Do it direct with D2F
Jessie Copper, of The Poundbury Florist, is a big fan
We caught up with Simon and
Jill Stirling, the brains behind D2F, who explained why they think their network of fl orists is the one to join if you’re looking for an aff ordable relay service that promises freedom for fl orists. “The whole service costs fl orists
just £3.95 admin fee a month. The customer pays the service fee of £3.50 for national/international deliveries. So the entire service costs the fl orist just £3.95 a month!” The Stirlings are also big fans
and appreciates fabulous fresh fl owers designed by fl orists who are given the opportunity to make choices for themselves.” So says Jessie Copper, owner of
D
The Poundbury Florist in Dorset, who says her Direct2Florist profi le allows online customers to browse and buy her designs whilst she reaps the benefi ts of the aff ordable system. “We have been a Direct2Florist member for over seven years now and have always found it to be the most fl exible relay option which gives the most freedom and respect to its fl orists. We can create our own designs and set our own prices. This gives us the fl exibility to stock and use the best quality and most seasonal fl owers, which gives the best quality and value to the customers and the best profi t margins for us.” Direct2Florist off er a relay
service for a fee of just £3.95 per month, exclusive software designed for managing orders easily and a bespoke website design service.

It’s unique because it promotes your brand and your freedom. “The app and software allow
fl orists to promote themselves to their own customers. It allows
fl orists to enter local and relay orders all in one place and it can even generate invoices for account customers.” D2F have full UK coverage, but Simon adds that his company is also totally international. “We off er full worldwide cover
as there are D2F members in all major towns and cities in the world. The international fee is just £3.50, paid by the customer. We even have customer service agents in fi ve major international cities, covering all time zones with 24 hour service.” D2F boast over 30,000
customer reviews. Each of those are reviews of local fl orists, refl ecting back onto the local fl orist who deserves them. This in turn brings further business to… that’s right… the local fl orist! “We have incredible reviews
from customers rating fl orists for amazing service and beautiful fl owers. Customers love the simplicity of the ordering process – and fl orists can benefi t from this by linking their website to their page on D2F. You’re eff ectively gaining e-commerce for free on your own website.” Simon and Jill say they’re looking
forward to connecting more fl orists with their growing network, and to helping them use D2F Florist Manager for every aspect of their order taking process. “Like all our stuff , it’s famously
easy to use. Our service is ever popular with hundreds of UK fl orists, and their success is based on great service and great fl orist products, including our unique software and app.”
