As a small business owner we have to navigate a lot obstacles. Competing with an online third party should not be one of them.
A third party floral service has got to be the biggest waist of money.
As a florist who offers all occasion floral delivery it is very frustrating to get a call from a potential customer saying they placed an order with us and never received there flowers. It is nearly impossible to get them to even consider they ordered through another service that was not us.
These companies never see or touch a flower. They just host online store front and send these orders out to actually florist in the delivery area to fill the order. They are really good about getting found first on the search results.
100 percent of the time the customer has no idea that their money is being spent on a sending florist service fees and not the actual flowers. By the time there moneys is spent on the sending service fee, and deduct the delivery fee there's usually not very much left for flowers. That is if the sending service actually fallows through with actually sending the order out to an actual florist.
Your money is better spent if you call an actual florist in the area that the flowers are being sent.
Recently the latest online service even uses similar name as ours. 🤬 Confusing our customer even more.
