Tell us about your brand! When did you launch, where are you headquartered, what moved you to start your business?
“We launched in 1999 with our headquarters in Cape Town, South Africa. We’re a family business creating luxury blooms for same-day delivery in Cape Town.

What is Fomo?
Fomo is a social proof notification that displays on your site where you want it to. The most common use is displaying live shopping data so that other visitors don’t feel alone. But there are endless uses thanks to our integration partners.
