AFFORDABLE FLOWERS AT A CLICK - as low as PHP99.00!

Flowers are never passé. Even a single-stemmed rose says a lot to the person who receives it. Given a choice between flowers or chocolates, many people still opt to receive flowers because chocolates can never convey the same thoughts that flowers do. However, in today’s world, people crave speed coupled with comfort, which is why when it comes to distance, they want to be able to let their loved ones know they care without the hassle of long trips. Lots of people desire to send gifts to their loved ones in other countries, but are hesitant to do so because of the unnecessary hassle. What better way to express their love than flowers?

In line with this, Virtual Blooms, an online flower shop for the young and old, was launched. Initially, the service will only be available to any area within Metro Manila but will eventually target a nationwide reach. The flowers are reasonably priced to cater to anyone and everyone. Now, not just people residing in the Philippines, but even our beloved Overseas Filipino Workers (OFWs) can make their love felt to their families in the Philippines by sending them flowers through Virtual Blooms.

As a promotion for its initial launch, Virtual Blooms is offering a hefty price discount for its first 100 customers. If a customer is part of the first 100, he can purchase any Virtual Blooms bouquet for only 199 pesos, or three pieces of roses (any color) for 99 pesos. This includes free delivery.

The website is fun to look at, with its vibrant colors of apple green, orange, and red. Images of Virtual Blooms products are beautifully displayed at the center of the main page for the buyer to see. The products are a variety of flower arrangements, from roses to tropical flowers, under different female names. There are different kinds of rose arrangements (round bouquet or cascade-style bouquet) – Sophia, Kimberly and Kristine. The roses can be ordered in different colors such as red, peach, pink, yellow, orange and white. Aside from roses, Virtual Blooms offers tropical flower bouquets (Jill) and assorted flower bouquets filled with stargazers, mums, and anthuriums.

According to Tin Loya, Business Development Manager for Virtual Blooms, this is a very strategic move to launch the online business. “The launching of Virtual Blooms is timely because today, people are starting to look for ways to lessen their trips to shops. Virtual Blooms is one of those ways because it allows customers to order flowers from the comforts of their own homes,” she explains.

Another noteworthy feature of the website is its payment system. Virtual Blooms is powered by PayEasy, Mozcom’s award-winning online payment system.
