A savvy shopper is an educated shopper. That rings true just as much when ordering flowers online as when researching the purchase of a new flat-screen TV. There are a few things to keep in mind when ordering flowers online. First, you want to learn about the actual delivery. Are you accessing a service that will make use of the local florists in the delivery area? How much advance notice do you need to give the florist? Do they offer next-day delivery and, if so, is there a surcharge for the service? Will your florist deliver on holidays? What are the comments about this florist online? Are there any particular blooms that are particularly affordable at the moment (you don't want to mention the word "cheap" with flowers...) Can you find any coupon or promo codes?
During the online checkout process for your florist.com order, you can add a mylar balloon to your gift for $5.00, a teddy bear for $10 or a box of chocolates. for an additional $15. Your gift will automatically come with an enclosure card: you are also given the option to include a full-size card with your gift for $3.50.
