Guy's Guide To Flowers

   
Author: Tenley McDonald

We are here to help! With these helpful hints on flowers, you will feel more confident about choosing beautiful blooms for that special someone in your life!

Something Simple & Sweet-

Consider a mixed bouquet of daisies, lilies and wild flowers. This mixed bouquet is appropriate no matter what the occasion. Perfect for the "New" relationships. It simply lets that special someone know that you are thinking of them. A local florist can deliver the flowers to your recipient with a message card.

Someone need a pick me up-

A basket of Flowers or a flowering plant with a teddy bear is just the right touch to brighten someones day! Perfect for someone who is having a bad day or doesnt feel well.

True Love-

Roses can represent many things. Red Roses have been long known for their association with LOVE. But dont feel confined to just red! If you know she likes pink, then send her 1 dozen pink roses. For special occasions, such as Birthday, Valentines Day or Anniversary, make more of an impression by sending a spectacular 2 or 3 dozen roses in a vase. To be unique, send 2 or 3 dozen of a more rare flower, like calla lilies:) WOW! Add balloons and a bear for a real surprise!

When in doubt

Ask the florist. They are the experts! Tell the florist what kind of personality your recipient has. Maybe even what colors they like. With your sentiment in mind, they can recommend the perfect arrangement.

Include a Message

Always include a message with your flowers. Even if it is simply, From, John or Love, Phil. It can be very frustrating to some people to receive a gift without knowledge of who sent it. Simple sentiments like.. Just wanted you to know I am thinking about you today or Thank you for being you are appropriate. Of course, If the gift is being sent for a particular occasion, mention that. For example, Happy Birthday to a Beautiful Woman- With Love, John. Perfect! Simple and Sweet!

Add something special-

Florists often have many things that can be added to your floral arrangement to make it extra special. Plush Animals, Mylar and Latex Balloons and Chocolates are just a few of the items that can compliment your floral gift!

Timing- Remember to order early before busy holidays, especially Valentine's Day! Most florists suggest ordering a week before if possible. This will ensure a better selection of flowers and timely delivery to your recipient.

Finally, Don't order your flowers through a call center! These companies charge you a fee to process your order. Even if they tell you that they don't charge you fees, they will absorb a portion of your money, and then pass the order on to a local florist at a decreased value! Make sure you order your floral gift directly from a real local florist in the town you are sending them to. No Middleman, No Extra Fees! This will ensure that you get the best value & service! Your floral gift will be beautifully designed for presentation. Very impressive!

Tenley McDonald- Former Florist- Now Co-Owner of Flower Power Network (Online Directory of Real Local Florists) Ms. McDonald has over 14 years experience in ~Consumer Relations/Marketing ~Customer Service Management ~Floral Design.

As former florists, we witnessed all too often "Order Gatherers" taking advantage of consumers. They purchase ads in your local yellow pages, they buy sponsored ads in major search engines online, they create websites that lead you to believe that they are a local florist. These companies often work in a call center, far removed from the recipient of your flower gift.

These companies will process your $60.00 floral arrangement order and pass it on to a local florist at a value of $43.00. You paid $60.00! It just doesn’t make sense. We find these companies to be misleading and dishonest. They would never tell you that the value of your arrangement is compromised. They are happy to process your order and keep a portion of your money. Consumers deserve better.

Always make sure you are dealing directly with a REAL local florist to get the best value and better service!

We started Flower Power Network to educate consumers about how to get the best value and service when ordering flowers. Each florist in our directory has a retail flower shop in the community they serve. We only list florists that pass our "Quality Service & Product" standards, assuring you the best service possible. You can see where their shop is located by clicking on the Mapquest link in their ad. You can call the florist toll free and direct.

Here are the advantages of ordering your flowers from a REAL local florist;

~A Better Value!- 100% of your order is applied to your flowers and delivery, No extra fees!

~Professional advice- Only a professional florist can offer you expert advice to your floral questions . Talk to the people who know flowers, not pictures of flowers.

~Availability- By talking directly to the florist you know what flowers/gift items are available.

~In Store Promotions/Sales- You may discover that the florist is offering a sale or special promotion that you were not aware of.

~Your Specific Details- You can specify any little details about your order, even delivery specifications. Your order is placed right at the source.

~You are supporting a small business within the community! A business that in turn supports their community!
