YouTube giveaway ideas for florists

1. Short: three flowers, three looks

   One bunch of flowers arranged three ways in 50 seconds. Pin the rules and ask viewers to comment their favorite with the keyword. Use grocery-store stems so viewers can copy it, and show the price on screen at the start.

2. Wedding flowers from start to finish

   Film a whole wedding from the market run to the last centerpiece in 20 minutes. Engaged couples watch these in full. Say the keyword at the ceremony arch. Credit the venue and planner in the description so their followers find you too.

3. How to make flowers last

   A 10-minute care guide: water, trimming, temperature. Useful long-form gets searched every week. The keyword wins a monthly bouquet for three months. Test one bunch with each tip over a week and show the side-by-side on day seven.

4. Flower market haul

   Take viewers to the wholesale market at 5am. It's a world most people never see. The haul becomes the prize bouquet for one commenter. Say what you paid per bunch. Viewers are always surprised by the wholesale side, and it explains your prices.

5. Rating viewer arrangements Short

   Rate arrangements viewers sent in earlier with kind, specific tips. Ask the next batch to comment the keyword to enter the workshop giveaway. Pick a mix of great and wobbly ones, and always end on something the maker did well.

Swap in your own name, prize and end time. Entry is simple: comment on the video with the keyword you name.

Three months of fresh bouquets, delivered. Comment the keyword from the ceremony arch scene and your favorite flower. Drawing Sunday 6pm PT, winner pinned below. 18+, local delivery only. YouTube isn't a sponsor and isn't involved. Rules in description.

Pick something that brings the winner back through your door, not just a gift card.

• A bouquet delivered every month for three months (about $150 retail)
• A wedding consultation and bridal bouquet (about $200 retail)
• A flower arranging workshop for two (about $120 retail)
• A surprise bouquet delivered to someone the winner nominates
• A potted orchid and a care guide (about $45)
• First pick of your Valentine's Day pre-orders, guaranteed delivery

1. Hide a keyword in the video

   Say it halfway through. It rewards people who actually watched and gives you a clean filter at draw time.

2. Pin the rules

   Keyword, end date, eligibility and a rules link, pinned. Works on Shorts and long-form alike.

3. Put the end date up front

   First line of the description, so viewers who find the video next month know it's closed instead of commenting into the void.

4. Filter by keyword and draw

   Paste the comments into the YouTube comment picker, filter by the keyword, draw and reply to your pin with the results link.

• Flowers wilt. Set a delivery date, not just a winner.
• Keep the delivery radius tight.
• Avoid prize dates near Valentine's and Mother's Day.
• Lilies are toxic to cats, so ask about pets.

• YouTube's contest policies make you responsible for the giveaway, its rules and its prizes.
• Say that YouTube isn't a sponsor and isn't involved.
• Entry can't break YouTube's Community Guidelines or terms.

A collab doubles the audience for the same prize budget. For florists, good partners are a local bakery, a wedding venue or planner, a chocolate or candle maker. Each of you posts, and entries from both posts go into one draw.
