How to send flowers online without breaking the bank!
A red rose is simply a beautiful flower, except when you are shopping for flowers on the web.
When you are sending flowers online however, cheap doesn’t have to mean ugly. With the average online floral bill topping $100, there have to be creative ways to send flowers online for less.
Whether you are sending a Mother’s Day bouquet, a “get well soon floral arrangement” for a friend or a special gift of flowers for your grandparents, you can send flowers online using these expert cost-cutting tips.
Search for flower coupons online.
Before you buy your next bunch of flowers online, place the name of your favorite flower delivery service in the search engine plus the word “floral coupon codes.” You can find free delivery coupons and up to 50% off roses, carnations and other seasonal displays.
Because the largest cost when buying flowers online is the shipping charge, using a free shipping coupon every time you buy flowers online.
Shop and save at a smaller, online floral retailer.
Yes, you can save money shopping at large flower retailers like Teleflora and 1800flowers. Why? The large volumes of flowers these big box florists sell give them room to negotiate with buyers looking for quick deals.
In the world of online floral shops however, the large online florists are traditionally more expensive than their smaller flower shop competition. The next time you send flowers online, search the web first for smaller and local, web-based flower shops for online deals.
Turn over a new leaf.
To save money on online floral delivery, choose designs that use large accordion leaves to add volume to the display. Large exotic leaves cost a fraction of pricey blooms, but still create a beautiful floral design without breaking the bank.
If you want the cheapest and most beautiful flowers included in your arrangement, ask the florist to include carnations, freesia, alstoemeria lilies, gerbera daisies, hydrangeas, chrysanthemums, and inexpensive seasonal flowers like holly sold during the Christmas season.
Order flowers from an online floral wholesaler.
With an online flower broker, you can get some of the cheapest prices around. But, unlike shopping at your neighborhood florist, you will be responsible for cleaning and trimming the flowers, and arranging them into a beautiful display.
Avoid weekend delivery and special events.
Floral costs rise during Valentine’s Day, Mother’s Day and on the weekend. Book your floral deliveries at least one week before special flower holidays and on Monday through Thursday.
Remember that flowers can be beautiful, no matter what the cost. There’s no need to go overboard with exotic tulips or black magic roses for your online floral order. The next time you need cheap flowers for a holiday or to honor the one you love, send flowers online from an online retailer to enjoy huge savings and big discounts!
