Hey Flower Friends! 2020 just keeps gets better and better around here! We’re making it a priority this year to curate our favorite resources and get the information into your hands saving you time and energy so you can do what you do best – create extraordinary floral designs and grow show-stopping blooms.
Today, we’re crazy excited about the opportunity to introduce you to the Coolbot Pro and give you the opportunity to win one! If you’re not already using a CoolBot, chances are good that you’ve heard about it from a fellow floral designer or flower grower. If not, you’re in for a treat because this little device can change your business! We’re going to do our best to answer the questions you might have and give you links to more information about the Coolbot Pro. Then, be sure to follow the instructions for entry into the giveaway at the end of this blog post.
The CoolBot PRO is a patented Wi-Fi enabled temperature controller that enables users to create a low-cost walk-in cooler using a standard digitally controlled Window or Mini Split A/C unit. Plus, with CoolBot PRO you can monitor your cooler remotely and receive critical text alerts if your cooler gets too hot or too cold.
Whether you need a cooler for a cut flower farm, a budding wedding flower business or a potted peony operation, the CoolBot is a perfect choice. CoolBot customers around the world save on upfront installation costs, monthly electricity bills and expensive technician visits compared to traditional refrigeration systems.
To learn more about Coolbot for Flowers, click here.
Click on the resources below:
Humidity in a CoolBot controlled cooler will be exactly the same as in a conventionally chilled cooler. If you do want to increase the humidity level, you can oversize the air conditioner from the sizing chart. By oversizing the air conditioner from the normal recommendations, the greater surface area of the coolant coils is used to cool the air rather than a high fan speed. With larger air conditioners, CoolBot customers can run in the lowest, most gentle fan speed.
Some customers occasionally ask if they can use humidifiers in their rooms with the cut flowers. Sure! CoolBot recommends checking out this commercial humidifier. That being said, they generally find that it’s not needed, and the fact that it encourages and facilitates disease in the cold room means you really shouldn’t. If you want to do some quick spritzing on especially sensitive flowers that seem to be getting a bit more air flow than others, then go right ahead. Otherwise, it’s not necessary.
You can find in-depth information on CoolBot at storeitcold.com or check out the Store It Cold Instagram, Facebook, and Twitter accounts.
“The CoolBot is amazing, it was a total game changer for our business. Now we can hold the flowers and extend our sales window. “

Hello! I’m a florist from Sacramento, CA and would love to win a coolbot pro. Thank you for this awesome opportunity! 👏🏼
Omg the pro sounds AWESOME! I have the original but we are building another cooler and I’d love to add the pro! 🤗
Great give away!
This would make a world of difference for my new business venture. I am finally making my dreams into reality and getting my flower farm up and running. However with little toddlers at home the funds are tight and my investments this year are at a minimum. One of my biggest concerns is having a cool place to store my harvested flowers. Thank you for this awesome giveaway and the opportunity!
Hello! I have owned a floral business for 10 years and have worked all of this time without a cooler. I would love to change that, and to be able to have a place to store my flowers so I can offer more services to my local clientele. Thanks so much for the opportunity of this giveaway!
Hello!! Love the blog and podcast!
This giveaway is such a great opportunity. So generous, fun – and well timed! I am planning to build out a cooler this summer! 🤞🏻🤞🏻
What a amazing concept! New space needs a new cooler. Sounds good to me!9
Hello. We are investigating coolers since we are restarting flower growing after many, many years away. This would give us a leg up.

Ive sold my coolers in hopes of building a cool bot. Such an amazing giveaway!
Hello, Thank you for this generous giveaway opportunity!
This is next on our list of must haves to keep providing our community with local flowers. Thank you for the opportunity.
Just found out about you a couple weeks ago and I have been binge listening. I used to dread my hour and half commute to work but listening to your podcast makes it fly by! Also I just moved to TX, Houston to be exact, so I was so thrilled to find out you live near by! Hello and thank you so much for what you do!
This has been on my list of items I want to buy to finally get a walk in cooler!! So glad to see you promoting this, reinforces my need for one!!!
Cool 🤖 I need you! I know you’re in my future. Thank you for this fabulous giveaway.
Hello!! So excited for this 🙏
Oh man! It’s a SMART coolbot? Ok, now I’m getting more motivated to break away from the home studio and explore a brick and mortar dream. 🙂

This is exactly what I need for my flower farm. I’m building a cooler this spring and winning a CoolBot would help me so much!
Thank you for all the excellent info!

I’ve been dreaming of installing a Coolbot and then read about your giveaway – how amazing would it be to win?! I hope I find out! 😁🤞
Hello! Love listening to the podcast! Coolbots are so neat, I’ll have to have one for my micro peony farm once the peonies mature.
So exciting! This would be a great help in starting my new business!!
This is such an awesome opportunity! Thanks, BB!
I love the CoolBot!!! Would love to win this for our new studio space this summer 💛
Wow…this would be beyond amazing! I have sourced an old walk in cooler that was destined for the land fill from a building contractor. I just need the cool bot now! Love your podcast and blog! Thanks for the chance!
This would be great! Thanks for the chance.
My handy husband has been researching these for a walk in he is building for the farm. So excited for this. Thank you Coolbot and Amy.
Hello, hello! My name is Rachel Mabry and I started my floral business at the end of 2019. I work from my kitchen island, overtaking my counters and kitchen table with buckets and vases and all the stuff!! I don’t have a cooler and this handy little gadget would make a HUGE difference in the pace of my flower week. Thank you for all you are doing to give back to the flower community. I’m already so happy for whomever wins this little gadget, knowing it will change their game!
So exciting 🤞
Hi!!
This would be such a blessing!!
I’ve learned so much through your podcast, thank you! And so excited about this giveaway!
I have been loving all of your podcasts and listen whenever I am in the car. Thank you for all of the work you have put into sharing so much important information and for being so inspiring. We are ramping up floral production on our farm, so not only have you been extra inspiring, but a cool bot would be a game changer. What an amazing giveaway!
I would like to enter your contest for the cool it give away. Not very clear about entry information and where to place it. Your details about the product were very informative and gave great details about many facets of the product. It was very helpful. Thank you and please enter me into the giveaway. Thank you. Joanne joanne@gilmartindesign.com
What a fabulous giveaway! And botanical brouhaha you da bestttt!
I really appreciate your podcast. It’s a really enlightening thing for me, a flower farmer, to listen to.
I was just looking at this product and am looking to build my cooler ASAP!
Hello!! Love your podcast, and have been wanting to get a cool bot!
This would be a game changer! Thanks so much for this giveaway and all that you do to inspire and encourage 🙂
So kind of you to offer the giveaway. Thank you for all the information you share on a regular basis, I appreciate your space in the Flower world!
Just about to tackle my cool room build – it’s going to change my farmer florist game. Would be thrilled to win a CoolBot!
Such a cool giveaway!
And a great Q&A episode with Allison.
Hello! Thanks for the chance to win a CoolBot 😎
Moving a cooler around the country isn’t a realistic option as a military spouse. Thanks for the opportunity to win a Coolbot! I think it would be a great fit for my nomadic flower life. P.S. Loving the mix of shorter format podcasts, too. Smart move.
Great giveaway!
Hello,
Love your podcasts! They are beyond helpful since I’m still a new farmer/florist. It gets awful hot down here in SC, and a CoolBot would be a game changer. 😊
Yes! Yes to Botanical Brouhaha! Yes to Coolbots! Yes to 70 degrees on our flower farm tomorrow! Thanks for offering this giveaway and your overall flower power awesomeness.
YES! As a grower (flower wrangler) we need a cool bot to augment and surpass our small reach-in cooler. More flowers need more cooling! Fingers crossed!
Thank you for sharing your insight Alison Ellis and BB+! I love your mindset about how you determine price points. And let’s just say… as much as I tried NOT to collect a storage space full of floral design rentals…I have! I’ve been in the floral design wedding and event business for about 4-5 years part time and am now trying to minimize that storage space full of rentals. Its true, some items have only been used once for a client…maybe twice. Heck I can’t remember everything that’s in the storage space! Getting creative about how to sell those rentals and selling them at a smart price too!
The CoolBot giveaway is so generous – thank you for the opportunity! It’d be invaluable tool especially for the hot summer wedding season here in New York. I know it would work better than when I motivate with my floral studio AC unit to keep keepin’ it cool! ; )
This is absolutely amazing, thanks for the great giveaway! You always have the best floral resources and I listen to EVERY podcast religiously. Blessings ✨
I love BB so much! I have followed the podcast for a long time now and always learn so much!
What an awesome giveaway!
Wining this would be amazing!
Loved this week’s podcast with Alison, she’s always so down to earth and straight to the point.
Hello!
A Cool Bot is absolutely a game changer, and I’d love the opportunity to win one! I also want to thank you for taking the time to write this blog post as well as sharing the audio podcast. The written transcript is a blessing to those of us with hearing loss.
Always enjoy listening to Alison help make our businesses financially sustainable!
Since my small cooler finally bit the dust, I would be so thankful to win one!
I really enjoy the BB+ podcasts, and Alison Ellis always has great information! Thanks to all of you!
How cool a Cool Bot would be. My flowers would be so pleased !
Hello!!!
Hello… As a new small cottage florist I am excited to learn everything floral and the tools to keep my blooms happy!
I enjoy your podcasts! Thank you!
I’ve heard so many great reviews about the Coolbot – it is definitely on my wishlist, as I can’t get a traditional cooler down my basement stairs! LOL! #homestudioproblems So thankful for Alison’s FB page & podcasts like B&B to guide me through this journey!
This is amazing timing!! I just purchased a walk in cooler BUT I need the CoolBot for cooling it so it is next to purchase! As a budding flower farm/design studio this will be the game changer. Love what you provide here!
I took Alison’s online Flower Math course last summer. I found it so very helpful. It gave me a starting point by which to analyze my pricing and profit AND to know that everything I do for a job should be charged for! I booked my first wedding this May and I honestly don’t think I could have created a respectable quote without the Flower Math course and Alison’s email input. In addition, it simply directed my focus to idea that every dollar I spend, counts. I have done the research on a CoolBot a year or so ago and know it is a game changer for small home business’ like mine. Excited to have a chance at winning it! Thanks for hosting Alison, I love your podcast – please keep them coming! I am already a subscriber!
Hi, new to botanical brouhaha and really enjoying all the content you offer! Thank you
Hi, What a great give away! I have been looking at a Coolbot system and would love to have one. During the summer months it’s difficult to keep flowers here at my home business. Without an air condiditoning system, I’m always challenged to find a way to keep flowers looking fresh. Having a Coolbot would definitely up my floral business. Thank you for offering this awesome give away!
Wow!! What an exciting opportunity!! Thank you!!
So grateful to have relocated to a new creative space! Cool bot is next on our list. Wish me luck!!! xo
Hi y’all! My name is Reagan from Copper + Bloom Floral! I’m a wedding florist in Phoenix! That’s right! It’s hot here! And we’ve been looking into building a cooler for my events! This would make it an actual reality! xoxo
Hello! And thank you for the opportunity/giveaway!

Hello!
First time listener—love the shorter time so I can get through a full podcast during my commute. Will be back for more!
Thank You so much for having us who speak frankly about the joys and trials of flower farming and floristry! I appreciate the opportunity to win a cool bot. After four years of farming on other people’s land and doing my business on the side, I just managed to buy my own farmette. But it’s pretty hot in AZ and the Cool Bot is the next thing on my list to buy !!!
Thanks, Kate
