🟢 Always-On (Baseline Drivers)
(These happen continuously but spike around key dates)
- Weddings (May–October peak season) [floristnear.me]
- Funerals / sympathy (consistent demand)
- Birthdays / anniversaries (steady daily baseline)
📊 Why This Matters for You (Operationally)
This is where it ties directly into your role:
1. Explains Ticket vs. Intake Spikes
- Valentine’s = short, extreme spike
- Mother’s Day = longer, broader spike
- Christmas = extended multi-week surge
👉 That’s why your support data will never align cleanly with ticket creation — demand is behaviorally different by holiday
2. Staffing + Coverage Planning
You can map this directly to:
Tier | Recommended Approach |
Tier 1 | Max staffing, limited training, prioritize speed |
Tier 2 | Increased staffing + backlog monitoring |
Tier 3 | Campaign + proactive outreach support |
3. AI / eSAT Opportunity (your focus area)
- Tier 1 = automate FAQs + status checking
- Tier 2 = upsell / education prompts
- Tier 3 = campaign-triggered assistance
