what blows my mind is that TF allows 1800 to use their network. It just doesn't make any sense for the largest nationwide network of florists to allow an upstart to take advantage of their hard work. They have no coverage out here, and we get a 1800 order through Dove about 3 times a week. I reject it, but I am sure they find someone to fill that cheap ugly crap.

I had a bloomnet rep. stop in yesterday. There isn't any filling shops for them here. Unfortunately 2 of my competitors are ftd and tele. so they can still be filled. I thought it was funny he asked me flat out if I was familiar with ffc almost as soon as I said there is no way I would go back to a wire service. He said he was on a conference call the night before on that very subject. Supposedly they are taking a wait and see approach.
And today I had a nice conversation with a teleflora rep. Of course they agree "florist" need to change.
I was very polite, honestly because he's right, I do need to change. I'm taking an online webpage design class - watch out Ryan - I'm learning "code" and finally get what tags are. I can't wait to learn about all that linking nonsense!!!!
