TF's Serendipity collection

[lori042499]

This is just an FYI for all you TF folks out there....I got a mixed case of these vases 12 yellow and 12 lavender because I remembered people liking the designs when they first came out but the glass vase available to me were 4 something, hard to get and just didn't fit the cost for the arrangements...now I did know that by carrying these that I would be getting orders for the from tf.com and just flowers and such, but you can reject those if you don't want to sell fill for them...anywho, my web customers love them, I just got these a month ago and have already sold over half of them....mostly via my website, some TF orders also...

They are all pretty much low end arrangements but they use a lot of those cheap roses many were talking about, spray roses, filler and poms...I am even finding myself using them for just small arrangements for the hospital and such...I love them...

They are plastic...They are 1.99+ shipping....I know the shipping sux, but they are a good seller...

When people find out a vase is plastic in my area they set it back down and ask for glass. Do you have this response from customers and how do you change their mind to purchase it anyway?

we get the same "type" of reaction, UNLESS, they SPECIFICALLY ask, to put ALL the value, into the flowers, and little into the "holding medium"

Much of this sells on the internet...the ones I do sell in the shop havn't had a problem with plastic vase, I think the orice point is the importance for them, more than the vase itself..

I have gone through a few cases since Teleflora came out with them. No complaints on plastic. I kept them off my web site before as I didn't have the container. Syndicated did not sell them as one color in cases. Customers like the look and price I believe.

Thanks for sharing this, guys! I've given the feedback to the product design folks, so hopefully they'll capture what you liked about them and focus more on those aspects in other products later.
