How to select an Online Florist



Why would you choose an online florist instead of choosing a florist local to your recipient? 

Being local to an area doesn’t guarantee that your arrangement will be of value or fresh for that matter. 
If that shop doesn’t have a big following, chances are they don’t have much in inventory, and don’t diligently rotate for freshness. 

Experienced online florists deal with Professional Florists that they have built relationships with over many years. 
When you call a local florist shop to send flowers, they know you’re in another state and most likely won’t see the flowers. 

Does being local guarantee that they are nice? Of course not.
  • An experienced online florist will have developed what is called the Golden Preferred Florist List - florists that have been used repeatedly that they know have the highest of quality standards and professional timely delivery service.
  • It’s important that the online florist website be operated by a real florist.  Who can first guide you to the perfect arrangement within your budget. They know which flowers goes with which, how much it should be and what’s in season. And most of all - what particular florist in your recipients city will give your emotional floral message the professional attention it deserves. This is something you can’t get choosing a florist from an internet yellow pages or 'online floral directory'.
  • Aside from creativity, a good florist also knows how to establish rapport with the customer. They must be very good at customer relations because this is an important component of the floristry business. They must able to answer customer questions well and be able to provide customer with the same proper care and attention that he does to his flowers.
  • A good florist should also remember the types of bouquets or arrangements you prefer, he must be able to keep track of your occasions and send you reminders about them. This happens with the use of modern floral technology. A good florist will also ask questions so they will know exactly what your needs are.
  • A vital part of the business is the service. The florist must have his establishment at a place that is clean and easily accessible and he must be open at convenient hours. A florist should also have a professional opinion ready, just in case customers have a hard time deciding what he wants. In addition to having quality flowers, a good florist will also have other complimentary products available, such as nice, decorative vases, floral food, and other gifts such as teddy bears, balloons, cards, etc.
  • A great florist will have years of experience and many returning happy customers. It’s really great to find exceptional florist that you can always come back to whenever the occasion calls for it.
