Why are supermarket flowers considered just convenient and affordable

Just like any other industry, there is a difference between consumer grade and professional grade. Supermarket flowers are more of a consumer grade and florist flower are professional grade.

When you go to a grocery store, you’ll see buckets of flowers sitting out at room temperature. If you go to a florist, you’ll see that the majority of their fresh flowers are behind cooler doors. Cold chain.

Grocery store flowers are often a loss leader or they make their money on volume. Either way, quality is not the first consideration. Grocery store flower customers want a good price above everything else.

Here is a chart that shows the differences between the flowers:

Florist Flowers	Supermarket
Flowers from the florist tend to stay fresher longer because professional florists are trained to process the flowers (i.e treating freshly cut flowers with specialty flower food, keeping them at the proper temperatures, changing the water, etc…) once they received them at the store.	Supermarket flowers are often short-livedbecause the flowers aren’t given the proper treatment to keep them fresh and healthy. Plus, the flowers are usually placed near ripe fruit and vegetables, where harmful ethylene is produced, causing the flowers to wilt faster.
Florist flowers are usually more expensive than ones from the supermarket. But the quality of the product justifies the higher cost.	Supermarket flowers are quite affordable,costing only a fraction of a bouquet from a florist.
There is a greater selection and variety of flowers at a florist. They can also work with you to create professional-looking, quality, custom flower arrangements for special occasions, like weddings and funerals.	Flower selection is usually limited; the floral department of a supermarket is smaller than an average floral shop. So they may not be able to fulfill bigger orders (i.e funeral arrangements or weddings).
Florists are more knowledgeable and passionate about flowers than a supermarket staff member. They would be able to give youbetter service and offer professional advice on the best flowers to send, how to care for your flowers when you bring them home, etc.	Usually at the supermarket, there is little or no service in the floral department. The flowers are usually displayed in an area where you have to help yourself. There isn’t anyone there to answer questions or give advice. You are on your own when it comes to picking your own flowers.
Lastly, florists make flowers their business. Because they specialize in flowers, it is in their best interest to sell the best quality, most beautiful flowers in their store.	Since supermarkets sell a wide variety of goods, including food, produce, electronics, health care products, flowers are not a priority for them. The flowers that are sold at the supermarket may be affordable, but the quality may not be the best.

So as you can see, there are many advantages to buying your flowers from a florist than a supermarket.

Fresh Cut flowers are widely sold in supermarkets all over the world. These outlets offer a limited selection, usually in the form of mixed bouquets and roses by the dozen. Flowers purchased at these outlets are generally less expensive than the flowers purchased at a florist shop. Professional florists may offer a greater selection, higher flower quality, or more skillfully arranged flowers.
