on Mar 3rd, 2008Choosing the right online business relationship
Wow. When we started many years ago, we had no idea that so many would adopt the system that we made for sending flowers and gifts nationwide. In this myriad of companies that offer online flower and gift delivery, there are dozens of good companies but as with any other industry, there are more out there that are less than desirable. We are referring to companies who are set up to make the quick buck.
Patronizing a business is much like having a personal relationship. If you pick a dishonest partner, chances are you will get disappointed. Some may pretend to be something else they are not but in the end, you will find out the hard way that you should have taken time to get to know the service better.
When looking through Philippine flower delivery websites, first thing you want to do is get to know the company your are ordering from. You can see this through various parts of the website such as the “about us” and the FAQ (frequently asked questions) sections. Here you will get a glimpse of what your future partner is all about. Take note of websites who do not have these sections or those who try to hide things about them. We’ve all experienced personal partners who are not entirely truthful - it almost always does not end well.
Try emailing them or giving them a quick call to test if they are responsive to your needs. From these answers, you will get a feel of what they are like. Remember that buying flowers or gifts in the Philippines from an online store is easy, the tricky part is what happens afterwards. Will they keep you private information safe? will they deliver what they promise? Are they experts in what they are doing? Are they asking too much for what they offer? Is there a better deal?
Take mental notes. See if the company over promises or pretends to be something it is not. See if they work hard to invest in things that will matter to you. As with any relationship, the effort the other party exerts in making it work is proportionate to what you will get in return.
Always order fresh flowers. Send flowers straight from the farm through the leading Philippine flower delivery service.
