This is unsettling news for everyone in the floral industry. Due to the influx of competition we all face, it's unfortunate that this could be a reality for anyone. Florists and vendors alike have to keep up with ever-changing technology in order to grow and thrive. We have to adapt to new generations that come with new expectations.

With 20+ years of experience, Flower Shop Network works hard every day to ensure that we're meeting and exceeding our customers' wants and needs. We know florists' needs because we were florists. Because we don't compete with our florists for orders, we can ensure all our florists get 100% of their order value, no monthly fees, and payments within 72 hours.
