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.

Thrifty Florist utilizes the services of  Flyline Search Marketing to manage their online marketing and sales platform. The Flyline team completed a make over of the the Thrifty Florist website and made enhancements to floral product displays and ease of navigation.  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”.

Ecuadorian Roses – These flowers are favorites worldwide. They are farm grown and meticulously handpicked. Often people travel to the country of Ecuador to see these magnificent roses. This country is the third largest supplier of flowers in the world and most of those are roses. In addition to the beautiful roses produced in Ecuador, the financial benefits these bring to the country offer valuable employment opportunities to the citizens. Some of the things that set these gorgeous flowers apart from others are:

  • Size – The Ecuadorian Rose is larger than other varieties. Not only are the blooms bigger but the rose stems are longer.  The growing conditions in South America are optimum with perfect sunlight conditions allowing these roses to flourish.
  • Longer Lifespan – Fresh cut Ecuadorian Roses can last for two weeks if properly cared for. Most other varieties look good for about one week.
  • Superior Growing Conditions – These roses have the unfair advantage of having the perfect mix of cooler moist air in an altitude of 3000 ft. The altitude is key as it means they are closer to the Sun. This results in the stems growing much straighter and longer that roses grown in article light.
  • Vivid Color – Due to the warm days and cool nights in this region, the petals of the Ecuadorian Rose are extremely beautiful. Other roses grown in parts of the world where artificial lighting and pesticides are used, just do not compare.

Full Bloom Hydrangea – Hydrangeas’ have star-shaped flowers and can be found in many different colors.  Because the flowers are in such a large collection of blooms, they are symbolic of a united family, friendship, gratitude and overall abundance of love. They are a hearty flower so are able to maintain their beauty longer than other varieties of fresh cut flowers.

Exotic Orchids – “The orchids grow in the woods and they let out their fragrance even if there is no one around to appreciate it. Likewise, men of noble character will not let poverty deter their will to be guided by high principles and morals.” –Confucius. Orchids usually are associated with the symbolism of fertility.  However, different colors have varying meanings

  • White orchids symbolize innocence and purity, as well as elegance and reverence.
  • Pink orchids symbolize femininity, grace, and joy.
  • Yellow orchids symbolize friendship and new beginnings.
  • Purple orchids symbolize royalty and admiration, and are traditionally given as a sign of respect.
  • Orange orchids symbolize pride, enthusiasm, and boldness.
