I was just Googling "Florist in Minneapolis" like I do almost everyday and I noticed Honestflorist.con on Adwords. Looked exactly like any ordergather ever, you know the whole delivered in your town blagh blagh, when I noticed they had a clock at the top of their web page that said, "there are 3 more minutes left to order your flowers for todays delivery". WTF?? It was 3 minutes to 8pm. How do they guarentee late pm local delivery in all these towns in every city? This seems like the biggest crock of $%#t I have ever read on the web. And the prices are cheaper than dirt. Way to go HonestFlorist!

wait til they call you with an order that the customer wants "downsized".
Yep, they are becoming "not so honest" as far as I'm concerned.
BTW, I hate it when anyone says I'm part of "their network of florists" which is why I won't be affiliated much longer!
 
Who are they?

Does anyone know what FTD shop this is, so I can refuse to fill for them? They are advertising under Pittsburgh also.
 
my question is how do you down size by $1? $2? even $3 on a FTD pink Lilly bouquet? This site is just stupid......I feel sorry for the consumers that fall for their tricks.....I won't me filling for them..just like Flowers Ca and Just Flowers etc...
 
Thank you for spotting this bug, It's obviously not working as it should. I appreciate you keeping an eye on things for me.

I noticed that time clock thing too, I think it's a twist on an old tv marketing trick. Ever notice on some of those tv ads "but wait, time is limited, you have only 45 secs to take advantage of this limited time offer...". I think those home shopping networks use the same psychology, show a countdown clock and you will see a better conversion ratio.

If you scroll down to the very bottom of the page that is showing in your area, you might find your shop listed there.....or other shops that serve that same area....complete with an address and a link to a phone number.

Look for this text: "Florists Serving [fill in your city]"
