Save the Florists Florists lose $500 million a year to drop shipping. Because of drop-shipping, independent florists are in danger of becoming extinct. Last
year alone, the floral industry lost over $500 million - yes, half a billion dollars - to
drop-shippers. That works out to 10 million customers a year, 435 customers in your shop
alone, lost forever. And the worst part? "You're supporting it."

visit savetheflorist.comWhat exactly is drop-shipping? Drop-shipping is the sneaky way some floral companies bypass traditional
independent florists like you. It works like this: a customer goes online, buys
what looks like a traditional arrangement, and a warehouse somewhere in the middle
of the country packs some flowers into a cardboard box and loads it onto a truck.

No artistry. No style. And - did you notice?-no florist. Who are these drop-shippers? Drop-shippers are the very same wireservice providers you're probably doing
business with right now. In fact, the CEO of one of these companies recently said,
"The direct-ship program... is roughly half our business." And not only are these
companies cutting local florists out of the picture, they're also encouraging the sale
of non-floral goods. When that happens, potential customers are gone from the
floral industry for good.
