International E-florist Startup is Making Over A Million $! - 1 views

  •  
    When the Valentine's day is so close e-business gives us a new way out if you have forgotten to buy a gift and yet have no time to do it. The main feature - speed. E-commerce start up is going back to basics with the oppotunity to order flowers online. This website is an international venture working 24/7, partnering with thousands of local suppliers all over the world. Flowers as a product of daily need when widely distributed with no time boundaries can be a good deal for you and a segment of market which still has a lot to innovate. At the same time the website has an oppotunity to be dedicated not only to various plants but to gifts of all kinds which is fantastic because every day of a year is a holiday for somebody.

    I read the article and I don't really see how this company is so different then a 1-800 Flowers or Proflorist (which had an ad on the same page as this article). How is floristAdvisor using E-commerce to out sell its competitors? Is it the same day delivery guarantee?

    Hi Melissa, it was very interesting to get your comment and I actually would also be interested in knowing the differences between those to companies. Probably the best way to know is to order flowers by both of them, and compare the charges and service. Do you think that there still are some more useful ideas with this particular business (flowers) ? Have you ever ordered flowers online?

    It is a good idea for selling daily stuffs online. It is tightly related to the Global Distribution System. I have the same question like Melissa, is it guaranteed to be delivered in one day? And does the website have a cheaper price? Otherwise why people choose to use online distributors rather than just going to Supermarket to get flowers at the same price?

    Yes I have ordered flowers online before through 1-800 Flowers because I needed flowers delivered in another state and I was not familiar with the florists in the area. I trusted the Teleflora company (1-800 Flowers) to have the same quality of flowers in all locations but this is simply not true. I was very disappointed on several occasions by having wilted old flowers in small arrangements delivered. Not only is it embarrassing but it is frustrating to the consumer having paid so much money and not been happy with the product. I do not use these online companies anymore. I go to the florist websites and go by word of mouth which is time consuming (something I was hoping to avoid by using the online florist in the first place). That is why I bring up the question of how this floristAdvisor differs from other companies and how are they succeeding? Bing I like to go to the supermarket and make my own arrangements if they receiver of my intended bouquet is close by. Fresh Market has excellent flowers, a bit pricey but they are great quality and last.

    Actually while browsing the website I couldnt find any information about the guarantee... And the prices are unexpectably high which shows that this business has yet a lot to improve. I ve never ordered flowers online and your information, Melissa, was really helpful for me.

Amid the Spread of Coronavirus, the Wedding Industry Faces Uncertainty - 0 views

  •  
    The article discuses how as many cities have banned large gatherings to slow down the spread of Covid-19, many couples that were set to marry in the months of March, April, and May, have now been forced to either cancel or postpone their weddings. Many couples may lose their deposits and may have to settle for weekday wedding when rescheduling, as it will prove challenging to find dates that will work for all vendors (venue, florists, caterers, entertainment, insurance), specially for summer and winter dates of 2020 as the more weddings become rescheduled. However, for planners and vendors business revenue will be greatly reduced for the coming months, putting business-owners under pressure to come up with money to pay their staff and keep their business alive until the crisis passes.
