Online Flowers Offer Convenience, Savings And Quality
I’m a senior citizen and a retired florist. You might be asking yourself what the connection is, but both have to do with computers and with assumptions. Let’s start with the easy one: many people assume that seniors have no idea how to use a computer. Well, I can tell you that are bunk. You should see how busy the computers are at the rec hall and I got so tired of waiting around to check e-mail and play Bridge over the Internet with my friend in England that I bought my own laptop. The second myth is one that’s very close to my heart, given my former occupation: Online Flowers aren’t as good as the fresh cut versions at your local florist. I used to believe this too, until I got online and started checking things out for myself. I’ll tell you now, if you Buy flowers online from a quality company such as 1-800flowers.com, you will not be disappointed. As a former neighborhood florist, it really pains me to say that.
They say that magicians are loathe to give up their trade secrets, but those guys have nothing on florists. Thanks to those computers, you can track all this info down yourself online, so I don’t feel as though I’m giving anything away here, but the reality is your neighborhood florist probably sources a tiny fraction of their products (if any) locally. We Buy flowers from a wholesale distributor. Most of what we sell is shipped in from exotic locales like South America. The closest we come to “local” is the fact that we Deliver Flowers within our city. Choosing to buy from a web site that sells Online Flowers may mean that you can’t physically smell the goods, but you can rest assured that your purchase will include high quality flowers in an attractive presentation and the ability to have those fresh flowers delivered virtually anywhere in the world. Even though you can’t smell the flowers, you can browse through full color photos of all the different arrangements on your computer; it’s close to the same experience, but with no other customers to get in your way or clerks trying to talk you into spending more money than you’d planned to.
As a former florist and a canny consumer, I had to test this out myself. I fired up my laptop, surfed over to 1-800flowers and spend a few minutes looking at the assortment of bouquets and centerpieces they offer, and then ordered a bouquet of white roses. They were delivered that same day and they looked and smelled wonderful. I’m convinced.
