Treat-Yourself Tuesday — Because You Deserve It

November 28, 2011 by Leave a Comment

Treat-Yourself Tuesday

This weekend was such a BUSY shopping weekend — Black Friday, Small Business Saturday, Cyber Monday. Well, we decided today is Treat-Yourself Tuesday. Why not pamper yourself with all the money you SAVED over the weekend? Ever girl loves flowers; start your day of pampering by having flowers delivered to your home or office. It only takes about 5 minutes to order (remember local, local, local!), and your whole week will be enhanced by the beautiful flowers and lovely fragrances. Your florist will take care of everything and deliver them right to your door! (Santa better look out!)

If you shopped as much as I did, I know you need a pick-me-up this week, and fresh flowers are just the ticket! Some might hesitate at buying flowers for yourself, but why not? Forget red roses, you can choose a style that is all your own with your favorite colors and flowers. You might be surprised just how many beautiful types of floral designs are out there. Tell your florist about your favorite things, and let them create a custom arrangement just for you.

Flowers make your day better, but don’t stop there! Continue Treat-Yourself Tuesday with a nice hot bath, your favorite teas or wines, a good book. You’ve spent all weekend thinking about gifts for others, make this Tuesday all about YOU.

Flower Shop Network is an advocate for real local flower shops. To find your local florist, click here.

Leave The Flowers To Us! — Benefits of Local Florists

September 26, 2011 by 1 Comment

I know around here we are always repeating “local local local!” but just what is the importance of using a local florist when ordering flowers?

Best Deal In Flowers is Local

Flower Arrangements From Local FloristDid you know by finding and using a real local florist you could ADD as much as 30% MORE to your flower order? Many websites online promise flowers, but take a large percentage of your order for their own pockets before they send it to a florist to be created. (Not FSN of course!)  This is not a good deal for you OR your florist.

How to tell if a florist is local:

  • Local Physical Address
  • Phone Number To The Shop Directly

Flower Shop Network makes it easy for you to buy online from a real local florist. When you select a flower arrangement from our Flower Gallery, you will be instantly connected to a REAL local florist in your community. You can also visit our directory and choose your own florist anywhere in the US & Canada!

Best Quality Flowers & Flower Delivery

Your local florist will have the freshest and best selection of flowers, hands-down. When you send a friend flowers from a local florist, you know they will be fresh and beautiful. A local florist would never dream of delivering your flowers in a box for your friend to put together themselves. (Yes, it happens!) Also, a local flower shop in your city will know the area and won’t get lost when delivering your important order.

Local Quality

Florists in your area will have expert knowledge of what flowers work best and last the longest in your area. Some florists even use locally grown flowers when available. If you host a lot of outdoor events, a florist local to the area is going to know the ins and outs of keeping your flowers looking their best throughout the entire occasion. You just can’t go wrong with a good local florist.

What if I want to send flowers to a friend who is not in my city? How do I find a local florist?

This is exactly where FSN’s local florist directory comes in handy! Here you can find real florists, as well as reviews, maps, and more!

So remember, for the best quality, service and freshest flowers — when you think flowers, think local!

Happy Birthday Jason!

Jason's Birthday

If you’ve kept up with FSN’s blog much at all, you KNOW how much we love cake and parties around here! Today we are celebrating the birthday of a man who we could not live without — Jason! He is everyone’s favorite handyman, a true jack-of-all-trades. If something goes wrong in the office, Jason is who we call, not ghost busters! He keeps our building looking new and in working order. (He is also really good at fixing broken cellphones, a skill we are ALL thankful for.)

You might remember Jason from last year’s Halloween pictures — he was a rescued Chilean miner. As you can easily see, Jason is known for keeping us laughing and keeping it fun here at the office. I’m not sure what we’d do without him. So,

Happy Birthday Jason!

If you can’t tell, we LOVE parties here at FSN Headquarters. Yesterday was a great one! The awesome head blog writer for Wedding & Party Network, our sister site, is getting married the end of this month, and we threw her a shower to remember! Kelly and her fiance, Bart, are gettin’ hitched on April 30th.

Congratulations Kelly!

Spring was the theme of this shower, and instead of the usual house-warming gifts, we had a Stock-The-Pantry party!

Stock-The-Pantry Party!

Everyone created recipe sheets with their favorite food dish and gave Kelly the dry goods to make it! Kelly’s fiance attended culinary school, and Kelly is a big-time party planner, so they both enjoy spending their time in the kitchen. Kelly received tons of yummy goodies from everyone! More pics after the jump! [Read more…]

Scam Alert: Free Website Ends Up Costing You $$$$$$

January 19, 2011 by Leave a Comment

Most of the time, when Flower Shop Network announces a scam it involves a single phone call and a single order. Once you’ve written that bad order off as a learning experience, it is over and you can move on to bigger and better things. However, the scammers are taking a different approach this time and hitting florists at the very essence of their business on a multiple order level – their websites.

These scammers are actually order-gatherers (OGs) who are capitalizing on the hard work that companies like Flower Shop Network provide florists. These OGs are conning florists into switching their strongly performing e-commerce url in exchange for a “free” website. Free isn’t really free in this case, because the OG expects in return [Read more…]

Arkansas & FSN Go Pink For The Cure

October 2, 2010 by Leave a Comment

FSN Pink For Breast Cancer

Go Pink For The Cure

Today Flower Shop Network participated in Arkansas’ first ever Go Pink For The Cure Day. In September, Governor Mike Beebe declared October 1st to be Go Pink For The Cure Day to raise awareness for the prevention and treatment of breast cancer. He urged all citizens to ‘go pink‘ to raise awareness in their business, school, religious or social group. This day will surly do great things for creating awareness of the importance of mammography and remove barriers that prevent women from seeking mammograms.

They asked us to go pink and that is just what we did! At FSN, we have been personally affected by the horrible disease. Not only do many of us have friends and family members who have succumbed to breast cancer, but one of our very own teammates fell victim not long ago. However, not all stories here are sad, we have 2 PROUD survivors!

1 in 8 women will be stricken with breast cancer in her lifetime. Until there is a cure, breast cancer awareness and early detection is the key. With early detection, we all win!

For every person who participates in Go Pink For The Cure Day, Gov. Mike Beebe asks for a donation of $5 to the Susan G. Komen For The Cure foundation. We did our part, now it’s time for you to do yours!

Our local news station really promoted this event and even created a contest to get more people involved. They asked businesses to send in their pictures of their pink employees and have updated the photos throughout the day. We have really enjoyed seeing all of the local business’ going pink and thought you would too. Check out FSN in the news!
