Advertising Teleflora ran an advertisement during the
2011 Super Bowl featuring
Faith Hill; in the advertisement, a man sends flowers to his girlfriend with the message "Dear Kim, your
rack is unreal". Unfortunately, his love letter is a "bust." Teleflora's partnership with
Faith Hill included a new collection of flower arrangements for Valentine's Day 2011. In 2012, Teleflora ran a similar Super Bowl campaign, this time with model
Adriana Lima. A 2022 advertisement features Mrs. Claus. Another ad campaign shows a teacher receiving flowers from a student. ==References==
