Margaret Manitoba Business

 

I felt kind of weird at first ordering flower displays for a funeral over the Internet. It's interesting what kind of preconceptions we have about such things. I was always under the impression that it would somehow "mean more" if I were to do that in person at a flower shop. Well, I went to a number of flower shops before going online to order from you, and it didn't feel right getting the hard-sell from them. That might be unfair because they're in business to sell flowers, but still, that's how I felt. I wasn't all that close with my Uncle Tommy, but it's sad when anyone dies, so I can only imagine how someone must feel talking to salespeople who are constantly trying to "sell them up" to more and more expensive pieces. I don't mean to sound like I dislike salespeople. But it's just easier in the long run to come to these decisions on your own. I ended up ordering the cross with the red stripe, and I got a lot of positive comments on it. Thanks for providing a service like this that people can trust.(Soren D., Juana Diaz PR )

I really like the FTD gift baskets you have available. Especially the ones with fruit. I think the only time my parents ever have any fresh fruit is when I send them a gift basket a couple of times per year.(Liz J., Texarkana TX )

I never bought anyone a bunch of flowers in my life, but then I guess that’s why I was single until my 38th birthday. Darlene loved the roses I bought from your florist, and I’m certainly going to be coming back – we’re getting wed next spring!(Don Smith, Yonkers NY )

Boy, you guys are great. Thanks for the service I received just to send a plant to my mother in Sheboygan. I love Russia and its many layers, but I've been homesick for a long time now. It's going to be a while before I get to be home again, but it feels like every time I send a gift over there, I'm sending a little piece of me also.(Ross D. , St. Petersburg , Russia)

Already this year I’ve had roses, carnations, chocolate and a beautiful array of Thanksgiving flowers; it's good to know who is sending them, but sometimes a bigger surprise when you don't know!(John T. Dent, Milwaukee WI )

As a writer, I love to brighten up my work area - as such I like to pop into your florist shop once a week and buy something to brighten my desk up. A recent Chrysanthemum was a very good recommendation by you.(Annette S. Hunter, Dallas TX )

Valentine's Day has special significance in our house because it was the day that we closed escrow six years ago. It was a very trying time, trying to sell a house and buy a house at the same time. My mother brought us a unique combination of roses and lilies that I hadn't remembered seeing before. It was so special for us and for her. She's no longer with us, but my husband now has taken over sending flowers to me from work: roses and lilies in the same flower arrangement. Thank you for helping us to both celebrate and memorialize this special day.(Christina K. , Kankakee IL )

I received one of your lovely gift baskets from my parents recently who had ordered them online. I was shocked to say the least - I didn't even know my parents had a computer!(Lynnette Charles, Riverside CA )

Is there a worse holiday to miss than Mother's Day? I sailed right over it last year, and I suddenly noticed a palpable sheet of ice in my mother's voice over the phone ever since then. That is, until this year's Mother's Day, when I managed to skiff over to your website and order the most impressive thing I could find (which wasn't easy, because there's a lot of impressive stuff). Now, there's no ice and I'm the talk of the town. All she really needed was something beautiful to look at for a couple of months and now I'm the favorite child.(Pearl D., Chico CA )

I love that you have so many things to choose from. I still haven't been able to even get through them all. I've found so many arrangements that I like right off that there hasn't been a need for me to explore further. I think with the amount of flowers that I send on a regular basis, though, that I'll quickly go through them all.(Angelina M. , Pusan , Korea)
