SHAWNEE MISSION, KS, September 12, 2009 /24-7PressRelease/ -- Kansas City's LA Floral is pleased to announce the availability of its newly redesigned Web site. The redesigned site allows users to browse through a stunning collection of floral arrangements, and purchase flowers online easily.
Kansas City's LA Floral owner, Athena Thomas, says the new Web site puts a local twist on ordering flowers online. "The new Web site is gorgeous, but it also enables our loyal customers to purchase their flowers via the Internet from a florist they know and trust."
Thomas says that many people who purchase flowers online don't know they're simply entering an order that gets passed along to a national flower chain. "Dealing with a local florist is exceptionally important," says Thomas. "Local florists will ensure that the intended recipient receives a quality floral arrangement. So many shoppers have been burned by the online order-gatherers that they're reluctant to order flowers online."
The new Web site features full-color photographs of the arrangements available from Kansas City's LA Floral, along with navigational aids that will help direct shoppers to the arrangements they're most interested in viewing. The LA Floral Web site also offers secure transactions any time of the day or night.
Thomas and her family have worked in the floral business for more than 50 years. "Nothing replaces the experience of a genuine florist," says Thomas. "Some online flower sites try to get away with shipping pre-arranged flowers that are never handled by a professional floral designer. The recipient gets a low-quality arrangement that may not even look like the arrangement the sender bought. That makes the recipient unhappy and the sender unhappy, and there's no one to turn to for help." By contrast, Thomas says, "buying online from a professional local florist means that you'll always have someone to turn to for help and you'll have a much better online flower-buying experience."
Kansas City's L.A. Floral is located at 8869 Lenera Drive in Shawnee Mission, KS and is owned and operated by the Thomas family. Kansas City's LA Floral offers design consultation and has a horticulturist on staff. The store's hours are 9:00 AM to 5:00 PM Monday through Friday and 9:00 AM to 3:00 PM on Saturdays. The store is closed on Sundays, but the Web site accepts orders anytime.
