Flowers…uncut

Posted by: Will – Priority juggler on April 25th, 2008

There have been three winners with Arena Flowers this month, in various ways. So, in ascending order of importance, we have:

1. £50 Bouquet Newsletter Winner

Every time we send our main newsletter (once a month), someone wins a free order of value up to £50. This month’s lucky winner was Mark S from Worcestershire. He sent his fiancée a Lovely in Lilac bouquet and a half bottle of champagne - absolutely free!

You don’t have to order to enter. All subscribers to our free newsletter are automatically entered. You can sign up to the newsletter here.

2. £1000 PayPal Winner

£50 bouquet not good enough? In which case, PayPal’s £1000 per day promo could be for you. Just pay with PayPal in our checkout and you’ll be automatically entered into that day’s £1000 draw. (You’ll speed up your checkout too, as PayPal is very quick and easy to pay with (we haven’t been bribed to say that, by the way. PayPal’s great.).) An Arena customer has won already - Stephen from Preston bought a Freesias Cube for £37.99 recently and won £1000. Not bad! The PayPal offer ends at midnight on 30th April 2008.

3. BHF Raises One Million Pounds In Valentine’s Appeal

Earlier this year we supported the British Heart Foundation’s Valentine’s Appeal, raising £576 for the British Heart Foundation. After Valentine’s we also gave away flowers for free, each with a BHF leaflet and a request to donate. We were a little “Johnny Come Lately” in terms of joining the appeal and next year we hope to be more organised and to raise a lot more for the campaign. Thanks to all our customers who helped us contribute to this great cause. We’re very pleased to report that the BHF hit its target of raising over £1m in the campaign and Ellen Midwood, the BHF’s National Campaigns Manager, had this to say:

“We are delighted to confirm that the British Heart Foundation Valentine Appeal has succeeded in raising its £1 million target. The funds will go towards our vital care services of BHF Heart Nurses and the Heart HelpLine. We are extremely grateful to Arena Flowers for their support of the appeal and look forward to working with them again in 2009.”

So who’s the biggest winner here? The British Heart Foundation, of course, and those that they help every day. Thanks again to all who contributed.
