Why Have An Office Centerpiece


FOR MORE CORPORATE GIFTS IDEAS, VISIT US AT ONLINEFLOWERS.SG!


THE FIRST IMPRESSION


The importance of a first impression is essential for a business, especially when the business requires meeting many clients. The office appearance tells a lot about the company, similar to how one's physical appearance tells about one's character. A clean, minimalist office space exudes a modern and efficient work atmosphere, while one that is colourful suggests a young, energetic company. 

The reception area is the most important part of the office, as it gives the client the first impression of the company. Therefore, with a fresh and inviting floral arrangement as the office centrepiece, it will create a positive first impression and is the first step towards clinching that deal! 



THEY INCREASE PRODUCTIVITY


Employers often lament that they have difficulty encouraging productivity among employees, but one easy tip often overlooked is how having some flowers and plants in the office is an immediate boost in efficiency!

A study has shown that employees are "15% more productive" when there are presence of plants and flowers, as they become more engaged at work. This is because when the employee are exposed to flowers, it reduces anxiety, depression, and even improve memory retention rates.

Also, flowers encourage greater creativity and innovation, as employees become more comfortable in the office.

Therefore, having an office centerpiece is the best solution for all troubled employers who are looking to insert some positive vibes in the office, so why wait?

Why Do Women Like Flowers?

Reasons Why Women Love Flowers
FOR MORE INFO ON FLOWERS DELIVERY, LIKE US AND SHARE NOW!


1. They show that you are thinking of her


The problem with men is, they tend to be more emotionally reserved as compared to women. As a result, women have a hard time guessing where they stand and how much they matter to men. When men send a beautiful hand bouquet out of the blue, it shows that they have been thinking of their other half and is seen as a physical affirmation of love. 

Also, sending flowers after an offhand remark made by the woman demonstrates that you have been listening and paying attention to her, which is way, way more important than any verbal expression of affection! 


If you have trouble choosing the right bouquet for your loved ones, call our expert florist at 8555 1805 for further assistance! 


2. Women like to admire them 


The term biophilia means "the urge to associate with other forms of life". This basically means that we as humans tend to feel a certain emotional connection to nature and other lifeforms, such as animals. This is also the reason why being around nature relaxes the mind and body.

Similarly, women naturally feel a genuine happiness when they are around flowers, bringing about a natural inclination to exhibit a real smile. The positive hormonal reaction also increases women receptivity to romance, as a study suggested, especially because of the popular association of flowers with messages of love and romance. 

3. Sending flowers makes them the center of attention 


Men are not the only ones with ego, because women also enjoy the feeling of being noticed by others, for the right reasons of course! And sending a bouquet of flowers to her office will instantly make her the envy of everyone, and even if we deny it, we do enjoy being envied by others! So guys, it is time to send some flowers to her office, and table arrangements are a great choice as they tend to last longer and could be conveniently placed on display right on her work table for her to admire during the workday. A bonus is how she will always be reminded of you when she glances at the flowers!

We suggest sending these bright and lively table arrangements specially designed by our in-house florist!


4. They like how awkwardly difficult it is for men to buy and send them flowers 


Men often complain that women are mysterious creatures, due to their whims and fancies. They are not completely untrue, because we gain some weird satisfaction when we see men doing things they are uncomfortable with just for us! Men seem to be allergic to florists, as they shuffle their feet and stand around being awkward when they are required to buy flowers. Yet they do it anyway, because they are aware that it is one of the best ways to bring a smile on her face! By doing something they disliked, we can feel their sincerity and how much they value us, thus making this one of the reasons why women loves flowers! 

5. Women deserve them


Do we need to say more?
