Teleflora Be Happy Bouquet

[mcf]

Just noticed in TF's Make Someone Smile press release that TF is now selling the Be Happy Bouquet at $46.95.

It was launched at $34.95. We've always sold it at $39.95 + Delivery. We sell a couple cases a month.

Now TF is selling it at $46.95 + "delivery", but is sending it out at $46.95. No way this product is worth $45+ as shown. I'm thinking since they keep the $9.95 delivery and florists deduct $9.95 for delivery they couldn't get it filled at $39.95 so they had to up the price. Consumer Scam!

Anyone else sell it? At what price?

It is 39.95...A while ago TF added 7.00 to all of it's arrangements on it's website for florist delivery...It should still list on most websites that do not include delivery in the bouquet as 39.99...so TF charges 46.95 plus 9.95 and should be giving the florist 46.95 to which you minus your delivery and fill to value...

Sounds to me that Teleflora is listening.

But hey forget about Teleflora. You sell a couple of cases a month of the Be Happy Bouquet?

That's truly amazing!!

I buy a generic smile mug(not TF product) and make it for le$$!
It is amazing that anything with a smile face sells great!
Even if you put the word SMILE in the name of your bouquet, it helps sell it! We have, plush vase huggers with smile faces, ceramic pots with smile faces , and mugs and they all sell well, of course the price is right too...$40 or less....:thumbsup

Hey Eric,
I am still amazed at your balloon sales, that should make you SMILE!:headbang:

You sell a couple of cases a month of the Be Happy Bouquet?

Yes. I think it's the price point at $39.95. We have it on the front page of our web site. Have the poster by the register and a display in the showroom. We sell them empty, with candy, 4" plants, and at three price points in fresh. We're across the street from a hospital and that's where most of them are delivered. We also send out a case or two of them each Make Someone Smile week to different companies in the neighborhood, as well as participating in our TF unit community service project. Sometimes we drop one off to a secretary we bail out of a jam at the last minute. We want to make sure she remembers who took care of her when she needed it. Several doctor's offices across the street have them with pens in them at their reception window. Many of our corporate accounts use them as employee rewards for a job well done. One client uses it as their standard get well bouquet.

We also sell a lot of the TF Duck. Again, empty, with plants, or fresh. Store display includes old wooden tub filled with metallic blue fabric with ducks in/around it. Don't move as many of them because they are more geared to new babies and young children. Great baby shower gift, too.

It's all about the branding. We pay a lot to Team Teleflora and are making the most of it. We promote the product, therefore we sell a lot of it.

Wish we had the same response with holiday branded products like the good old days.
