Choosing Online Florists

With the second Sunday of May fast approaching, many turn to online florists to deliver Mothers day flowers.  How do you choose an online florist and get the best deal?

An online florist may be a brick and mortar flower shop with its own website and a business relationship with other florists in the customer's locality. Floral arrangements are made and delivered by the local flower shop. This makes same day delivery and redelivery (when the recipient is not available) possible. It is best to do business with online florists who have been in business for many years such as 1-800-flowers or FTD. These companies generally have a large selection of gift ideas like confectioner baskets and beautiful potted plants. Choose one with good support both online and by phone in real time. Needless to say, these online shops have secure check-out systems. Often, these companies have really good discount promotions such as 1800flowers coupon for Mothers Day.

Another type of online florist is the direct shipper which may be a flower broker, grower, or flower warehouse. These online flower shops can be a good source of cheap flowers. They offer a variety of cut flowers, carefully boxed and shipped overnight. They offer many choices at a good price for the person who does not mind making her own flower arrangement.
