Following the pandemic of 2020, there has been an influx in everyday services being done online. While this is not possible for some areas, such as hairdressers, some of the most common and popular walk-in activities can now be done digitally, and that now includes ordering flowers and bouquets online.
Online florists are growing in popularity, primarily because the websites do not have opening hours, allowing you to order your mum’s birthday bouquet the day before, so she will never know that you had forgotten!
If you are worried or have heard rumours that the flowers that are sent are not as good as the ones you could pick up in-store, read on to learn a bit more about why you should consider sending flowers via an online service.
Convenience
One of the key reasons why online florists are so popular is related to the convenience that they offer. Many of them have apps that are downloadable for mobile phones, and they are accessible 24 hours a day. Some can also offer same-day or next-day delivery.
Therefore, you can save yourself a lot of time hunting for the perfect bouquet and can send beautiful flowers by post with 2 clicks of your thumb.
Wider Variety
It is a common occurrence with shopping overall; you go to a shop to look for something, and it simply isn’t there. This can be a big issue if you have fallen out with your wife and her favourite flowers are tulips, but you can’t find any!
As many online florists operate from large warehouses, they can offer a wide range of floral arrangements and may even be able to order rarer flowers for you. They can often offer access to a wider range of plants too, so if your loved one is not a fan of cut flowers, you can send them a plant instead.
Fuss-free Delivery
There has been an overhaul in how deliveries work in recent times.
Now, you can track your deliveries via your phone and will get alerted when the bouquet has been delivered. This means that there is no need to worry about the delivery of your flowers being delayed, and you can even choose the time of the delivery, so you know that your loved one will be at home to receive the bouquet
Add-Ons
Most people are familiar with the small cards that can accompany floral bouquets. However, online florists have moved this service on a few steps and can now offer you a wider range of add-on services, such as chocolates, wine, and even personalised cards.
Imagine how happy your parents would be to receive an anniversary gift from you, with a bouquet resembling the one they had on their wedding day and a card with their favourite wedding photo on the front?
Year-Round Flowers
It may sound odd, but there are instances where some flowers simply aren’t in season, and you won’t be able to find them at your local supermarket or florist. While you may have to pay a bit more, you can almost guarantee that with a bit of searching online, you can find the floral bouquet that you want at any time of the year.
