Plan on $1,000-$4,000/mo in ad spend. Google Search leads in the Shopping, Collectibles & Gifts category average $49.40 at a $4.14 CPC (LocaliQ 2026); Meta lead-gen averages $27.39 per lead across industries (LocaliQ 2026). Weddings and holidays carry the margin: Americans spent $3.1 billion on Valentine's flowers (NRF 2026).

“Wedding inquiries are unpredictable — some months 8, some months zero.”
“We're invisible to engaged couples who start planning online.”
“Valentine's and Mother's Day are insane but 8 other months are just okay.”
“FTD and 1-800-Flowers steal our local orders with national ad spend.”
“Our Instagram is gorgeous but it doesn't drive calls or web orders.”

Run a wedding/event consultation campaign separately from a giftable everyday offer. NRF measured $3.1 billion in Valentine's flower spending in 2026, with 41% of celebrants buying flowers - that demand needs its own campaign, not a generic "order flowers" ad.
Retail traffic campaigns on Meta average $0.59 per click at a 1.88% CTR (LocaliQ 2026). Send those clicks to a consultation form or a same-day order page, never the homepage.
Warm retargeting pools before Valentine's Day and Mother's Day so peak-week budget lands on people who already engaged. Cross-industry Meta lead-gen averages $27.39 per lead (LocaliQ 2026); retargeted holiday buyers usually come in under it.

Meta has recently-engaged relationship status data. We target people who've recently updated their status to 'engaged' combined with wedding-planning interests — highly specific.
3–4 weeks before for major holidays. Valentine's Day campaigns start February 1st. Mother's Day starts April 25th. Early campaigns capture orders before the last-minute rush.
Yes — local freshness, same-day delivery, and custom design are advantages nationals can't match. We build campaigns around those differentiators specifically.
Yes — subscription campaigns targeting women 25–55 with home decor interests are very effective. We also target corporate offices for weekly arrangement subscriptions.
Arrangement close-ups, venue decoration setups, and 'day of' event florals. Video of arrangements being built also performs very well — the craft is visually compelling.
Karbon's Starter tier is up to $1,000/mo in ad spend - enough to run one channel, usually Meta, and find out what a wedding consultation actually costs you. Most florists move to the Growth tier at $1,000-$4,000/mo once holiday and wedding campaigns run side by side. Karbon charges a flat monthly retainer plus your ad spend, month-to-month.
Use the retail category as the baseline: $49.40 per lead on Google Search at a $4.14 CPC (LocaliQ 2026) and $27.39 per lead on Meta across all industries (LocaliQ 2026). Wedding consultations cost more per lead than gift orders, but a single contract is worth many arrangements.
Meta usually produces first orders in 3-14 days because retail clicks are cheap - $0.59 at a 1.88% CTR (LocaliQ 2026). Google Search converts faster per click but needs two to four weeks of query data before it stops wasting budget. Google Business Profile and SEO work is a 3-6 month play.
Both, in that order. Meta is where gifting and wedding demand is created, and retail traffic clicks cost just $0.59 (LocaliQ 2026). Google catches the person already typing "florist near me" at $4.14 a click and $49.40 a lead (LocaliQ 2026).
Those two weeks distort the whole year. NRF recorded $3.1 billion of Valentine's flower spending in 2026, with 41% of the 55% who celebrate buying flowers. Start audience-building four to six weeks ahead of each date, then concentrate the majority of the month's budget into the final ten days.
