The common factor that we always consider in finding a flower arrangement is the cost. Flower shops have different ways of arranging the cost of their arrangements; some will cost hundreds of dollars while some are cheaper.

These are just some of the things that you need to consider:

1. The flower that they are using: rear flowers are more expensive than the typical ones, like the orchids which are more expensive than the usual flowers.

2. The florist: if you choose to hire a professional and renowned florist you must expect that the cost of your order is expensive, but if you prefer lower pricing then you must find some florist that will not charge you inexpensively. You can find them in the internet or try to search in the yellow pages; you can call them and ask their price, this way you can calculate the price of the flower arrangement.

3. The Quantity: Some florist gives a big discount to those who will buy more than a dozen. This is applicable if you are looking for flower arrangements and an event. You can get less than the original price.

4. The design: some of them depend on the price from the accessories that they will use, if you order a bouquet of lowers that have many accessories you must estimate that the price of your order is much higher than the usual, for example, if you order a bouquet with ribbons, stuff toys, balloons and a pot.

5. Delivery site; if you are inside the metro expect that the florist will charge you free or lesser in transportation fee, but if you are outside the metro area or international buyer, this may cost you hundreds of dollars or more.

Some of the factors that affect the cost of the flower delivery are the; payment for the staff, vehicle, transportation, advertisements, gasoline and other operating expenses. Some florists are willing to be paid at low cost because of the competition that is going on. Competitors charge their consumer much lower than the other shops price if it’s possible.

Florists also gives a commission to their agents who finds a buyer for them, some give 5% discount and 5%commission, they call this Commission structure, this is created for the full-service florists.

In an online flower arrangement website, they have different strategies to maintain costumers on their side, I’m talking about the membership; if you are one of their members, you can have privileges, and you can avail a discount which is a big advantage for a consumer like you but because of growing affiliations and increasing renowned shops many networks refuse to fill orders.

The fee is the biggest factor in the market today; because of the growing names of competitors and discounts that they can give because of this many online flower shops shut down and close the business for good. The best thing that a consumer can do is to help the flower shop business by purchasing with them. These way consumers can preserve the trading business.
