Want to Prompt Purchase and Preference for California Grown Flowers?
Welcome to the Hint Card Hub!
The California Cut Flower Commission created Hint Cardssm to help people drop a hint that they would like to receive America's freshest flowers: California Grown Flowers! Each set includes a strip of five Hint Cards that perforate off for easy use, along with information about what makes California Grown Flowers so special. With five choices, users are sure to find a Hint Card that suits their personality and lifestyle.
Hint Cards bring something new to the floral industry - to go in bunches or bouquets, feature in counter displays or send out with deliveries - and create a fun way for your customers to let that certain someone know they'd like more flowers in their life. They create a call-to-action that's tough to ignore and that is intended to drive additional purchases. And because they can be customized, Hint Cards keep your brand at the top of your customers' minds.
Following is a collection of resources to help you learn more and get started using Hint Cards in your business right away.
