Grand Florals Announces New Web Site Ordering Flowers In Staten Island

    NEW YORK, NY November 06, 2009 /24-7PressRelease/ -- Grand Florals, a local florist in Staten Island, is pleased to introduce its new Web site, GrandFlorals.com. The site features full-color photographs of the shop's most popular FTD bouquets, improved navigation to help visitors find flowers by color, price or occasion, and secure checkout.

"We're very excited about the new Web site," says Grand Florals owner Rich Grande. "The Web site enables visitors from around the world to purchase flowers directly from Grand Florals for local delivery in Staten Island."

Grande stresses that having a direct contact with a local Staten Island florist is important. "When consumers want to purchase flowers online, they often go to a major national flower site thinking that they're doing business with a local florist. In reality, they're doing business with a middleman who does nothing but add a service fee and pass the order on to a florist somewhere else." Grande says that this way of doing business leaves the customer without any way to contact the florist who is arranging and delivering the order. When problems occur, he says, the customer has nowhere to turn.

"Our family has owned and operated Grande Florals since 1971," says Grande. "We know how important it is to provide genuine service to the flower-ordering customer. The new Web site helps us deliver the exact same outstanding customer service our customers get when they visit our shop." Grande also says that the new Web site allows them to offer free local delivery on all online floral orders.

"With the new Web site, we've cut out the service and delivery fees that customers will pay when they go to a major online floral order-gathering site. Customers deal directly with us, and as a result, our costs are lower," says Grande. "We can offer flowers with delivery included for the price shown on the Web site as well as a 100%-satisfaction guarantee."

Grand Florals is a local Staten Island florist, located at 172 Hylan Blvd in Staten Island and is operated by the Grande family. The retail store is open Monday-Friday from 9:00 AM to 6:00 PM, Saturdays from 9:00 AM to 4:00 PM and Sundays from 10:00 AM to 2:00 PM. Our Web site is available around the clock to take your order. Same-day local delivery is available for orders placed by 2:00 PM daily, or by 11:00 AM on weekends.
