Boxed Flowers for Valentine’s Day?

If you can make this:

valentine_s_day_roses

Out of this:

valentine_s_day_rose_surprise1

Then we want to talk to you about designing for us!

Seriously though, all too often consumers are duped into thinking they are getting the beautiful roses pictured in the top image, and when their gift is delivered they receive the later, a bunch of roses, wrapped in cardboard and a vase (maybe) in the box.

Sites like FTD.com show a bouquet of colorful roses in a vase, but unless you read the whole page, and click on their delivery policy you don’t know they come in a box via UPS.  And the price… $19.99… seriously, what kind of quality are you going to get for that price?  Not to mention, flowers delivered in a box, in Michigan in February?  Transported in the back of an unheated UPS truck?

Roses and other flowers do not like to be in temperatures below 35-40 degrees for too long.  Most UPS trucks leave and are out on their routes for the whole day, and if your roses are one of the last stops, they WILL be frozen.

Smith’s Flowers roses for Valentines Day are premium 70cm Freedom Roses from Royal Flowers Inc.  We sell nothing else and nothing less.  Yes we pay more for our roses than FTD sells theirs for, but we want our customers to receive the best roses, of the highest quality available.

Processing too is an important part, Smiths’ s spends hundreds of dollars a month to make sure the flowers we sell are processed correctly.  Our buckets are sterilized daily, we use Aqua Fresh for flower longevity and go to great lengths to make sure you receive the best, freshest flowers possible.

Once again this year, Smith’s is offering free delivery for Valentines orders delivered February 12th and 13th, so surprise your loved one and order from Smith’s, we will treat your order with care.
