Bloomex.ca – Canada’s Largest Florist now Canada’s Largest Gift Basket Provider

PRLog (Press Release) - Oct. 31, 2012 - Bloomex, Canada’s largest florist by volume is now Canada’s largest Gift Basket provider.  Bloomex began selling Gift Baskets as a complement to their successful floral business in 2008.  Since that time Gift Basket sales have been steadily climbing.  While the bulk of Gift Basket sales take place in December as Christmas gifts the rest of the year offers steady sales, often being purchased as House Warming, Birthday gifts and Sympathy condolences.

Bloomex Gift Baskets (http://bloomex.ca/index.php?page=shop.browse&category... come in many styles, all feature gourmet items like fine chocolates, exotic crackers, tasty nuts, premium crackers, savory seafood like escargot and smoked oysters, exotic coffees and teas, a wide range of sweets and candies,  crispy chips and pretzels, and premium gourmet cheeses from both Canada and abroad.  For the more health conscience Bloomex also carries a full line of Fruit Baskets (http://bloomex.ca/index.php?page=shop.browse&category...), featuring D’Anjou Pears, Fuji and Granny Smith apples, juicy navel oranges, Pineapples, Plums, Peaches, Kiwi, Grapes, Melons, Cherries and Mango that are a popular year round item.

A large part of Bloomex’s Gift Basket sales, especially at Christmas, are to corporations and are used as Corporate Gifts (http://bloomex.ca/index.php?page=shop.browse&category...) for both clients and employees alike.  Bloomex offers a free corporate discount of 12% as an added incentive. Bloomex has recently added the ability to include corporate branded items to their gift baskets to give them a more personal touch - it is sure to be a popular option this year.

Bloomex’s unique production and self fulfillment chain allows them to produce Gift Baskets at a much lower price then the competition – hence their meteoric growth to Canada’s top gift basket provider.  Those savings are passed directly through to the consumer in the form of low prices.  With production and fulfillment facilities located in Vancouver, Calgary, Edmonton, Winnipeg, Toronto, Ottawa, Montreal and Halifax they provide same day delivery to approximately 70% of the Canadian population.

Bloomex is privately held, and wholly owned and operated in Canada by Canadians.  Bloomex has been in the floral business in 2006 and is Canada’s largest florist, online or otherwise.  Bloomex offers a full range of floral products, including, but not limited to, Birthday Flowers, Anniversary Flowers, Sympathy Flowers, and Get Well Flowers – they have recently added Fresh Homemade Cookies, Gourmet Chocolate and Live Lobster to their gift product line.  Bloomex offers both online direct or toll-free, operator assisted purchases. Bloomex is currently in the process of developing and launching a mobile dedicated site to cater to the fast growing PDA and handheld market. They also sell Wedding and Bulk flowers through their, fully owned and operated, dedicated online storefront affiliate – BunchesDirect.ca.
