Online options for ordering flowers are readily available but what exactly transpires after the order is placed?

Usually the information is gathered prior to simply forwarding the order to a local florist to fill. With, of course, an added service charges to you and often a percentage of a sale, as well! Customers are often totally unaware of all these fees until they’ve gotten their credit card statement. Ouch. Many of these orders are simply accumulated by telemarketers and online marketers in an office setting that has absolutely nothing to do with being a florist.

While there are many advantages to using your local florists, paying more than you should is not the least of them. In addition, your florist will advise you on what’s currently fresh and readily available. They are adept at creating custom designed arrangements that make a statement and are as individual as the recipient.   

Your local florist CAN and should handle the long distance deliveries, as well. They often know who the best florists are in other cities as well as who to avoid. Your satisfaction will be guaranteed, you’ll know exactly how much you’ll be charged and you’ll even have comfort in knowing you’re supporting your local business.

Flowers are almost always appropriate but only if the selection fits the occasion. The best values, quality and service come from dealing direct.
