Hollywood And Colombian Flowers, Pink Intuition Could Be The Rose We All Come To Know Thanks To Julia Roberts

Most traditionalists believe that Valentines day, Feb.14th in the United States should include Roses, and thats great news for the Colombian Flower industry.

However, as the younger generation becomes increasingly  difficult to market to flower growers are looking at more and more innovative ways to reach the Gen Y market.  A strong example of this was this weeks gala opening of Valentines day, a film staring Julia Roberts. The film set around Valentines day and the love and loss of love created a golden marketing opportunity for the Colombian flower growers as the theme of flowers was a constant throughout the film.

Growers, like Benchmark Growers located in Miami took the lead with Colombian Land of flowers, a marketing brand of Asocolflores ( Colombian Flower exporters) joined with Warner Bros to create a floral showcase at the Premier gala in Los Angeles on Feb.08th at the famous Manns Chinese Theatre on Hollywood Blvd.

The Roses, like the hundreds of Hollywood who's who, celebrities and media created a highly visual red carpet for the thousands of fans looking for just a glimpse of their favorite celebrity. Demi Moore with hundreds of Colombian roses, Julia Roberts with a large Colombian Rose heart, all a marketing success for the Colombian and for the flower industry in general.

International marketing expert Richard Griffiths stated" This type of marketing is simple in its execution yet the impact is without measure. My role is to show the world the beauty of Colombian Roses, the scope and size of Colombian roses and really the importance of this industry to the South American Nation. I have always believed in the power of Hollywood and when given a chance to link with Hollywood it is without question a winning combination.
