Vuzien Florist Directory Interview

Name of your website?

Vuzien Florist Directory

Your name?

Emily and Jocelyn

Your Location (city, etc)

Rotorua

When did you start your website and why?

Vuzien Florist Directory was Launched in New Zealand March 2007. Designed by two Quallified Rotorua Florists Jocelyn Wasley and Emily Stevens to bring back some integrity to the Floral Industry. With the many order gatherers throughout the world skimming money off the top of floral orders, then sending them onto the real local florists, quite often through relay services who take their cut too, both the consumers and florists are left out of pocket sometimes to the tune of up to 40% loss of order value. Vuzien was built to connect the consumer directly to the real florist in the area they need to send flowers to so that the florist would receive 100% of the order straight away. The best part of Vuzien is that the florist is then required to send to the consumer through the purpose built Vuzien Software, a link to view the flowers that were sent to the purchaser's loved one. This is a free service to the consumer, giving them the proof of purchase and delivery they deserve.

With Vuzien the consumer can find a real florist in the area they need to send flowers, dealing with a real florist and making the whole process a lot more personal. The consumer will receive a free photo of the flowers that were sent on their behalf. This is absolutely free to the consumer.

What has been the most difficult part of creating and running your website?

Intergrating ways to truly benefit both the Consumer and the Florist.

What has been the best part of operating your website?

The incredible feedback received from sattisfied customers.

What are your views on ecommerce and the future of the internet?

There are no limits!

What would you like to see change with respect to the internet?

Getting rid of the scams/affilliate rip offs and other rubbish. We can all live in hope!
