LOS ANGELES (May 7, 2012) – Every year, children young and old gather on the second Sunday of the month to celebrate and honor that special woman in their lives who has always been there for them. This year Teleflora, the world’s leading flower wire service, is encouraging consumers to reward mom all weekend by ordering and requesting early Mother’s Day bouquet deliveries. To promote early delivery, Teleflora is hosting a sweepstakes offering daily drawings of $1,000 cash plus a chance at winning hand-arranged, hand-delivered flowers for a year.

“We can think of no better way to recognize moms for all their hard work and sacrifice than with a beautiful arrangement of fresh flowers. And instead of waiting till Sunday, May 13 to present moms with their gifts, we want consumers to plan ahead, so she has even more time to enjoy her hand-arranged bouquet delivered by a local florist,” said Laurie McCartney, Chief Marketing Officer, Teleflora. “We recognize the struggle to select the perfect present and nothing makes moms feel more special than the personal gift of flowers she will adore. And Teleflora makes it easy to tell mom how much she is loved with its variety of exquisite bouquets for Mother’s Day.”

Flowers and Mother’s Day go hand-in-hand and moms are sure to smile when they receive their floral gift. Teleflora relies on the expertise of its network of more than 15,000 local florists to ensure that every arrangement is always given that extra special personal touch. With Mother’s Day being such a distinct time for families to express their love for one another, receiving a bouquet from Teleflora means moms will receive not just a fresh bouquet of flowers, but also a keepsake vase she will treasure for years.
