The floristry industry at aturning point

Just a decade ago, flower sales looked almost identical in every corner of the world – customers visited flower shops, picked out a bouquet, paid, and left.

Today, the reality is different:

• Customers’ lifestyles have changed – they want to shop conveniently, quickly, and at any time.
• More and more purchase decisions are made after traditional store hours.
• Self-service sales are becoming the norm in the foodservice, retail, and now also the floristry industry.

The result? The growing trend of vending machines – including specialized flower vending machines.

Vending in the floristry industry – a new sales channel

• Availability 24/7 – customers can buy whenever they want.
• Constant temperature control – flowers remain fresh
• Convenience for sellers – no need for physical presence at the point of sale.

In Western Europe, flower vending machines are found not only next to flower shops but also in shopping malls, gas stations, office buildings, and public spaces. In Poland, this trend is just gaining momentum – and those who implement it first will gain a market advantage.

RAPA flower vendingmachine – technology designed for change

• The largest compartments on the market – a minimum of 50×50×50 cm, shelves up to 58 cm in height.
• Capacity to store premium bouquets, wedding arrangements, and seasonal decorations.
• Temperature control in every module – from the cool environment ideal for roses to conditions suited for potted plants.

Why flower vendin machines are the future for florists

1. 1. Changing purchasing model – customers are getting used to automation and self-service.
2. 2. Increasing cost pressure – vending machines allow sales without increasing labor costs.
3. 3. New revenue sources – sales in locations where it was previously impossible (e.g., gas stations, city centers after midnight).
4. Eco-friendliness and energy savings – RAPA flower vending machines with an inverter unit consume 30-50% less power than standard machines.

All-In support – from purchase to daily operation

• Transport and installation
• Personalization to match the flower shop brand
• Configuration of cooling and sales system
• Technical support and servicing

Thanks to this, florists can focus on what they do best – creating beautiful bouquets – while the vending machine takes care of the sales.

A flower shop open 24/7 – without extra staff

For many flower shop owners, the biggest barrier to growth is the lack of time or staff resources.

The flower vending machine eliminates this problem:

• It sells on holidays, Sundays, and at night.
• It operates in multiple locations simultaneously.
• It extends the brand’s reach without rental costs and additional employees.
