Many local florists now have their very own websites where you can view and order flowers online, that is great. However, the issue is so other larger businesses that pose as local florists, but they are really call centers! These businesses often call themselves 'networks' or 'brokers' and have the financial miens to design attractive websites and market nationally. They capture consumer attention by promoting low starting prices and hiding shocking and expensive fees until right before check out. For the sake of time and not starting the process over, consumers often wind up over spending money on these services. Hidden fees include: handling, service, shipping and delivery.
Are consumers really getting what they pay for when ordering via a network or floral broker answering services company? Reportedly, consumers are often disappointed with these services simply because they end up getting different things than what was selected online. Answering services company agents are order takers not trained florists who understand design, technique or even the meaning of flowers. Consumers don't realize they're paying more for answering services company (middle man) services. Sales departments take consumer orders, take their profits then change and call local florists which have fixed pricing/costs. Florists end of with marginal profits and also have very little information to work with on the design order. Another question...how fast do call centers process orders for on-time delivery? This is another commonly reported dissatisfaction by consumers.
