Do Local Florists Offer Discounts on Small Business Saturday?
Learn which florist deals appear on Small Business Saturday and how to confirm savings at your local shop.
Yes, many local florists offer discounts on Small Business Saturday, but each shop sets its own deal. No single chainwide discount covers all florists, so savings depend on the store near you. Small Business Saturday is an annual shopping event that encourages shoppers to support small businesses.
The U.S. Small Business Administration lists it on the Saturday after Thanksgiving, November 28 in 2026, and notes American Express founded it in 2010 with agency co-sponsorship since 2011 in the Small Business Saturday observance page.

How many florists join in?
Florist participation is relatively high compared with other holiday sales. The Society of American Florists reported that nearly 40% of surveyed retail florists promoted Small Business Saturday, compared with 18% for Black Friday and 9% for Cyber Monday in the December survey report. That pattern suggests shoppers may find more flower-specific offers that Saturday than on the surrounding discount days.
It also means participation is still optional, so some shops will sit out.
What kinds of discounts appear?
Recent examples focus on limited categories rather than storewide price cuts. In an example shared by the Society of American Florists, Watanabe Floral in Honolulu gave 25% off online orders with code BLACK, excluding wedding and sympathy work, for future delivery. Flowers by Marianne used a different format for November 30, 2024.
Shoppers received an in-store mystery scratch discount worth 10% to 40% off the entire purchase, excluding fresh flowers, plus buy-one-get-one 50% off ornaments. Tooka Florist, described in its company blog, advertised special deals across its orchid and plant collections and donated a portion of proceeds to a local charity.
Why are many offers small or bundled?
Florists often avoid deep cuts on everyday arrangements. FTD's florist business blog suggests tactics such as gift-with-purchase, percentage off select items, a local favorite arrangement, or a free in-store bouquet upgrade in the Small Business Saturday ideas. Florists' Review points to the same margin concern.
It warns that a deep discount on roses can cost more than it earns, so bundled or exclusive offers usually protect profit better than broad price cuts. For shoppers, that means extras, upgrades, and select-category discounts are common. Full-site discounts on fresh arrangements are less common and often carry exclusions.
How can you confirm a local offer before you go?
Discounts are set shop-by-shop, so check the exact store you plan to visit. FTD's local-fulfillment material and past shop examples both point to exclusions and local variation.
- Check the shop website and social pages for dates, codes, and exclusions.
- Note pickup, delivery, and future-delivery rules before ordering.
- Ask whether wedding, sympathy, fresh flowers, or sale items are excluded.
- Confirm in-store-only deals, such as scratch cards or ornament offers, before traveling.
