KUALA
LUMPUR, 15 August 2018 - “Say it with flowers!”
Creating moments of love by sending flowers to your loved ones has gotten so
much easier as the flower delivery industry booms with the growth of e-commerce
worldwide. Imagine selecting your favourite bouquet and arranging for delivery
as simple as a few clicks away.
From birthday bouquets to congratulatory
flower stands, special messages on Valentine’s and Mothers’ Day, Flower Chimp caters to all your blooming
needs from as low as MYR89. Ahead of
its competitors, Flower Chimp offers
a nationwide network which covers more
than 80 districts across Malaysia, including in Sabah and Sarawak. Such
wide coverage makes the platform the preferred online florist among consumers
who enjoy further benefits with its free
delivery on all orders at no minimum spend. Consumers can also arrange for
the same day delivery for any orders
made before 1 pm to surprise their loved ones.
“Despite being a new player in the flower
delivery business, Flower Chimp has
grown into a household name in this industry. In less than two years, we became
the No 1 choice in the online flower delivery service in Malaysia, Indonesia
and the Philippines recording five (5)
times growth compared to last year,” said Maximilian Lotz, Founder of Flower Chimp.

Following its promising performance in the online florist service, Flower Chimp has recently secured an investment of MYR 6 million from its investors including Asia Venture Group (AVG), a private company that sees the promising potential Flower Chimp offers through its unique business model and marketing strategies. The same company has also invested in iMoney, Happy Fresh and iPrice. “We aim to expand our reach to a new market in Singapore by the second half of August 2018, and other countries in Southeast Asia including Vietnam, Thailand and Hong Kong by 2019,” Lotz added.

our customers to return to find what they are looking for,” said Frassa.
Elaborating further, Frassa said, “With the
power of online marketing and social media, we aim to enhance our branding and
become the top-of-mind for our customers to look forward to as they become more

from Q4 2018 to Q4 2019, Flower Chimp will grow three (3) times over with contributions
from all four major markets namely Malaysia, Singapore, Indonesia and the Philippines”.

Flower Chimp was established in 2016 by two
German entrepreneurs, Maximilian Lotz and Niklas Frassa who have been living in
Southeast Asia for several years. Combined with their stint in the Netherlands,
a known epicenter of floriculture; they decided to dive into the flower
industry and set a new standard for online florist services. With the
customers’ best interests at heart, Flower Chimp has been catering to the need
for high quality flowers at affordable prices complete with nationwide free
delivery. As the business grows, the team continues to improve on its services
and research & development to offer more variants of flowers to the growing
market.
Currently, Flower Chimp is operating in
Malaysia, Indonesia and the Philippines. In the near future, the two ambitious
entrepreneurs will launch their platform in Singapore and other Southeast Asian
countries.
