Teleflora Debuts Its New “Flower Coach” App For Iphone & Ipod Touch

LOS ANGELES, CA – Teleflora, the world's leading flower delivery service, today announced its free "Flower Coach" App available on the App store for iPhone and iPod touch users. Tying into the theme of Teleflora's latest 30-second ad "Help Me Faith," starring Faith Hill, set to debut during the second quarter of Super Bowl XLV on Sunday, February 6, the new app will take the pressure off when crafting the perfect greeting to accompany Valentine's Day flowers. And with Valentine's Day just around the corner, sending a good message with an exquisite hand-arranged, hand-delivered Teleflora bouquet is even more important.

"Teleflora has always sought out innovative ways to actively engage and communicate with customers through social media channels such as Facebook, Twitter or our YouTube channel," said Laurie McCartney, Chief Marketing Officer, Teleflora. "In today's digital world, companies need to create new avenues for communicating and establishing relationships with Internet-savvy consumers. Having an app for iPhone and iPod touch generates an affinity for the Teleflora brand because it offers consumers a unique and fun way to create heartfelt messages."

The Teleflora Flower Coach App is a fun and engaging way for users to craft customized messages for the special man/woman in one's life. One can create hundreds of possible lines and combinations from sweet to sexy, silly to serious or Shakespeare to street. Once the message has been crafted, users and recipients can post it to Facebook, Twitter or send it via email. The app also allows consumers to shop Valentine's Day bouquets from "The Collection by Faith Hill," developed exclusively with Teleflora that reflect Faith's style, taste and artistry. The app can also save customers 20% on their next bouquet purchase from Teleflora.
