How Bouquet Box Flower Bar Is Turning DIY Floral Arranging Into A Blooming Franchise Business
Social media has transformed every celebration—whether it's a child's birthday or a large corporate event—into a full-blown production. Gone are the days of simple snacks and a few decorations. Today, personalized experiences and Instagram-worthy activities are the norm. That's exactly why Bouquet Box Flower Bar could be the next big franchise opportunity for entrepreneurs looking to break into the event planning or floral industries.
Bouquet Box Flower Bar is an exciting new offshoot of Bouquet Box, a floral subscription service launched in 2021 by Courtney Sixx in collaboration with famed floral purveyor Mark's Garden. Each Bouquet Box delivery includes a curated selection of fresh blooms, along with a vase, grid, and easy-to-follow instructions for creating a professional-quality arrangement at home.

What started as a successful DIY floral subscription service has now blossomed into a high-demand, hands-on event activation known as the Bouquet Box Flower Bar—a unique offering that turns any gathering into a memorable floral experience.
Sixx and Crawford
In 2023, Bouquet Box collaborated with supermodel Cindy Crawford on a Mother's Day-themed box. This connection led to an introduction to Best Buddies International, where the Flower Bar concept was first born. "Cindy sits on the board of Best Buddies International and put us in touch with them when they were looking for flower ideas for their Mother's Day gala," says Sixx.
Since Bouquet Box is a DIY experience rather than a traditional florist, Sixx came up with the idea to set up a flower bar at the event. "We wanted guests to enjoy a floral buffet, where they could create their own arrangements. When they were done, they took their vases to their tables as centerpieces and brought them home as favors. It was amazing—for us, the guests, and the hosts."
It turned out to be hit because flower arranging is something anyone can do. Anthony K. Shriver, Founder and Chairman of Best Buddies International, shared, "Our Best Buddies participants and guests had an amazing time creating beautiful floral arrangements at the Bouquet Box Flower Bar during our Mother's Day events. Everyone walked away with flowers, fun, and new friendships."
Following that success, Bouquet Box began receiving requests to bring its flower bars to other events such as bridal showers, baby showers, Sweet 16s, bat mitzvahs, and even corporate gatherings. Most notably, the brand became an official partner of Miss America in 2024.

With growing demand, Sixx realized the model wasn't sustainable with just her and partner Amy Nebens, a former editor at Martha Stewart Weddings. "We needed local boots on the ground—people immersed in their communities where outreach and integration could be seamless," says Sixx.
Designed to be both affordable and flexible, the flower bar franchise was built with working mothers and creative entrepreneurs in mind. "The startup cost is low compared to most other franchises," says Sixx. "There's no need for a brick-and-mortar space or ongoing inventory since flowers and vases are ordered per event. It's a true home-based franchise."
Thanks to its flexible model, franchisees can set their own schedules and scale the business based on their availability. "It's ideal for women who want a creative outlet with the freedom to work around family life or another job," Sixx adds.
Bouquet Box provides franchisees with everything they need to succeed: a trusted system, logistical support, fulfillment, product access, branding assets, and ongoing coaching. 'No floral expertise is required—just a love of flowers and an entrepreneurial spirit.'

So far, Bouquet Box Flower Bar franchisees have made a splash at high-profile events for brands like Bloomingdale's, MaxMara, the Jackson Hole Film Festival, the LPGA, the Caldera House, and The Carriage House in Palm Beach.
With the growing popularity of DIY floral bars and personalized event experiences, Bouquet Box Flower Bar is poised to be one of the most exciting and accessible low-cost franchise opportunities for 2025 and beyond.

Chanson International Realized Significant Growth with Livestreaming and Same-City Delivery Strategy
URUMQI, China, July 24, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Chanson International Holding (Nasdaq: CHSN) (the 'Company' or 'Chanson'), a provider of bakery, seasonal, and beverage products through its chain stores in China and the United States, today announced that its 'baking + same-city delivery' and 'livestream + interaction' strategy has realized significant growth in online sales. This initiative marks a promising start in Chanson's expansion in online markets. In 2024, the Company launched its channel on Douyin, China's sister app to TikTok, to integrate its core advantage in 'fresh baking' with the convenience of same-city instant delivery services by leveraging its network of 60 offline stores. Unlike traditional e-commerce, which relies on static images and text, Chanson's own livestream studio brings real-time visuals from each store's kitchen, prep station, and scullery. Viewers can watch the sheen of dough being kneaded, bread rising in the oven, and intricate cream decorating - all captured in high definition with professional lighting. It provides viewers with easy access to craftsmanship and freshness throughout the process. During each livestream, hosts not only showcase product details but also answer real-time inquiries, such as requests for low-sugar options or customized cake sizes, and launch interactive promotions. According to livestreaming data that is available to Chanson, average viewer watch time has increased from 2 minutes to 8 minutes, with engagement rates consistently above 30%. To convert livestream traffic into sales, Chanson introduced exclusive livestream bundles, including a discounted breakfast set and a group afternoon tea offer. These are promoted with urgency-driven slogans like 'made today' and 'delivered within one hour within 3 kilometers' through Douyin's shopping cart. Mr. Gang Li, Chairman of the Board and CEO of Chanson, commented, 'Freshness and convenience are at the heart of what baking consumers value most. Our livestream strategy brings the aroma and activity of our kitchens online, creating a multisensory, interactive shopping experience supported by real-time local delivery. We plan to continue refining our livestream schedules to match peak hours, and to launch special themed events, such as low-sugar cake features on Mother's Day or cartoon bread promotions on Children's Day.' Mr. Li added, 'From 'window displays' to 'livestream interaction,' and from 'in-store purchases' to 'same-city instant delivery,' we are developing an offline-online integrated model. By centering on product freshness, leveraging immersive visual content, and ensuring a seamless local service experience, we believe this strategy will distinguish Chanson in a competitive marketplace and position our business for its next phase of growth.'

Trader Joe's collabs with Bay FC on viral mini tote giveaway
Bay FC fans hoping to get their hands on Trader Joe's wildly popular mini tote bags — the same ones listed on the secondary market for as much as $49,000 online earlier this year — will soon have their chance. In a new collaboration between the women's professional soccer club and the grocery chain, ticketed attendees at Bay FC's home match on Aug. 2 against the Houston Dash will receive an exclusive, co-branded mini tote upon entry. The giveaway capitalizes on the national frenzy sparked earlier this year when Trader Joe's pastel-colored canvas totes sold out within minutes and flooded resale sites at eye-popping prices. Now, Bay FC's custom version will be offered as part of its multi-year partnership with the grocer — the company's first with a National Women's Soccer League team. 'We're thrilled to provide a fun, memorable experience for fans,' Bay FC said in its announcement last week, encouraging early arrivals for pre-match FanFest activities. These include an on-stage grocery bagging contest, a Trader Joe's-themed scavenger hunt and giveaways. While the collectible totes will be permitted at the Aug. 2 match, officials note they do not meet PayPal Park's standard bag policy and will be barred at future games.

Target to end price match policy — and customers are seeing red. ‘Not a good move'
Target is planning to ditch its competitor price match policy, a decision that has some customers seeing red. Starting July 28, the retail giant said it will only offer price matching between Target stores and a company spokesperson confirmed to McClatchy News. For more than a decade, Target's 'price match guarantee' allowed customers to match the price of identical items sold at a lower price by Walmart and Amazon, in addition to its own stores, according to its website. For example, customers could match prices on in-store purchases, and vice versa. Prices can be matched at the time of purchase or within 14 days, Target said. 'We've found our guests overwhelmingly price match Target and not other retailers, which reflects the great value and trust in pricing that consumers see across our assortment and deals,' a Target spokesperson told McClatchy News in a statement July 21. The Minneapolis-based retailer launched its price match policy in 2013 in a move then-CEO Gregg Steinhafel said would offer shoppers an 'unbeatable value,' CBS News reported. The new policy will allow customers to 'continue to shop with confidence,' the Target spokesperson said. A notice shared in stores also cited 'guest feedback' for the changes, which have drawn the ire of some shoppers. 'I used to shop at Target a lot,' one person wrote on Reddit. 'Not anymore. This is ridiculous, and not a good move.' 'What, do guests not like saving money?' wrote another. 'I'd price match Amazon or Walmart at times and then use my discount (yes this follows policy),' another shopper posted on Reddit, adding: 'Well, I'll just buy less or buy it where it's cheaper.' The changes comes as Target struggles with lagging sales, due in part to ongoing fallout over the company's decision to roll back its diversity, equity and inclusion initiatives, as reported by KCRA and CNN. The company also pointed to backlash over LGBTQ-themed items offered at stores during Pride Month in 2023. First-quarter sales this year dipped nearly 4 percent as the retailer 'navigated a highly challenging environment,' Target CEO Brian Cornell said in an earnings report published in May. '...We're not satisfied with current performance and know we have opportunities to deliver faster progress on our roadmap for growth,' Cornell said. Target was the last to continue offering a price match guarantee on items from competitors, according to NewsNation. Walmart doesn't offer price matching for rival retailers — only online and in-store purchases, its website says. Amazon currently does not offer price matching.
