Doing Business in Florence

From the first website visit to the follow-up message, we help Florence businesses connect marketing and communication so fewer enquiries slip through the cracks.

Florence is the cradle of the Renaissance and a major tourism destination, with fashion and leather goods companies and the Chianti wine region nearby.

Florence businesses often serve international visitors and buyers in English as well as Italian.

Key business areas include the Centro Storico, Oltrarno, Campo di Marte and Novoli. Our work for Florence clients is shaped by these local conditions, the languages your customers use (Italian, with English) and the regulations of Italy.

Florence Market Notes

Who your customers are

Florence's customers include tourism and cultural businesses, fashion and leather companies such as Gucci, wine and food producers in Tuscany and education institutions with many international students.

How they choose and contact a business

Florence customers value craftsmanship and quality, and tourism businesses need English content.

When demand peaks

Pitti Uomo fashion fairs in January and June, Easter and summer tourism are key moments. Across all channels we plan campaigns before these dates rather than reacting once demand has already peaked.

Where customers search and shop

Searches mention the Centro Storico, Oltrarno, Santa Croce, Campo di Marte and Fiesole. We use these area names across your website, local SEO, ad targeting and message segments.

Digital Habits and Channels in Italy

Italy has high smartphone use, and WhatsApp is the dominant messaging app for both personal and business chat. SMS is common for appointment reminders, deliveries and bank codes, and alphanumeric sender IDs are supported. Italy's updated Registro delle Opposizioni since 2022 also covers mobile numbers, so telemarketing lists must be checked against it.

Cash is still used more than in northern Europe, but cards, contactless payments, PayPal and Satispay are growing fast, and many families rely on PagoPA for public payments. Business culture values personal relationships and phone calls. The calendar includes the winter and summer sales (saldi), Ferragosto in mid-August when many businesses close, Black Friday and Christmas, and regional holidays for each city's patron saint.

Italy's economy includes manufacturing (machinery, cars, fashion, furniture), food and wine, and tourism. VAT is 22%. The Registro Pubblico delle Opposizioni lets consumers opt out of telemarketing calls, and since 2022 it also covers mobile numbers. Satispay and PayPal are popular online payment methods alongside cards.
