The launch of this new app distinguishes California Blooms as the first of
35,000+ businesses on the Yahoo! Merchant Solutions platform to develop and
release an app for the iPhone. The app features include:
- Quick and easy ordering – most orders can be completed in 3 minutes or
less - The ability to save previous orders, as well as ship to and bill to
addresses - Order from anywhere at anytime over 3G or Wi-Fi
“Now there’s an app for Valentine’s Day heroics, as well as everyday special
occasions,” commented Mark Skorlich, CEO of California Blooms. “With our new
app, we are spreading the love – one iPhone user at a time. The CalBlooms App
provides customers with mobile access to the perfect gift for the most important
people and events in their life.”
The California Blooms app was created by Pervasent, a leading provider of iPhone
solutions, who also created the wildly popular online ordering app for Chipotle
Restaurants. “It was a pleasure working with Mark to create the CalBlooms iPhone
app. We were particularly excited to work with Yahoo! and CalBlooms to build the
first iPhone app that ties into Yahoo’s Merchant Solutions platform,” said
Stuart Williams, CEO of Pervasent.
