Wisconsin & Upper Michigan Florists Association

Heartland Independent Florists Association

From their website:

The Heartland Independent Florists Association is a group of real, local florists who are working together to inform the public about deceptive and misleading practices used by some internet and 1-800 companies and to make you aware of how to avoid the pitfalls associated with them.

We're the ones who send flowers to your friends in the hospital, help you plan your wedding, get you out of trouble when you forgot a birthday and help you convey your sympathy when someone you care about experiences a loss.

So why is this group of seeming competitors who would rather be designing flowers for you joining forces to spend our time and money on this issue? It's important to us as industry professionals and it's important to you as a consumer.

We've created this website to help everyone involved. We want you to know that your best value, quality and service come from your local florist. We also want to protect the industry we love and from which we earn our livelihood.

Flower Market Association NYC

The New York City Flower Market was the first central city market on the East Coast of the United States. It was founded in the mid-nineteenth century and moved to its current location on 28th Street in the 1890's. Many different types of businesses stand together on 28th Street and the surrounding streets. Multiple generations of families sell wholesale cut flowers, plants, dry and silk flowers and accessories. The Flower Market is comprised of approximately 45 businesses, services 2,000 customers (estimated), with 1,500 transactions per day (estimated) and has annual gross sales of over $100 million. Customers are welcomed to explore the market and meet all their floral decorating needs.

The Flower Market Association of NYC, Inc. (FMA) was formed in 1999 to speak for the needs of stores within the 28th Street Flower Market and the many companies we supply. FMA's goal is to increase business for its members and promote, foster and advance the goals and interests of the New York City flower business. The 1995 rezoning of its neighborhood has brought many pressures on the businesses. FMA's role is to give a united voice to address these matters.
Flower Market Association members include: cut flower wholesalers, potted plant wholesalers, pot and basket wholesalers, artificial plant wholesalers, floral supply wholesalers, retail florists, floral designers, event and party planners and delivery companies.

Chesapeake Floral Association

The following is taken from the association website:

The Chesapeake Floral Association was formed in June 2003 by a group of Traditional Retail Florists for the sole purpose of supporting the Local Retail Florist.
CFA Membership consists of Retail & Wholesale Florists, Growers, Manufacturers and Business Associates.

We all know there have been many changes taking place in the floral industry over the last several years that have affected the profitability of all traditional retail and wholesale florists.

Order gatherers have been taking away the local retail florists' most profitable order (the outgoing wire order) and returning to a selected few florists a heavily discounted order that is impossible to make any money if filled to 100% value.

With the help of the CFA, the local retail members can fight back and protect their local customer through; marketing, advertising, education and many other benefits derived through membership.
