Thrifty Florist

Sixteen Floral Design Centers To Serve You

Thrifty Florist is a family owned and operated floral design firm. Since starting business in 1989, Thrifty Florist has blossomed under the direction of CEO and Owner, Chris Rea, to include 16 locations throughout metro Detroit and surrounding areas. It is Michigan’s largest retail florist and one of the nations leading retailers of flowers and related floral gifts.

We offer beautiful, farm fresh flowers, plants and occasion themed gifts. Our floral design team is one of the best in the state of Michigan. We offer free floral consultations for customers seeking to have our team handle floral design and decorating for their home or office.

The first store was started on the Westside of Detroit at the corner of Grand River and Telegraph Road. We started by bringing in flowers by the truckload and selling them at unbeatable prices. We eliminated the middleman and passed the savings on to our customers.

When we bypassed the middleman, we found that we were selling fresher flowers than other florists in town; and much to our surprise, our flowers were even fresher than the local wholesalers in town. Customers, to this day, come in and comment about the freshness.

Our stores are customer-focused and customer-friendly. We offer quality products at affordable prices situated in convenient locations at major intersections across the Metro area. Accessibility and convenience are important to Thrifty customers, that is why our stores are open before rush hour until bedtime; even on most major holidays, including Christmas.

Recently, Thrifty Florist management hired Flyline Search Marketing to manage their online marketing and sales platform. In addition, the Flyline team just completed a make over of the the Thrifty Florist website.  Enhancements to floral product displays and ease of navigation were made.  Flyline has worked with florists throughout  the United States and produced tremendous sales growth for these florists.

Another great thing about Flyline is they bring a comprehensive approach to the table. They will help to develop lead streams while also reducing dependence on wire orders. They will manage social media, build brand recognition and enhance index information with the search engines. One of the greatest things customers have expressed about Flyline Search Marketing is their humble, dedicated and customer first approach. As the CEO Mark Lein likes to say, “we always put the customer first”.

Small Business Saturday

Small Business Saturday occurs between November 24th and November 30th. This day falls in as one of the busiest shopping periods of the year. First observed in the United States on November 27, 2010, Small Business Saturday is within the same theme as Black Friday and Cyber Monday. These are days when shopping at retailers and e-commerce stores is at its height of the season. Small Business Saturday encourages shoppers to visit local businesses to make purchases. Obviously a great financial focus for communities and the entrepreneurs that live and work there.

American Express is a major supporter of Small Business Saturday. They actually promoted the holiday on 2010 on radio, television and Facebook. Thrifty Florist is a one of your local and longtime community neighbors. We take extreme pleasure in supporting our community and would be honored to have you visit us. Our products are top notch and our talented floral designers are among the best in the industry.  Not only are our flowers beautiful to the sight but we also have delectable treats that are wonderful to the taste!

Cyber Monday sometimes referred to as “Blue Monday” was created as a special day to encourage consumers to do online shopping. This is a perfect theme for 2020 when many people would much prefer to stay in their home and shop from their computer where they are away from crowds.

This day always follows Thanksgiving and as you might guess is the Monday following.  The term Cyber Monday originated in 2005 by Ellen Davis a member of the National Retail Federation. It was advertised in a publication as the up and coming biggest online shopping dat of the year. During that year 77% of online retailers reported increased sales. By 2017 sales had grown to $6.59 billion.

Thrifty Florist is ready with holiday specials on our floral products. Please shop conveniently and safely online at our state of the art website or visit one of our store locations. Our talented floral designers will be delighted to assist you.
