I'm new to this entity. I'm just starting out and very confused about wire service as far as price and service. Where to get flowers local or straight from the farm . CC service is a whole ball of wax. I have spoken to many people and have not gotten a straight answer. Please give input



Thank You

Hi, Welcome,

I'm pretty new too. I would recommend doing a search here on the topics you are interested in. I've only been in business 9 months but I made some big mistakes at first. (for me anyway). Personally, I would NOT join any Wire Service at all. Also, I switched to having my bank do my CC processing. I also started buying from Flower buyer and will be splitting orders with another shop about 15 away. In my opinion-Build a good web site that has nice pics with prices. Do NOT have it hosted by any Wire Service. I have learned sooooooo much by reading FC and I just love it.:kuddle:

Andrea, Welcome to the FLowerChat Community, you are among friends, and there are no dumb questions so ask away.

As you venture around FlowerChat you will get used to the way we have things organized, but Chez already gave you the key, do searches on topics you want info on and you will get lists of threads that have those words in the posts.

Also, you may want to read through the How To thread HERE

Lots of helpful tips.

I too agree with staying away from any wire service until you have at least 6 months to a year under your belt, once you get through Mothers Day you probably will not need one until Christmas, IF you do even then.

Again, welcome...you have found the best place on the web for florist information...

Thank You

Ihave been talking to so many wholesalers , merchent service, wire service and I'm so confuzed. It seems as everyone says they are the
best.:soapbox: But it all seems to not be what they say after I do research on them. My shop will be in a small town so Ihave to think of this. I love to market so I do think you are all right by not getting a wire service. I want to thank you for all of your input. This is a wonderfull site. But I think I posted in the wrong spot (first time) sorry.
