Florists earn the money they make by providing you with both products and services. The flowers are their product and arranging them, storing them and delivering them are some of the services.

Growers provide you with a product, the flowers and materials to arrange them. Delivery is done by a shipping company such as FedEx. Delivering with a shipping service means a much wider coverage area for grower direct deliveries than traditional florists.

Your local florist is just a phone call away, or so you think. Some unscrupulous telemarketing firms are posing as local florists, charging you higher fees and taking business away from legitimate florists in your town.

Selling flowers through a wire service or order taking service is a legitamate way to do business. Many top growers and florists use this business model.

However, deceiving customers into thinking they are ordering from a local florist is not legitamate.

The Society of American Florists recommends:

Look for a floral shop that offers the product mix, level of service and design style that fit your needs.

But what does this mean?

The Society of American Florists recommends:

Personal Attention: Choose a florist who will get to know you, keep track of your floral preferences and send reminders of upcoming special occasions.

There are many benefits of getting personal attention from a florist. Florists have a wealth of knowledge about flowers and can help you make the right choices when buying flowers.

Different florists have different ways of running their business. Some florists specialize in arrangements and projects that require spending a great deal of time with each customer. Other florists specialize in elegant arrangements that can be made quickly and that will be pleasing to anyone.

Obviously, you will have different needs if you are planning a wedding than if you are just picking up some flowers for a spur of the moment gift.

Florists are the traditional link the public has with the floral business. Most local florists are small businesses with well under $1 million per year in sales. They care for and store flowers, take orders, make floral arrangements, make deliveries and all the hundreds of other tasks required to run a business.

In addition to having a large variety of technical and business skills, a successful florist must also be highly artistic.
