This is Gerber Blumen & Co.

Gerber Blumen & Co. operates in the areas of floristry, garden centres, ornamental plant production with wholesale and services related to a 'Green Oasis' for the home. Depending on the season, up to 45 people are employed at the company, which is run in the third generation by Ruedi Gerber and Stephan Nyffeler.

Is online business with flowers worthwhile?

As early as 2017, Gerber Blumen & Co. recognised the importance of digitalisation and decided to create their own web shop for flower bouquets, arrangements, gifts, decorative items and various garden accessories. The online shop brought enormous increases in sales, especially during Corona times, and Ruedi Gerber admits:

“We couldn't have handled this volume of orders with phone orders.”

Although he knows that business is still primarily driven by emotions with the on-site shopping experience, he is convinced that they must continue to expand the online channel, as this will grow in their industry due to long-term consumer behaviour.

What's behind the online shop of Gerber Blumen & Co.

Blumen Gerber & Co. relies on Pages — the webshop tool from Payrexx for online sales. With the tool that can be customised in the corporate design, they were able to create their own webshop with a few clicks and start selling immediately.

Gerber Blumen & Co. integrates the sales page very easily as a button on the website, so customers can see the products directly in a separate window. Gerber Blumen & Co. enables payment with the most popular local payment methods such as Mastercard, Visa, Apple Pay, Google Pay, PostFinance, PayPal and TWINT.

A successful partnership

Ruedi Gerber sees the reason for the successful partnership between Gerber Blumen & Co. and Payrexx in the simplicity of the tools, the price-performance ratio with high professionalism and innovation, as well as the fast and uncomplicated support. Furthermore, he says:

“Payrexx is a cost-effective payment solution where we only need one point of contact. The billing process and administration are also very simple and user-friendly.”
