Find Your After working with florists across the country and some across the globe, it is easy to recognize a few simple things that each customer and flower shop can do to make sure that all orders are processed correctly and the flowers are sent without trouble. A very interesting flower sending tip was recently pointed out to me so I thought I’d share.
Always give the recipient’s full name.
This seems simple enough, right? Not always. Many customers continue to do this but some simply address the recipient by their first or last name only. Others use titles such as “Mr” and “Mrs” that can be ambiguous. If an arrangement addressed to “Mr. Jones” is sent to a home with an adult Jr. and Sr. in the home, confusion occurs. If flowers are sent to an office addressed to “J. Doe”, this may be confused for John Doe when the recipient was inteded as Jane Doe.
Though this isn’t often a problem, it is important for those sending flowers to remember the full name of the recipient when buying flowers, especially when buying flowers online. Florists who take orders by phone or in person should also consider this when asking for recipient information.This will prevent confusion and keep the flower buying process as fun and simple as it should be.
Just a handy heads-up!
