How much more money do I make by becoming a Gold Medallion Florist member vs.
‘wire services’? |
 |
 |
|
What about monthly fees and dues? |
|
There are no monthly fees or dues. The membership fee is
$499 and this covers
you for 12 full months, which includes 2 directories (one is sent immediately
after you become a member and one when your listing is printed in the next
edition). With ‘wire services’, there are various costly fees and the
monthly dues are never ending. |
|
What percentage of the order do I get? |
|
100% (we are not a ‘wire service’). We highly recommend that you network
with other Gold Medallion Members, thus, keeping 100% of the profit. See http://www.800send.com/lifetime_renewal.asp
|
|
How many hits/visitors does your web site receive? |
|
We average over 500,000 hits per month on the web with the majority of these
hits looking for a shop by typing in a city and state or searching
internationally. |
|
How do I make changes to my
shop's web pages? |
|
Log into the Members' Area https://www.800send.com/members/
using your username and password. Choose the “Add Or Change the ‘About Us’
Information In Your Listing” and type in your changes. You may also customize
the appearance of your web page by choosing from our pre-defined templates or
you can custom create your web page from scratch. |
|
How long does it take after any changes to be reflected on my web
page? |
|
Changes made to your web page will be reflected immediately. Make sure you
save your changes and LOG OUT of the Members' area after you are done editing
your web page. |
|
How do I pay a member florist I send an order to? |
|
Because we’re not a ‘wire service,’ it is up to each shop how they wish
to process the payment. However, most of our members, when calling out an order
to another shop, either use our “Gold Medallion” credit card, their own shop
or personal credit card, or the customer’s credit card. |
|
Can I keep a percentage of the order that I send to another member florist? |
|
Yes! You and the other florist determine this. Most of our members agree to
an 80/20 split for florist-to-florist orders. |
|
How do I track how much business this advertising has generated for my store? |
|
Since you collect all your orders directly from the customer or other florist
members, simply ask them where they got your shop’s information from. When you
send an order to another florist, be sure to tell them that you are a Gold
Medallion Florist |
|
What can I use the Email Campaign Manager for? |
|
You can use the
Email Campaign Manager to send out one email to multiple
customers. The email campaign manager is only available to Gold Medallion
Members and is included in your membership package. If you conduct monthly or
holiday specials, this is a very cost effective way to advertise to customers
without paying for postage. |
|
How much does it cost to send an E-bouquet? |
|
The
E-bouquet service, like all of our other services, is included in your
membership package. There is no additional charge. Send an E-bouquet to someone
today and put a smile on their face. http://www.800send.com/e-bouquet/

|
How do I apply for the new Gold Medallion Florist credit card? |
|
You have to be a U.S. based member to apply for the Gold Medallion Florist
credit card. To find out more information, contact info@800send.com

|
How often do you print a new directory? Who gets a directory? |
|
Directories are printed every Fall and Spring. All of our current members get
a directory automatically mailed to them. |
|
How do I process an international flower order? |
|

http://www.800send.com/findlorist/

the area to be delivered to. If the country you want is not listed, contact
