When you visit a local florist shop or browse its website, one service that you might notice is a flower subscription program. While the exact details of this program can vary from shop to shop, it generally means that you'll pay a set price to have the shop deliver flowers to someone at pre-arranged times throughout the year. For example, you might buy a package that sends flowers to your spouse on his or her birthday, on Valentine's Day, and on your wedding anniversary. Many people opt for these subscription programs instead of individually buying flowers for the above occasions. Here are some benefits of using a flower subscription program.
You Won't Worry About Forgetting
While it might seem a little neglectful to remember your significant other's birthday or your wedding anniversary, the reality is that it's often easy to get busy with work or other commitments and have certain dates slip your mind. If you've forgotten an important occasion in the past — and felt really guilty upon realizing your oversight — a flower subscription program can be a smart choice for you. You can book the program once per year and otherwise won't have to worry about forgetting to buy flowers.
You'll Save Time
If you've ever tried to buy a bouquet of flowers at the last minute on Valentine's Day, you've probably found yourself in a long line of other people who have the same idea as you. If you're the type of person who looks for efficiencies in as many areas of your life as possible, a flower subscription program may be a good choice. Not only will this program save you from waiting in line to buy flowers, but it will also save the time that you'd invest in driving to a flower shop. If you live in a rural area and the nearest florist is a bit of a drive away, you'll appreciate the conveniences of this program.
You Could Save Money
While different flower shops have different pricing, you may find that buying a subscription program costs less than you'd spend to buy the same amount of flowers on individual occasions. For example, the shop may seek to reward people who choose this program by making it slightly more affordable. If you love the idea of giving flowers to someone special in your life but you want to keep your spending to within a certain amount, you may find that going the subscription route is the best option for you.
