About Running on Blooms
A flower shop rooted in community and joy
Running on Blooms is a vibrant floral and gift shop nestled in rural Ohio, celebrated for bringing joy through flowers, unique gifts, and unforgettable celebrations. The journey started with a vintage Volkswagen flower truck and has since evolved into a thriving brick-and-mortar shop complete with an event space. They specialize in fresh floral arrangements, curated gifts that can’t be found elsewhere, and beautifully designed kids’ parties.
What sets Running on Blooms apart goes beyond their gorgeous blooms, it’s their commitment to fostering genuine community connections and delivering exceptional customer experiences at every touchpoint.
The challenge: Rewarding loyalty without adding friction
In a competitive floral market, Rachael wanted to give customers a real reason to choose Running on Blooms. Her first idea was a rewards program for flower orders. But traditional loyalty programs came with problems:
Customers had to sign up and remember login details
Point systems were confusing to track and redeem
Extra steps at checkout felt more like work than appreciation
Rachael wanted something simpler. A genuine "thank you" that didn't require extra effort from customers or her team.
The solution: Automatic rewards that work in the background
Koin gave Rachael exactly what she was looking for: a reward system that runs automatically.
5% cashback on all orders
Extra $10 bonus for locally delivered fresh flowers
No sign-ups. No point tracking. No hoops to jump through. Customers get rewarded instantly after every purchase. It feels like a gift, not a program.
Results: Easy to manage, encourages loyalty, surprisingly affordable
The system works smoothly in the background. Customers get rewards automatically, which brings them back without adding friction at checkout.
What surprised Rachael most is the cost:
“I can’t believe it’s not costing me!”
