How can flowers help your Christchurch business?

It’s sad but true, most of our waking hours are spent in the workplace. While businesses have a legal obligation to provide a comfortable and safe working environment; however, they rarely address the innate need and desire we have as humans to be connected with nature.

Plants and fresh flowers have an immediate and positive impact on emotions, triggering feelings of happiness and alleviating stress and anxiety; they have the power to transform the ambiance of an interior space. Restaurants, hotels, clinics, and spas are expert at using fresh flowers to enhance the experience of their customers and clients, so is it time you brought flowers into your Christchurch business?

The benefits flowers deliver to your business

·        An enriched first impression for clients

In any business first impressions really do matter. Studies have found that people take a swift three seconds to decide about a scenario or situation. A beautiful bouquet or flower arrangement immediately enriches a reception or office space – satisfying the visitors’ intrinsic need to connect with nature.

A strategic flower design by Court Florist Christchurch creatives incorporates brand colours and enhances the brand identity. Structured and elegant lily bouquets exude a sense of luxury, whereas a pastel posy implies a relatable and homely charm – fresh flowers align with the business’s values and mission.

·        Corporate flowers to increase employee happiness and productivity

The decorative and aesthetic value a beautiful vibrant fresh flower display brings to an office does not need explaining; however, it is these additional benefits business flowers that really do benefit a business:

1.   Plants and fresh flowers reduce stress

The sight of a stunning beautiful flower arrangement causes a release of dopamine in the observer. Dopamine is a neurotransmitter responsible for enhancing memory, motivation, mood, and attention.

2.   Flowers feed creativity

With reduced stress and fatigue, your team feel more relaxed and positive in the workspace, which develops the ideal environment for the creativity to flow and a natural increase in productivity.

3.   Flowers help purify the air

Confirmed by NASA’s 1989 research, indoor plants and flowers clean air and remove interior toxins commonly found in office spaces such as carpets, glues, and toxins from printers.

4.   Flowers help reduce absenteeism

Numerous global studies have found that offices with plant and flower displays have absenteeism reduced by between 30-60%. Employees also presented with less headaches, sore throats, and coughs.

Introducing flowers and plants to a business environment is more than making a floral interior design statement. They have the power to transform the energy and vibe of the workspace to create a positive working environment. We’ll collaborate with you create a floral design to align with your brand’s story, personality, and values to engage clients and employees alike.
