Mother's Day reveals customers’ good mood
The average spending for a Mother's Day present in France was €28. Spending per customer in the Netherlands (€21) and Germany (€19) was significantly less.
For Germany, an average spending of €19 is good. Nationwide, members of the Association of the German Wholesale and Import Trade for Flowers (Verband des Deutschen Blumen- Groß- und Importhandels e. V.) were very pleased with the Mother’s Day sales. In terms of both quantities and pricing, 2015 showed growth for cut-flower wholesalers. Florists in the Trade Association of German Florists (Fachverbands Deutscher Floristen e. V) were also very satisfied.
According to a survey by the Association of German Flower Wholesalers (Vereinigung Deutscher Blumengroßmärkte), the 2015 bed and balcony season went well for all. Experts are reporting sales increases of approximately 7% in wholesale.
Generally, it can be said that after a somewhat slow start in spring, from mid-May onwards, sales of flowers and plants in Germany ran continuously and without major disruptions or surprises in 2015. The bed and balcony season replaced a harmonious spring season. The summer was stable with average prices. All in all, it was not an outstanding season but also not a bad season.
