Company Description
Think greetings cards, but in flowers! At Speaking Roses, we patented the ability to print personalized messages on live, fresh flowers for all occasions for promotional items, licensing brands, gifts, souvenirs, and more. Think of a greeting card, but instead of the paper being the vehicle of the message, now we use flowers, creating a new form of expression. Since our launch, we have been featured in many media publications and won Best Product from the PPAI Organization in the $20 billion promotional industry. Now, after many years of lessons learned, selling the product, and replicating the production capacity, we are ready to implement a replicable director-to-consumer, distributor/franchise model that doesn't require a physical store from the beginning so that we can share our unique and beloved product with customers all over the world.
