not so fast young man...you've got more "splainin to do.....
ok i will lay this out step by step....
again first and foremost we are florists and nurserymen, with 6000 sq ft of greenhouses where we grow orchids, really we have a very beautiful shop, SAF has come to us looking for resources when they were doing an article on how to increase your sympathy sales... we work very hard at what we do, just like the rest of you -
we welcome your flrosit driect order - we serve the entire twincites - offering a 10% discount from your total
as an integral part of our business, we publish a website that allows me to do florist direct orders, this site has 2 portals - one for florists one for the public - this is free for florists, if they want to get involved they can put in details to share with other flowershops the public will never see - they can even add any given shop to a favorites list if they find them easy to work with - we get decent SERP's with this site for all shops listed - there is a very easy way for the public to flag incorrect listings...
please look at
http://www.ipflorist.com/ the internet's preferred florist association
hers is a sample of the 'free listing' for florist only logged in

i offer this for free -- so there is no way anybody can say i am on the take...
i have offered this sort of service for free since 1999
what i can offer???
this summer after the july 4th holiday, we will build out phase 2 of this platform which will allow actual public to complete florist orders and allow us, florist to florist orders via the web interface with no requirement for software to be loaded to your pc - all web based with a fool proof order notification alert for your shop telling to log in and get the order, complete with your new clients credit card...
make no mistake about it... we are dedicated to what we do with our work in our flowershop, and our work with our on line sites....
if anybody has any questions - i am always an email or phonecall away....
many thanks
phil
