Unique Flowers make a memorable gift!

   
Author: Tenley McDonald

Think outside of the box when sending your next floral gift! The possibilities are endless! Floral Design is an art and florists can customize a masterpiece of flowers!

Many florists put a sampling of arrangements on their websites for you to see, but dont feel confined to the photos! The most impressive arrangements are of an original" design.

Ask the florist about any specialty flowers they may have in stock. Inquire about alternatives of greens, grasses, ruscus, palm leaves, etc. Have your local florist use a unique urn vase, a large basket or another unique container instead of a standard vase.

When in doubt, play to the senses, ask for aromatic lilies, roses and orchids in striking colors. Combined in a unique elegant vase, this floral gift will make quite an impression!

Tropical flowers offer a unique presentations as well. Their vivid colors and exceptional textures are far more dramatic than a standard daisy.

To ensure that your recipient receives what you asked for, be sure to order direct from the florist designing & delivering the order. Call Centers/Order Takers do not know what the florist has in stock, leading to substitutions. You can also be assured that your order will be filled to value when dealing with the florist that will be creating your floral gift. Why pay someone to order your flowers for you?!?! Call a florist directly. Call the florists that the middlemen call!

So, use your imagination! A unique gift of flowers customized by YOU will be very appreciated!

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!
