How do you know a Florist is a real florist? A florist who actually does business in the area you are wanting flowers delivered. Well, there are a few key things to keep in mind when and if you are ordering flowers online.
First thing first, let's face the fact that we are always in a hurry with a million different things happening. That is really the main reason we like shopping online because of the convenience and ease that we can get it all done in a short amount of time.
So when you do want to orders some flowers online, how do you know you’re dealing with a real florist? How do you know you are getting a good value and getting your monies worth? How do you know if you are getting what you ordered and you are not getting ripped off and tossing money out the window?
First of all, with what the internet has become, and as efficiently as we can do things on the internet. You are always going to get the best value for your money, and the best quality flowers and plants when you deal with a florist directly. Maybe you already know of a florist in the town you want to send flowers to. That makes it really easy for doing a google search to find their website. However, if you don’t already know of a good florist there are a few things to keep in mind when doing a Google search for a florist.
First, whenever you do a Google search for a florist. No matter what you use for search query quite a few of your first search results are going to be paid ad placements. They will be ads most likely for some of the old traditional wire services like FTD, Teleflora, 1 800 Flowers, Pro Flowers, or several other flower services we call order gatherers. Be careful with these as they are not necessarily real florists. They are intentionally making things rather confusing yet enticing just to get your money. Any of these services you could be paying anywhere for $20.00 to $30.00 approximately in fees that you don’t actually get anything for.
