect with our customers, to hear from them and to serve them with what they want. Running an online business is getting more challenging in terms of keen competition. Customers can now easily perform product research and price comparison across companies before making purchase decision. Hence, our special offers and promotions must be conveyed to our customers as quickly and timely as possible to capture their attention and place ourselves in their consideration list.

This desk-top notification application suits all customers and prospects, and particularly suitable for frequent flower buyers who always want to cheer their loved ones up. This notification will definitely bring customers with money's worth and best buy that no where and no one can offer.

My Mother’s Day Surprise

2011-04-21T03:37:00.000-07:00

My mother has always been there to comfort me in times of sorrow, and celebrate with me in times of joy. She has a radiant sparkle in her eye and warmth about her that makes everyone feel special. Each and every Mother’s Day, since I was little, we had always presented my mom with some special treat, a symbol of our love for her. One year we gave her handmade gifts, the next we baked her cookies and organized breakfast in bed. No matter what presents we gave her, they never really felt like enough. How do you express your undying love for someone by giving them seemingly meaningless trinkets?

Of course, my mother appreciated the gifts and what I can remember about each of those Mother’s Days was the love that my siblings and I shared with our mother, along with my father. Outdoing ourselves each Mother’s Day, trying to come up with a better, more personal gift than the last, this year, we find ourselves stuck.

My mother is a loving soul and would not mind receiving the same thing again or even something small like a simple card, but my siblings and I want to make this year special, as it is her 30^th Mother’s Day. So, after throwing some ideas around for a while, and thinking back over past Mother’s Days, I had a light bulb moment. In every single Mother’s Day, along with the presents, we always gave my mother flowers.

One year, we might have given her a bouquet of sweet smelling pink carnations with baby’s breath, and the next, it might have been a single autumn colored rose in a vase with her breakfast in bed. We decorated the lunch table with flower arrangements using everything from calla lilies, tulips, roses, and carnations to the cheerful sunflower and bold gerberas.

We realized that the flower arrangements and bouquets had always come in second to the other gifts we were giving. They always stood there beautifully decorating the entire day, and now it was their turn to take the spotlight. “My mother is a beautiful lady with a beautiful heart and deserves the beauty of flowers to enjoy on Mother’s Day,” I thought.

Discussing this with the rest of the family, we have started planning our huge Mother’s Day surprise! We have gone back over each Mother’s Day and tried to remember what flowers we gave her each year. We do have photos to help us, so the task is not too hard. We have also made copies of the best photos from each year to present to our mom in a special handmade photo album, so that she can see where we got the inspiration for the floral surprise we are about to throw her.

We will use all 30 flower arrangements, bouquets and single cut flowers in our surprise and have emptied a space in our living room, where they will all go on display. We are going to be sending our mother out for the morning to get her hair and nails done, as her “gift” and then when she returns home, the entire living room will be filled with our surprise flowers.

I can’t wait to see my Mom’s face when she walks inside. I think it will mean a lot, knowing all the effort that we put into choosing the exact flowers that we had given her each Mother’s Day to date, and with the photo album to prove it. We have left a space for a photo of this Mother’s Day with all the flowers, and I am sure this will be the best one yet!

What flowers should I send to my girl friend?

2007-10-07T04:09:00.000-07:00

The first question to ask yourself is "What kind of flower does she like?", and next "Which colour does she like?".

If you have no idea, you may send her pink roses or tulips for the first time. After which, you really have to find out what she like. If she has no preference, sending her roses will be the best choice.

Below shows what our customers normally buy for their loved ones;

- Red Roses : 34%
- Pink Roses : 33%
- Tulips : 8%
- Lilies : 7%
- Others : 18%

Will My Roses Bloom?

2007-08-06T03:05:00.000-07:00

This is a commonly asked question by many of our customers.

Let's answer this question based on whether the roses are in a round-shape hand bouquet or not.

Roses in a round-shape hand bouquet are usually not blooming due to space constraints as they are surrounded by other flowers and greens which restrict them from blooming.
It is advisable to keep the roses in the bouquet. To keep the flowers alive, small amount of water can be added to the bouquet daily. Cottonwool within the bouquet will keep the water for the flowers. Place the bouquet in cool environment, ideally between 9C to 11C.

Roses in vase will tend to bloom provided that;
1. Change water and trim the stem (1~2cm) daily.
2. Stay away from direct sunlight.
3. AND place them in environment of 9C to 11C.
4. Keep the stem up-right. This is to ensure efficient water up-take to the flowers.
(stem portion that is directly below the rose is relatively weak. This port will droop if the water up-take is inefficient, i.e. lack of water supply. If the rose droops, keep the rose straight up by wrapping a piece of paper around it and place the rose stem back in the water for an hour. The rose will become "alive" after have a good drink of water. This method is used to solve the inefficient water up-take problem and cannot be used to revive a dying rose.)

However, there are exceptions even when the above 4 points are observed.
The most common encounter is "the roses are too young or inmature". This encounter is obvious during high-demand seasons like Valentine's Day. To meet the demand, growers cut the roses to meet the demand when the roses are still too young.
