article on local florist vs online florist
With almost every home having a computer and the convenience of the internet, it has made buying and getting flower arrangements delivered to friends and family so much easier and less time consuming than ever before. Is this actually all correct information or is the public being fooled?
It appears that now-a-days Florist shops are fighting to keep businesses alive, mostly because internet companies are pretending to be local live flower shops. While these internet florists have the revenue to pay internet sites to increase their ratings as “local florists”, the actual local Florist is pushed down lower on the search engine receiving less business. The majority of people don’t even know they’re not talking to a local Florist and are fooled from the beginning.
In reality this is costing the local Florists tons of business and essentially putting some out of business. The “middle man” flower shop individuals are ordering from creates several problems with ordering issues and even delivery issues. Most cases the customer is paying much more money than what the “filling local florist” is receiving because of unnecessary fees the customer is paying.
In order to battle this issue with trying to cut out and be aware of who the middle man is, there are a few things to look at.
First, when you go to the florists website make sure you see that they have local information (such as phone number and address located where the flowers are being sent).
Make sure the site has information about their shop, such as a section of the site that shows who they are and about the local flower shop. All local shops will have sections on their site that explains their business in more detail.
Check on the Flower Shops site for a ‘facebook’ link or ‘blog’. This is a way to see the shops individual photographs and also the information from customers who have used them in the passed.
Another good way to see if a business is local and accredited is to research a major search engine for the shops name and city. See if they have reviews from previous customers and what they say.
If you decide to call the local flower shop, you can find they probably have more than just flowers. They may have fun and corky gifts as well. That can be fun to send with the arrangements that you have chosen. Also, when talking to the designer personally, you can usually get a better idea of what exactly will be sent (since not always will the flowers you choose be in stock).
If you want to send out a flower arrangement and are out of the area, it is always a better idea to deal with a live and local flower shop. When dealing with a personal florist, most of the time you can talk to the designer creating your arrangement. You receive more for the money that you spend and you can create a relationship with a local business for future transactions.
With all that being said, the next time you need to order flowers to a loved one, try and find a true local flower shop. If you ever come to visit the person in the area you send arrangements, stop by their location and introduce yourself. Everyone likes to have a face to a voice and name.
If you are having a hard time finding a local florist, look online at the www.findaflorist.com It stands for flower shop network. It is a site that gives only local flower shops in the city and state you choose.

Tricks to keeping your arrangements FRESH LONGER
I’ve done some research and found out some easy tricks on “at home remadies” on keeping your fresh flower arrangements lasting longer and stronger!!
***First is Aspirin::
It’s been studied and shown that it keeps roses and fresh cut flowers living longer. What you need to do is put the asprin somewhere it can be crushed up, such as a baggy and add water to it before you put it in the arrangement. DO NOT just drop an asprin into a vase, it will not work the same.
**The next one I studied was bleach
Although I have not tried this personally, I did a lot of research on if you add about 1/4 tsp of bleach per quart of water in your vase. What bleach does, is helps to keep yucky bacteria from growing in your vase. Don’t forget to change out your water every few days and repeat.
***I also read that Hair Spray fresh cut flowers healthy and longer lasting!
The same way hair spray can keep your hair looking better longer spray can keep your cut flowers last looking longer! Stay back from the bouquet as you spray and spray ONLY on the backsides of the leaves and petals of the flowers.
****Sugar is also a good way to preserve your fresh cut flowers
Take 3 tbsp of sugar and dissolve in a small amount of white vinegar for every quart of room temperature water. When you fill the vase, make sure the cut stems are covered by 3-4 inches (7-10 centimeters) of the prepared water. The sugar helps keep the vitamins in the fresh cut flowers and the white vinegar (like bleach) helps with keeping bacteria from growing. You will be very shocked at how long these flowers stay fresh in the vase.
HOPE THIS HELPS! Call us at our Flower Shop in Cape Coral Florida, Enchanted Florist of Cape Coral, for more information!
