1300 guru, Jack Singleton, buys online florist – FastFlowers.com.au
Jack Singleton is renowned for the success of his business selling unique 1300 phone numbers that translate into easy-to-remember words (1300 Go Harvey, for example).
But 1300flowers is a number that he has retained for himself.
Singleton uses it to run and operate a successful phone and online flower selling business that has just got a lot bigger.
With last week’s acquisition of fastflowers.com.au, Singleton’s flower business has doubled or tripled in size overnight.
And Singleton clearly intends to grow the business.
Interviewed online last week (at switzer.com.au), Singleton said within the next year or so he expected to have 10 to 15% of the total Australian delivered flowers market.
“The delivered flowers market in Australia today is worth $250-$300 million dollars and 1300flowers is looking at having around 10-15% of that within the next twelve months.”
