Manila, Philippines (PRWEB) January 22,
2008 -- The Philippine flower industry will never be the
same again. Island Rose has long been a benchmark for Philippine
flower businesses. In 1980, it was the first to commercially
produce flowers under greenhouses earning pioneer status
as the very first company to be classified under the then
new cut flower industry. Prior to this, all cut flower production
was classified under the rather broad agriculture sector.
It has since won many entrepreneurship and business awards
in the Philippines. Today, the company continues to introduce
revolutionary ideas. In the year 2000, Island Rose launched
the first nationwide Internet based Philippine flower delivery
service. Through www.islandrose.net, three notable achievements
where accomplished.
First, it changed the way Filipinos perceived flower delivery.
Before the advent of islandrose.net, a visit to a Philippine
flower shop involved a lot of questions and answers. Where
is your shop? What arrangements are available? How much
will it cost? Can you deliver flowers in this area? How
much does it cost? Where do the flowers come from? The islandrose.net
website changed all of this. The company is accessible anywhere
in the world through a regular Internet connection. The
products and prices are organized in a way that is convenient
for the customer. And to further simplify matters, it offers
free nationwide flower delivery. By eliminating the clutter
that came with Philippine flower delivery, Island Rose made
the service accessible to thousands of customers.
Second, it gave Filipinos the chance to order fresh flowers
straight from the farm. No more middlemen here. Island Rose
customers order their flowers straight from the source.
Island Rose has long been a leading wholesaler of flowers
in the Philippines through its network of flowers shops.
But now, it is possible to order first class flowers freshly
harvested from their farm. Flowers are delivered fresh,
fast, and fair priced. According to Arnold Andaya, vice
president for operations "Our straight from the farm
concept is the most reliable way to send fresh flowers in
the Philippines"
Third, it proved that the Internet is a viable medium for
e-commerce business in the Philippines. In the year 2000,
there where hardly any Philippine e-commerce sites. Retailing
over the Internet was almost non-existent. Today, a search
through the Internet shows dozens of Philippine e-commerce
retailers. While in other countries, books, software, clothes
and travel lead the on-line retailing scene, in the Philippines,
flowers dominate the marketplace. This is partly due to
Island Rose and its long reaching network of affiliates
and distribution partners. It is estimated that 80% of on-line
Philippine flower delivery services are connected to the
Island Rose network in some way. As the very first Internet
retailer to offer nationwide delivery, it paved the way
for many Philippine e-commerce business retailers as well.
If you look closely, influences of islandrose.net can be
found on dozens of Philippine e-commerce businesses in different
industries.
With hundreds of thousands of deliveries under its belt,
Island Rose is considered the leading Philippine flower
delivery service and a benchmark in e-commerce retailing.
With its outstanding products, excellent customer service,
and reliable ordering system, there is simply no other place
to go for fresh flowers. When you rely on a company to send
gifts to your loved ones, trust is of utmost importance.
In this regard, Island Rose stands above the rest.
Founded in 1983, Island Rose is a multi-awarded company
that specializes in growing French and Dutch variety flowers
in tropical conditions. In the year 2000, Island Rose revolutionized
the Philippine flower and e-commerce industry by offering
its fresh flowers over the Internet for nationwide delivery.
Through islandrose.net, clients can order flowers straight
from the farm allowing them to enjoy the freshest flowers
at the fairest prices. For more details visit www.islandrose.net.
