I only know one flower shop in Kew where tall orchids are sold around £100. I would like to have more options... Thank you all.
Where I can buy in London or online tall orchids?
You can buy tall orchids from http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/search?ie=UTF...
Reply:i would try ebay, or maybe one of these sites:
www.crocus.co.uk
www.bakker.co.uk
but i think ebay is a good place. i have bought a few off there, and if theres none on there now, just keep checking someone is bound to put one on there!
Reply:Tesco do sa good selection - at a tenth of the price.

What is the best way to advertise my online store on the web?
Build inbound links to your website.
Most of the directories online charge a one time fee to review your site and add it to their index. Here are three of my favorites:
http://www.avivadirectory.com/cgi-bin/af...
http://www.kahmer.com
http://www.joeant.com
The more inbound links to your site, the better you will rank
with Yahoo / Google / MSN.
Also work on your meta tags. Here is an
article on how they work: http://www.richkahmer.com/meta-tags.html
Reply:I use these to get lots of visitors to my web sites
http://xbratx99.livejournal.com/11988.ht...
Good Luck!
Reply:This of course depends on your budget. Yahoo will list you local business for free.
The best way to get links back to you, and yes this does take some time, is to post to blogs and make yourself known as a knowledgeable person. Maybe you can find blogs about wedding ideas, flower arranging etc... be sure and use your knowledge to advise, do not just post "this is a nice blog please visit my site" because most bloggers can delete you and will if you don't contribute something. Not to mention will send you the worst of "vibes".
You can "pay for clicks" , works for some not others.. try Google first they don't hold your money. Yahoo for instance takes money out of your bank account without notice, and they always have some of your money they haven't spent, like the IRS does. Google also has a new free checkout program.
Hiring a pro can be expensive, but if you can afford it I'd check with the Better Business Burea before I hired anyone to see if they have complaints filed, better yet get a member. I can't advise whether or not you need one because I have not seen your site.
The most important and most forgotten thing about having a web site is to make them informative and interesting, people will buy from you if they see you have knowledge and a passion for what you do. I have had my web site almost 10 years and it sticks in top rankings because people visit it to learn and pass the link on.

Reply:Hi, what you need is relevant links. It may be either one way free links or reciprocal links. But the links must be relevant. Try to get as many oneway relevant links as possible.
Link building is an art, it cannot be done over night. It takes time, over a period of time only you can accumulate relevant links for the site. If you can continusly acquiring links over a period of time you can accumulate a good no. of links for yr site.
You can contact me if you need any assistance at sreeseshan@yahoo.com.

One of our companies specialities is search engine optimisation. The person who said build inbound links is right on the money - that is a major factor. However, having said that, it can take a while for the benefit of inbound links to be passed on- particularly by Google. They also like things to be a bit natural. If go crazy contacting people and get a 100 links in one week, you won't get full benefit as they like the process to look natural.
There are other things you can do as well. In my business, we offer a twelve month managed search engine marketing and optimisation campaign, whereby we basically act as your agent for twelve months and in conjunction with you market your site on the web. This includes organic search engine optimisation, useabilty and effectiveness assessment of your site, copywriting, and even graphics and whether your site is well designed. What is included will very from client to client. Do you already have a site? If so, I can prepare a free proposal based on your site, giving you some general ideas of what we can do and a quote. If you don't have a site yet, we can give you a quote on building it with effective marketing in mind as well as a 12 month marketing programme.
Please feel free to email me on cpschmidt29@yahoo.com.au for further info.

How should I deal with dishonest online customers ?
t's only been months since I put up my cut flower delivery business. I made some modest profits on it. But lately, a number of customers claimed they didn't receive their ordered goods .But my records show the proper receipts they signed for the delivery. It's dishonesty, plain and simple.They contested the delivery from their credit card company and subsequently cancel all payments towards my account.
How should I deal with this form of dishonest act?

Are you responding to the disputes and are they through the credit card processor, directly? if you're dealing with a third party, that makes things tough.
if you're dealing with the credit card processor directly, find out what they require to secure a transaction from being reversed and make sure you have it for every sale. I'm also not above lying when dealing with liars. I handled disputes for a small business, and what the bank requested as proof, the bank GOT- whether or not we actually had it.
Most people who are lying to start out with won't fight the dispute further if they lose. After all, they know they are in the wrong.
Reply:sue them. if they signed for them. then you would win.
Reply:I think...for Every action there should be equal and opposite reaction....U better convey them in this way

I saw a really cool ladies bicycle and the paint design was reminisent of the 60s or 70s with flowers?
The bike looked like a road or touring bike with fun designs on it. Does anyone know who makes this bike and if it can be ordered online??

You probably saw an Electra Daisy. Go to www.electrabikes.com. Nice bike!

Bulk Calla lily purchases online?
I am planning my September 1st wedding and have chosen calla lillies as my main flower. I know that they are expensive in my area and have done some research online. I have found a website that has decent pricing on them but I am leery of placing all my flower faith in an online company. I was wondering if anyone else has ever tried these online flower companies and how they have worked out. The compnay I am currently most interested in is Flowerbud.com. I can get a bulk box of 120 mini callas for $249. Any info would be helpful and much appreciated
Bulk Calla lily purchases online?
calla lilies are going to be my flower!! i love them! i am also thinking of ordering online because they are pricey.
Reply:The flower web sites may seem like a really great in-expensive way to purchase your flowers (esspecially more expensive flowers such as calla lilies) but I would never order them online. !st off you have no clue what condition they are kept in or where they came from so they could show up a completly different color, or size. 2nd there is a very good possibility they will show up damaged from freight. That is a great deal for callas, but are you willing to compromise quality for price? If so then by all means order them, but before you do get on the internet or flip through a phone book and check out wholesale florists in your area. They might be a little bit more pricey but it will be worth it. Also if you live in a warmer climate try growing them yourself. Good luck to you!!
Reply:Go to http://www.onlinewholesaleflowers.com/ You can buy the whole flowers (not just the buds) in bulk. Additionally, you can click on the tab that says 'weddings in a box' and they can even ship a calla lilly package to you so you can make bridesmaid bouquets and boutonneires. Good Luck!!
Reply:I have done online flower sites for presents and my husband got my Valentine's flowers that way. They are probably fine.
Reply:You should also try warehouse/discount stores and websites like costco.com and sams.com. They both sell bulk flowers. If you visited in store, I am sure that they could also sell you bulk flowers in person, which you could then inspect before walking out of the store. I have also heard people have excellent prices and luck with the floral departments of local grocery stores. I personally opted not to go with the on-line bulk flowers only because I am not crafty or creative to create my own bouquets, centerpieces, etc. I shopped around with smaller local florists and was able to find some really good prices. Good luck!

Whats the first quote in the book flowers for algernon?
"Any one who has common sense will remember that the bewilderments of the eyes are of two kinds, and arise from two causes, either from coming out of the light or from going into the light, which is true of the mind's eye, quite as much as the bodily eye; and he who remembers this when he sees any one whose vision is perplexed and weak, will not be too ready to laugh; he will first ask whether that soul of man has come out of the brighter life, and is unable to see because unaccustomed to the dark, or having turned from darkness to the day is dazzled by the excess of light. And he will count the one happy in his condition and state of being, and he will pity the other; or, if he have a mind to laugh at the soul which comes from below into the light, there will be more reason in this than in the laugh which greets him who returns form above out of the light into the den"
-Plate, The Republic
I hope this is what you mean, it's the long quote at the beginning of the book.
