Fitz and Floyd's Snowy Sleigh Ride

This Holiday Season I am proud to announce that we here at Beneva are doing something that has never been done in the floral industry before. We have partnered up with the world famous Fitz and Floyd to offer a collectible sleigh that is available only from a local florist like Beneva Flowers. You can not get this form FitzandFloyd.com, Teleflora, or any other retailer in the United States.

Fitz and Floyd’s Snowy Sleigh Ride will be supported by a number of national marketing strategies and will be available for you to send the gift around the entire United States via http://www.localflowershop.com/. The sleigh will be shown on billboards in metropolitan area across the US, showcased in network commercials, featured in our National Brochure, and supported by your favorite local florist.

This is an exciting time for our industry as for the first time, we can offer you the consumer a unique and wonderful keepsake collectible that can be kept in your family for years to come. So please enjoy the video below to learn a little more about Fitz and Floyd’s Snow Sleigh Ride.

Voted #1 Florist in Sarasota thanks to you!

The Sarasota Herald Tribune has awarded Beneva Flowers once again as the #1 Florist by the Reader's Choice Awards. Over 25,000 readers voted in the Reader's Choice Awards, giving Beneva Flowers the #1 Florist in the "Best of the Best Florist in Sarasota, FL" category for the 9th consecutive year.

I just want to take this opportunity to thank everyone for all their support. At Beneva Flowers, it is our goal to "Exceed your Expectations" with every purchase or request. Receiving an award like this, for nine consecutive years, shows that the hard work and dedication of not only myself but of the entire staff is worth every hour we put in.

so I just want to say thank you to everyone in Sarasota for your votes and appreciation. I guarantee we'll continue to work just as hard to continue to "Exceed your Expectations!"

Back to School Already!?!?

Being from the north, as are about 80% of Florida residents, I'm always surprised at how early the kids go back to school down here. Sarasota County goes back August 20th, while our family up north gets to wait until after Labor day before they go back. While I'm sure most of you are worried about getting the kids back to school week is the perfect time to let the teacher in your life, know how much you appreciate all their efforts in preparing for the school year. Send one of our delightful arrangements, blooming plant or a gourmet basket to help them ease into the new school year. After all their job is one of the most important in the world.
