In the hustle and bustle of modern life, convenience often wins out. But when it comes to flower purchases, opting for order gatherers—those go-betweens who shuffle orders to local florists—may not be the best choice. Join us as we uncover the real cost of choosing order gatherers over local florists and the value of how local florists like Rose of Sharon Floral Design Studio are essential for consumers and communities.

Understanding Order Gatherers

Order gatherers, the behind-the-scenes players in the floral industry, operate as intermediaries between customers and local florists. They flood the online marketplace with flashy ads and tempting offers, promising the world in floral arrangements for every occasion. However, many don't realize the hefty price tag and reduced quality that comes with these order gatherers.

The Ripple Effect on Consumers and Local Blooms

Choosing order gatherers over local florists can have several negative consequences. While customers may think they're getting a deal, they often pay more for lackluster arrangements. 

Moreover, since order gatherers prioritize volume over quality, the flowers may not be as fresh or well-arranged as those from a local florist. Meanwhile, local florists lose out on revenue and the chance to form lasting connections with their community. 

Order gatherers may also reach out and try to convince local florists to fill the arrangement for a pay cut. This means you may not get the full quality you are paying for in your arrangements in this race to the bottom.

How to Avoid Order Gatherers

To avoid using order gathers and provide business to local florists like Rose of Sharon Floral Design Studio, if you search for florists, be sure to look for florists with a local shop or address. Many results that show up in the sponsored ads at the top can be order gatherers without real commitment and investment in the community. Local for results that are tied to a business listing or profile with a local address.
