Uber is leveraging the most irresistible chocolates and fragrant flowers, the most popular symbols of Valentine’s Day, to make this occasion extra memorable for you. Yes, despite the strike ridesharing drivers will have this day, according to what you may have already heard.
Flowers from 1-800-Flowers.com
Uber’s on-demand and same-day delivery platform for businesses that take their orders via their website, app, or phone, Uber Direct, has teamed up with 1-800-Flowers.com to help florists achieve favorable sales and beat the holiday rush.
Uber Direct is now integrated with 1-800-Flowers’s BloomNet so florists can get exclusive access to logistics support and on-demand drivers.
Aside from the perks from Uber Direct, this partnership also helps shops manage their high order volumes better and ensures bouquets reach your doorsteps in time for Valentine’s Day dinner, maybe? Even if the shops have received plenty of orders.
“By leveraging Uber’s global logistics expertise, BloomNet florists [can dynamically] dispatch, track, and fulfill same-day floral deliveries, even as demand spikes,” the company said. “We understand the logistical delivery challenges surrounding peak holidays such as Valentine’s Day. So we’ve teamed up with Uber Direct to provide our network with additional support.”
Way to go! Based in Jericho, New York, 1-800-Flowers is one of North America’s largest online retailers in the Flowers and Gifts category. Financial experts predict the company’s web sales will reach over a billion dollars this year.
Its partnership with Uber Direct is now live at over a thousand BloomNet locations across the country.
