Mother's Day Flowers and Gifts Online - A Buyers Guide

1. Do they have a toll-free phone number (800 or 866 numbers are toll-free) listed on the homepage? A legitimate and well-run company will be available by phone, free of charge to you.

2. Do they have a Customer Service Link in their menu bar at the top or on the side of the homepage? A company that is there for their customers will make it easy for them to contact the company via email.

3. Does the website have a secure certificate? A company that cares about you will care that your personal information is secure. They should have a secure certificate from (McAfee, VeriSign, or another) at the top of the homepage and you should be able to click on it and make sure it's real.

4. Does the homepage look cheap? A company that takes their business seriously will have spent some money to have a professional looking homepage. It can be quirky, fun, and unique, but it shouldn't look like they threw the website together in one night.

5. Do they mention how long they've been in business? This might be more difficult to find, but it's a good indicator. An online retailer will usually mention how long they've been in business on their homepage if it's something they're proud of. The Internet isn't that old, so 5 years old or more on the Internet is quite good. 1 or 2 year old companies might be a bit young.

6. Do they have a wide selection? Another sign of maturity is a fairly wide selection of products. Even if it is a website with just flowers it should have a wide selection (unless you are buying direct from a grower who may only sell one or two items).

7. Can you shop by price? I have found over the years that businesses that allow customers the option of shopping by price are much more concerned with satisfying their customers. I want to shop at businesses that take satisfying their customers as a top priority.

8. Do they have testimonials from reputable organizations? Businesses are thrilled to get such testimonials and are usually more than happy to display them on their homepage.

9. Do they have well-defined categories for the shopper? A company that's makes it easy to find what you want is usually a well-run company

10. Can you save your gifts and come back later? A website that is comfortable with you taking your time to make a decision is a company that has confidence in its products and probably a good company to trust with your money and your mother's joy on Mother's Day.

I hope this helps you and your mother have a wonderful Mother's Day.
