Exotic Flowers in Boston

I have always admired Jim Mccann's marketing gimmicks at 1800flowers. He is one of the major players in the floral industry who steps in with new ideas and fun ones too. Recently, 1800flowers partnered with Visa and the NFL and created a football holiday known as Footballentine's Day. The idea is to send flowers to your loved one, because you are stuck at the TV watching the game. As if this gesture would placate your loved one for your lack of attention. It is is great to see these NFL Stars get in touch with flowers though. At Exotic Flowers in Boston, we even pitched Tim Tebow to endorse our products.

Unfortunately for Visa and 1800flowers, the NFL is surrounded by controversy and does not need commercials touting guys to send flowers to women while they watch football. After all, more than 55% of women watch football. 

Hopefully, 1800flowers steps up and donates a percentage of this bouquet's sales to combat domestic violence. 

If you get a chance, watch Eric Decker step up to the design bench and design a one of a kind floral arrangement. It is worth it. Likes a lot of Mccann's advertising, we pause and take notice. The floral industry needs more commercials.

I regularly boast of Exotic Flowers in Boston's ability to send flowers worldwide. Our tag line for many years was from 'Boston to Belgium, Miami to Milan,'. Unfortunately not all florists are created equal and sometimes we run into a few bumps in the road with flower availability in more remote town throughout the country.

Recently a Boston client called and asked to send Imagination Blooms with  orchids to Georgetown, Kentucky. I explained to the sender that while the florists in Georgetown do a lovely job of lush flower vases they could not offer the orchids in the photo for same day delivery. Alas, the sender was let down and chose to take her business elsewhere. We get our clients the freshest flowers from the best florist in every community. Some times they do not always have the exact item the client is looking for. For example, orchids are abundant in New York and Boston, but not so much in Georgetown.

One great thing about trusting worldwide service with a local florist versus FTD is that we offer a personal service that a corporate giant cannot replicate. When you call Exotic Flowers in Boston, real people answer the phone and will follow your entite your order and even provide delivery confirmation.

From the NFL's pink wristbands, cleats, and gloves to Major League Baseball's pink bats, the Energizer Pink Bunny, mega brands in America have stood in support of Breast Cancer Awareness. This awareness makes a huge effort in helping save lives, this branding reminds everyone how important to be screened regularly.

Floral industry leaders like Teleflora, FTD and 1-800-Flowers have also shown their support as well for creating awareness. Each industry titan has created a product to help increase awareness.

Teleflora has created the Pink Hope and Courage Bouquet. Exotic Flowers in Boston is a Teleflora member and is proud to stand with our partner in supporting Breast Cancer Awareness.

FTD offers both a calla lily plant and an azalea plant to help increase Breat Cancer awareness. Exotic Flowers in Boston is a longstanding member of FTD and is honored that FTD has chosen two items to show their support of breast cancer awareness.

1800flowers really comes through and offer four items to help increase awareness. Two edible items, one floral and one spa kit.  Although Exotic Flowers in Boston is not a members of 1800flowers Bloomnet group. Please know that we are in support of their program and can also send a replica of their pink rose arrangement anywhere in the Boston area to support Breast Cancer Awareness.
