Who: Flower delivery service, Urban Stems, whips up some playful content with fun, albeit made up, floral lingo.
What’s Working: Establishing itself as an expert in all things floral, Urban Stems not only sells the product but (especially since flowers aren’t a frequent order for most people) provides instructive context to their same audience continually engaged.
What’s Not: The CTA, while keeping with the voice and tone throughout, tells the reader less than nothing. Why would someone bother clicking it?

What’s Working: Straightforward copy that recognized the issue, acknowledged it head on, presented a solution (settings update) and then pivoted seamlessly to intro the breadth and variety of all their content.
What’s Not: Plain text design that is hyped up on hyperlinks.
