Use
a REAL Florist - Not an Office/Call Center
Here's why you should never use the Big Nationwide
800 numbers
"ORDER COLLECTORS"
Wiring flowers is an entirely different thing
today than it was in the past. There has been
such a proliferation of 800# "Order Collectors"
that are reducing the value of flowers by wire.
Everyone wants in on the game, from the biggest
800 number companies to internet order collectors,
everyone BUT florists! They have figured out
how to get a large percent of YOUR money when
you send flowers through them. We think they
are parasites, and they are the reason for flower
prices increasing.
There is a disturbing
new trend now among the big wire services.
It seems they aren't happy making the 7% of
the value of wired flowers, plus monthly fees
and advertising revenues paid by their members.
So they have started their own services to collect
orders, competing with their own members for
profits. They are advertising in places
like search engine banners, gasoline company
credit card statements, direct email, phone
bills, television, America Online, you name
it. This is big money. YOUR money.
What we recommend
is using a professional full service florist
with a good understanding of the industry and
the products, with experience in long distance
flower deliveries. This is often designated
by a florist's ranking within a wire service,
such as our Top 50 ranking with FTD. This
comes from years and years and thousands upon
thousands of long distance delivery orders.
We have a list of Preferred florists nationwide
that is second to none, and by using this we
can guarantee the final product. Simply
choosing an untested florist in the recipient's
city is no guarantee of quality. Years
of experience is. This is why we can say...
We Deliver the
Freshest Flowers - and We Guarantee It!!!
