Our Own Flower Pictures Vs. Cookie Cutter Images"

| 2 Comments

    In my own humble opinion, what makes Belvedere Flowers website stand out from the rest of the "cookie cutter" websites on the worldwide web is that we show our own pictures, instead of just hiding behind "cookie cutter" wire service images such as Teleflora &  FTD.

   We are not afraid to show what we are capable of doing. Our images may not be as professional looking as the wire service images but we believe internet flower buyers want to see the real deal. They are tired of seeing the same photos on thousands of websites, & are looking for something unique & honest!

Here is an example of our own image vs wire service image-

  Anybody can have a "cookie cutter" website with a catalog of pre-loaded photos professionally made by the wire services such as Teleflora, who spend thousands & thousands of dollars on photography to create the "perfect photo". However, you must also know that they are edited with software such as Photoshop to help make them look better. They are also made one-sided to trick the online flower shopper to think there is more flowers in the arrangement.

Here is an example of a Teleflora image below that has been doctored up with software, and its description claims that the arrangement is all-sided , even though the picture shows all flowers in the front-

  When these flower bouquets are actually made by a floral designer, they need to be seen from all sides, which means the front side that you view in photo online, is not as full looking as the finished actual product made by the florist.

  Belvedere Flowers does not use any software to enhance our flower images online. We are the real deal!

  How do you know what kind of work a florist is capable of doing if they don't show their own photos? You don't, until you see the product in person. There are a lot of deceptive florists websites on the internet who may show you the prettiest pictures in the world , yet, they cannot create the bouquets that they are showing online.

 With all this being said, we still include some wire service images on our website along with our own photos because we still think they are done well, with very creative names & descriptions that can sometimes help sell an image. We just make sure that our photos far outweigh the "cookie cutters" that can be found on thousands of other florists websites across the country.

  We continue to get better with photography, and will continue to build our website with our own beautiful designs!

  We also just started creating YouTube videos of our store & floral creations, and it also gives online flower buyers a personal inside at our flower shop!

 Stay tuned for a special blog on YouTube videos by Belvedere Flowers!

I never realized this before.

They are all one sided on other websites.

It is good that you are doing the right thing in showing the actual product rather than trying to make a sale by tricking someone.

That makes me want to be a repeat customer.

So beautiful! Great work
