But how we celebrate is also changing, and its not just chocolate and roses. While the percentage of americans buying candy has remained relatively stable over the last decade, the number of consumers buying greeting cards has fallen off nearly 15 and the number buying clothing has increased by more than 5 . Many couples now celebrate the couple with a night out, which may include dinner to a restaurant or tickets to a show. 30 years ago, jim mccann was a disrupter before we ever knew what that term meant. He changed the name of his flower stores to a 1800 number. Today he leads the company with more than 1 billion in sales. Jim mccann is 1800flowers. Com founder and ceo, and jim, thank you for joining us. Good to see you. Good to see you, becky. Jim, ive known you for a lot of years, and ive never really known how you got started in the flower business. Is it true you were moonlighting as a bartender and heard about a it was across the street from the place i worked at here in manhattan on friday and saturday nights. One of my cheers who would stay later into the evening owned the flower shop and said he was going to be selling it. I thought, thats an interesting business. I was a social worker during the anytime. I thought, retail, working at people with nice times in their life, maybe ill give it a try. So i bought that flower shop and another and another and another. That was a long time ago, as you say. Were calling you a disrupter, because you were the original disrupter to the flower industry category, but youve reinvented yourself several times over. First it was the tollfree number, 1800, and added dotcom to the end when it came to online. Now youre into mobile. How do you keep changes with the times and whats the next wave . Its a multiheaded wave. Everything about local, everything about social. I think the best way for us to stay connected is to be, is to be paranoid about whats going to come next, the change. If you look at the essence, becky, of why we embrace all the being convenient, and its all about being accessible. And if we do that, we can really help our customers to act on their thoughtfulness. The more convenient and accessible you are, the more likely when you have that good thought like, oh, its valentines weekend, and geez, i ordered in my case, i want to make sure im sending those boxes of butter cream cookies to my grandkids for valentines weekend, im more likely to act on that if its as convenient as picking up my smartphone and placing an order in just a minute or so. And we still have stores, we still have the internet, we still have telephone access when its appropriate. And most of our customers are multichannel or omnichannel. They come to us whichever way is convenient or appropriate for them at the time. I know your Company Earned more than 1 billion in revenue last year, but less than half of that came from flowers. I think it was 55 or something came from gourmet food and gift baskets that were out there. Is that the trend that you expect is going to continue . What were seeing, becky, is our flower business continues to grow. Our food business is actually growing at a faster base. And now, more and more thoughtful, nonperishable gifts as well. Valentines day falls on a sunday this year. Is the delivery business, is that the worst time it could fall for you . From a delivery point of view, its actually a little easier for us, because we have a network of florists around the country, around the world who are set up to make those deliveries. More people are going to be home friday, saturday, and sunday than they normally would be during a workweek. So it retards demand a little bit, but it gives us a better delivery opportunity. So business on the topline will be challenged a little bit. But on the bottom line, in terms of being able to deliver a lot of gifts, a lot of smiles, and do it more conveniently than we can on a busy friday, so its a balance. We actually dont mind it falling on a sunday. Jim, thank you. 1800 flowers and ftd are the established online players, but new startups are also shaking up the industry. Kate . Reporter hi, becky, thats right. If youre in a panic over lastminute flowers for valentines day, its not too little. Theres a whole new crop of ondemand flower startups that are promising to make your lover happy in two hours or less. Rachel ciao is busy fulfilling sameday orders for the booth company. Theyre sourcing flowers from ecofriendly farms in south america and the states for nextday delivery, and theyve recently added Sameday Service to artisans like rachel. Their leaner supply chain cutting out the middle man leads to lower costs. One of the things youll see thats very different for us versus competitors is that pricing, especially this time of year, around valentines day. Armed with sleek apps, vc dollars, and a focus on sustainability, competitors in the ondemand ecofriendly space include bloom that, which wraps its flowers in compostable its own inhouse bike couriers for delivery. While spending on flowers for valentines day has remained stable in the past two years at about 2 billion, the more traditional florist industry has taken a hit over the past decade, going from more than 9 billion in 2006 to less than 6 billion last year, as Grocery Stores and online players have increased their market share. Which is why savvy florists like rachels are turning to the booths. As a booth customer, they keep growing, because they retain their customers, as well as theyre reaching out to, you know, many different people, and the demographic. Its not only valentines day, theres birthdays, and anniversaries, and gifts for their parents and things like that. So theres a lot of opportunity to keep buying flowers and just making somebody happy. Rachel is expecting a very busy weekend with some very happy valentines. Kate, why are these companies so heavily marketing the becky, when i talked to john tabt, hes saying a lot of people that work for him and a lot of the customers he currently has and hopes to have are millennials and they wont stand for anything less than a company thats committed to that ecofriendly sustainable product. And if you go on those websites and those apps, its a really seamless user interface, and thats something that speaks to the millennial generation and it seems to be something that all three of those companies are trying to market heavily towards. Kate, thank you very much. Up next, we are on the money. A year ago, cvs quit smoking, removing all cigarettes from its drugstore shelves.

As we head into a new week on the money. If youve never heard of negative Interest Rates, well, you are not alone. The Federal Reserve chair janet yellen says that they are not off the table. In her semiannual testimony before the house and congress. Negative Interest Rates means that the central bank would charge banks interest for some of the money that they keep at the fed. That could encourage the banks to actually lend more money, instead of paying the fed to keep it. Its never been tried before in the united states, but it is being used right now in japan and other countries around the world. That did stocks no favors. The dow falling 250 points on thursday, after an incredibly volatile and negative week. The s p 500 touched the lowest level its seen in nearly two years. Stocks rebounded on friday. But all is not lost. Burger king is going to start selling hot dogs right along side the whopper, flame grilled and everything. Menu in decades, and it comes amid increased strength in mcdonalds with its all Day Breakfast menu. There are changes ahead at your corner drugstore. Cvs, the nations second largest chain recently changed its name to cvs health. Part of the move to add that word was removing all tobacco from its stores. David doorman is cvs healths executive of the board. Great to see you. Thank you. I know this change went through a year ago, and some experts say it probably cost you about 2 billion to remove tobacco from the stores. Was it worth it . Absolutely. It was just inconsistent with our mission to be a Health Care Provider to sell tobacco. What we didnt expect, frankly, is to get as much credit as we have. People have responded, the view of the brand is better than its ever been, because they said, heres a company that made a decision to affect their sales and bottom line, and move forward with the right answer. Lets talk a little bit about one of the headlines that we and that is the high cost of drugs. Its back, front and center in the media at this point. Largely because of Martin Shkreli being called in front of congress. Is that representative of the drug industry, overall . So to generalize it, based on the behavior of a few bad actors is not fair. But at the same time, drug costs have gone up. And theres a cycle here, generic drugs, which have been a huge benefit to consumers the last three years, Something Like 90 billion of previously Ethical Pharmaceuticals on patent have come off, and those prices have fallen 60 or 70 . So for consumers, thats a 50 billion to 70 billion windfall. But at the same time, new drugs come on that are narrow in application, you know, they affect a fewer number of people than, say, statins have done and the prices are higher. But if youre someone who benefits from that drug, lifesaving drug, the price is, you know, less material to you. We have a situation where pocket for their drugs and for their health care at this point, too. So maybe its something thats hitting the consumer a lot more in the face than it used to. Well, as obamacare evolves and people make their own Health Care Insurance decisions, less made by their company and more about individuals, there is more choice. And sometimes those choices have higher costs than people ever realize, because their employer was paying for it, or the government. How has it changed your business from the care prescription side of the situation to realize that more and more people are selfinsuring and going through the Affordable Care act, obamacare . In our business, we see increases in Medicare Part d medicaidfilled prescriptions, which are negotiated very hard. Right. And tend to be very at the very bottom of the pricing stack. And individuals, at least, who are selfinsured, you know, who have not just copay, but total shock. Cvs also just bought 1,600 pharmacies inside target. Hows that Partnership Working out . Target is a terrific brand. Our brand will bring more foot traffic into target stores, so they win, and our Health Partners who look for convenience, they have 1,600 more locations where they can pick up prescriptions. And with our maintenance choice product, we allow our Health Care Consumers to pick up in store, mailed to their home, or to a pharmacy within the network of chair choice. You not only sit on the board of cvs, but several other boards, including yum brands. Where do you think we stand right now . How are americans feeling . With Energy Prices as low as they are, everyone who has a car feels this directly. So theres been a gas price dividend. Its hard to find where its shown up, you know, ive heard some people say that, you know, casual dining and dining in general is maybe up a little bit. Its hard to see that from where clearly, auto sales were up. So certain durables benefited, i think, from that dividend. But on the other hand, you know, were not in a robust economy, in this country, you know, given the recent economic numbers. Its a confusing time, because you wouldnt think we would be as linked to chinas problems as we are as a consumer of their goods, which theoretically should be going down in price, based on supply and demand. David, thank you so much for your time today. You bet. Up next, were on the money. Planning to tie the knot . Have before you say i this is a body of proof. Proof of less joint pain.

So you really want to have an future. Future. What will your financial future look like . And heres a really key point. This conversation. But you need to know this.

What is holding you up in getting there. What do you think may be a challenge for both of you going forward. And every question that youve asked yourself about money, you need to ask your spouse or your partner about that. And then, also, think about what their responses are, and listen carefully.

You need to understand where theyve come from, and what the potential is then to get on solid financial footing in the future. What are some of the dos and donts when it comes to one of the big things you want to hide debt, you dont want to keep secrets, and you really want to make sure that you dont label each other as a spender or a saver, but you want to make sure that you dont just automatically say, you know, youre no good with money, youre a total spender all the time.
