Top 6 Reasons to Buy Flowers Online

Nothing beats the scent of a flower shop, it's true.

But these days, many of us don't have time to physically visit all the stores we want to shop at.

Online florists simply make it easy to do your shopping from the comforts of home, the office, or on the road.

Here's a list of the Top 6 Reasons to Buy Flowers Online:

1. It's cheaper. Online florists often use Promotion Codes, either directly on the product catalogue page, on their facebook page, or on twitter. These promotions can give you a percentage deduction or even dollars off of your purchases. Look for seasonal discounts, lifetime discounts for frequent customers, and bulk order discounts as well.
2. Better selection. There is NO way a flowershop is going to be able to have every design available at any given time. They may have 3 or 4 arrangements on display, unless it's "busy season". Online florists usually have lots of floral designs available to choose from on multiple product pages. And not just flowers, but fruit baskets, gourmet food baskets, plant baskets, balloons, and plush animals can all be "Add to Cart" items. A picture is worth a thousand words...especially in the flower business.
3. Value added service. I hate to say it, but many shops simply lack in the service department. Whether florists are too busy or simply don't have the technology, the service level is much better with an online florist. At a minimum, shops should provide an email Order Confirmation Invoice, a Delivery Confirmation, and a follow-up asking for feedback after the sale. These services add VALUE to the sale, but often aren't provided.
4. Professionalism. Whether you order online or by phone, the people processing your orders have a certain level of expertise. They handle hundreds if not thousands of orders each month. They know the right questions to ask, they get all the information required, and if it's our staff at Simon Says Roses, we do it with a SMILE. Even if there should be a problem, the problem is ours, not the customers...SMILE...and fix it...whatever it takes!
5. Convenience. Online florists offer you the opportunity to order online, AND the ability to phone at any time of day. Whether the phones are forwarded to a cell phone or to a live answering service, 24/7 customer support should always be available.
6. Did I mention Convenience? It goes without saying. It's much simpler to order from your computer, ipad, or iphone than it is going out to shop.

 Now THAT'S selection!
