Share
Based on roughly two years of anonymised Floristella order data. Figures are relative shares and rankings only.
Sympathy is the single most-given occasion in Philippine flower delivery
Across every region Floristella serves, sympathy and funeral flowers are the most-ordered occasion — about 53% of all orders where the occasion is identifiable, ahead of romantic flowers (≈32%) and every celebration combined. In a market often imagined around romance and birthdays, condolence is quietly the largest and steadiest category of all.

The further from Metro Manila, the more sympathy dominates
Sympathy's share of identifiable-occasion orders rises steadily with distance from the capital:
| Region | Sympathy share of occasions |
|---|---|
| Metro Manila | ~33% |
| CALABARZON | ~35% |
| Central & North Luzon | ~52% |
| Visayas | ~59% |
In provincial Philippines, where Catholic wake traditions are strongest and communities turn out in full, sympathy flowers are not one occasion among many — they are the occasion. See our delivery pages for the Visayas and Iloilo, where sympathy demand is strongest.
Sympathy is the non-seasonal backbone of flower demand
Romantic flower demand swings violently with Valentine's Day; birthday demand drifts with the calendar. Sympathy does neither. Measured month to month, sympathy revenue is roughly four to five times steadier than romantic flower revenue — the reliable floor beneath every seasonal peak. It also carries a higher average order value (around 40% above the store average), driven by large baskets and standing tributes.
