Whilst this industry grows on the Internet the local shops are always going to find this a problem. This has been well known about in other industrys for a long time. Maybe a public forum where complaints can be posted which will allow people to make their own minds on which service to use..

I agree completely that something must be done to reassure consumers. This hurts the entire industry. As an affiliate marketer in the flower industry who works very hard to follow honest business practices, I really feel like the unscrupulous affiliates ruin the market for us all. How is an honest person supposed to compete against such deceptive tactics? To make matters worse people like this make it more difficult to establish crediblity with the consumer. Thanks for shining some light on this subject that is in dire need of public attention.

Does your neighborhood shop have a marketing plan? Most don't. That's why the local florist group I belong to in Florida invited a marketing consultant to talk to us. She had many good ideas that don't cost much money. It's too complicated to explain here. But I shot video and turned the presentation into a DVD. Anybody who wants a copy should call my shop at 407-359-2484.

I read an interesting article in the latest super floral retailing about FTD. It is now affiliated with a chain of stores known as Price Choppers.I believe Price Choppers is an outgoing only member. It seems that being an outgoing only member, is reserved for everyone except the "real" florist.

Ellen, exactly. No florist should rely on incoming orders to base their business on, and in fact many may not have a need for any type of wire service at all. Local, direct customer contact will generate the best potential growth for any florist.
