/24-7PressRelease/ - LONDON, UK, February 13, 2008 - ArenaFlowers.com, the UK's leading Online Florists has many firsts to its credit. Apart from being the first florist in the UK to be accredited by Fair Flowers Fair Plants, the European initiative for production and sales of sustainable, ethical flowers, it is also the only florist to be accredited by Ethical Company Organisation, the UK's independently verified Corporate Social Responsibility standard. It was also the first florist to offer virtual flowers through its application Flowers & Fun on the popular social networking platform, Facebook.
ArenaFlowers.com is proud to have added yet another first to its growing list. On Thursday, 07th February 2008, the company unveiled its world first service for flower lovers - Video Messaging. The concept is simple. Customers choose to add a video or audio file during the order process and then upload the video after completing checkout. ArenaFlowers.com then delivers the video message to the recipient through a specially designed viewing area on its site. The video integration is powered by Vzaar.com through its API. This forms part of vzaar.com's strategy to open up its API to other online businesses looking to exploit the power of video to develop their business.
Flowers epitomise emotion and personalising flowers through a unique video/audio message is sure to win many recipients' hearts. With Valentine's and Mother's days just around the corner, many of us are looking for the right place to buy flowers. ArenaFlowers.com has always prided itself in offering unique customer focused experiences and believes that the Video messaging service will help customers express themselves better to their nearest and dearest.
