ProFlowers Launches Online Flower Storefront On eBay

ProFlowers®, one of the nation’s largest online fresh flower retailers, is launching a ProFlowers branded store on eBay.com, the world’s largest online marketplace. eBay customers now have the opportunity to order fresh flowers at Stores.ebay.com/ProFlowers.

The new ProFlowers eBay storefront features a broad assortment of fresh flowers, plants and product bundles including vases and chocolates. Customers can choose the date of delivery, and ProFlowers will ship the flowers so they arrive fresh on the selected date. Buyers can also include a personalized card message with the flowers, for free. The store also prominently features a “Deal of the Week” specially priced bouquet and vase.

“ProFlowers provides the freshest flowers, the capability to create a personal gifting experience, and the best customer service in the industry. We are excited to expand the ProFlowers ‘wow’ gifting experience to eBay customers,” said ProFlowers General Manager Bill Patterson.

“eBay’s success in attracting respected brands and retailers shows the strength of our platform to drive commerce, attract new customers and create engaging new shopping experiences,” said Michael Jones, eBay’s Vice President, Merchant Development. “We’re pleased to partner with ProFlowers, a respected leader with great selection, superior customer service and a generous seven-day freshness guarantee policy. And with Mother's Day just a week away, I can't think of a better time to bring special joy to moms everywhere courtesy of the ProFlowers store on eBay.”

ProFlowers works directly with professional growers, rather than intermediaries, retailers or third parties, to deliver the freshest flowers possible. This ensures a longer bloom time for the flowers. ProFlowers guarantees seven days of fresh flowers to all its customers, including eBay buyers. J.D. Power and Associates also recently ranked the online floral provider “Highest Customer Satisfaction with Online Flower Retailers.”
