Question : Are florists more successful than gift baskets biz for sending gifts?
I was thinking of doing an online gift basket biz but don't want to waste my time if people think of florists first when wanting to send someone a gift. What do you think?

Answer #1
Florists are more successful than gift basket stores. I work in a florist and we
not only do arrangements but we do gift baskets. Our flower shop's arrangements
and gifts are also available for purchase online, so it easy to shop for too. We
provide service for almost the entire houston because we own 10 stores in
Houston. It depends on good management also. We don't sell anything with poor
quality ever. Our florist has many regular customers and we always get new
customers that become regular customers every week. So yes, I would believe that
people would be more likely to go to a florist because of the variety of gifts
(flower arrangements, gift & fruit baskets, chocolates) than a gift basket
business.

I had a gift basket business and it did not do well online at all. You can
check out giftbasketsharingcircle, you can read posts and ask questions.
Florist would be better, although there is a lot of competition, but if you
offer something unique and different, then it will do well. Kim
