When you need to find a florist, or you are looking for  local florists or flower shops in Cincinnati, Ohio always make sure the florist, floral shop or flower shop is actually local to Cincinnati. Don't be fooled by the many Internet floral web sites that look like local florists. They are not! all they do is skim a large percentage of the money you pay (up to 50%) before passing the highly discounted floral order to a local florist. Don't be fooled by florist directories or yellow page florists listings because most charge fees to be listed, and they will list phony florists and flower shops that want your order so they can take a large percentage of what you spend before passing the order to local florists, flower shops, floral shops. Don't order from large floral order gathering companies such as FTD, 1-800-flowers and Teleflora as they also take a large cut before passing a highly discounted florist order to locally located florists, floral shops and flower shops.
