I am a 3rd generation retail florist who has owned and operated a wholesale florist as well as a greenhouse grower & flowers importer in Miami. It is sad to see the profitability and viability of florists disappear. I have found that Direct Sales to the public by the Automated Floral Kiosk to be the solution for florist. Florist must brand themselves in the public’s eve in this time of wire service order gathering proliferation.

Weathers, I respect your experience, but I seriously doubt that the automated Kiosk is the answer to all our problems.
The performance of these kind of things has been spotty at best.

Hi Weathers and welcome to FC. I've merged your two intro threads together to keep them in one spot.
You are welcome to advertise your kiosks in the Business Products forum, but we do ask FC members to refrain from aggressively promoting their own products and services.

Hi BigTed, Thanks for the comments and the respect of my years. There is no single solution for “All of the Florist Problems”; some are inherent with the nature of the being. Complacency, pessimism, following the pied piper i.e, the wire services & order gathers turning second hand orders into a deficit for the florist. Allowing others to direct market their industry and toss to crumbs back.
There has never been anything before like the patented “24Hour Automated Floral Vending Kiosk” what you are referring to “The performance of these kinds of things has been spotty at best” is a Flower Vending Machine that is like comparing a model T Ford to a 2008 Lincoln. Our system, sells direct to the public, runs a 3 minute video commercial on a 17” touch flat screen, interacts with the customer with speech and text, allows customers to place orders for delivery on the Kiosk and the florist keeps all the money. Orders that are transmitted outside of the owner florist delivery area are sent at a 20-80 split with a $6 bonus to the florist owner. Payments are direct deposited that day once delivery is confirmed. The only things it can’t do is make its own Floral Arrangements and spend the profits. The florist has an interactive web site that works with and mimics the Kiosk’s on board customizable Floral Selection Guide.
All I can say is if a florist wants to establish his territory and stay viable he must consider the patented “24Hour Automated Floral Vending Kiosk” its only sold to florist. This is an opportunity to make money and advertise your florist for free.
Call me anytime 866-257-9504
Thanks for your consideration it’s your business we are talking about………
