I just finished up doing a consultation for a florist, and one of the glaring items was their membership fee to FTD. This florist was in a fairly normal sized city, with more than 3-4 members.
The thing that was troubling was that they were paying $219.99 a month... are you??
Here's the deal... "Small Town" (not sure what that means) $79.99 a month
Cities with ONE member $219.99, more than one member $149.99 a month.
Judging by the numbers, I'd bet there are thousands of members paying $70.00 a month, $840.00 per year more than they need to be. FTD will not tell you this, it's not in their best interest, but if you call they'll lower your rate...my florist did...
One other tool you can use is the Wire Service Calculator found here
