I spent 1 hour on a side project for my neighbor’s flower shop. It generated 18k in repeat sales!

She runs a four-person flower shop. Her entire post-sale follow-up system was a notebook.

The problem: customers would order for a wedding or event, love the flowers, then never come back — not because they were unhappy, just because nothing reminded them to.

I set up an automated email sequence on an open-source workflow tool. It pulls anniversary and birthday dates from her client list and sends personalized reminders before each one. The logic is maybe 20 minutes of actual work. The other 40 minutes I spent cleaning up her spreadsheet.

Three months later she’s attributing $18k in repeat orders to it.

I still don’t fully believe it. But her books don’t lie.
