      "Direct Local Florist Relationship: Consumers directly call or visit local flower shops, and florists manage orders, inventory, and marketing manually or through a basic website.",
      "Traditional Floral Wire Services: Consumers order through a large national service (e.g., FTD, Teleflora) which then dispatches the order to a local florist, taking a significant commission.",
      "Generic E-commerce Platforms: Local florists use platforms like Shopify or Squarespace to build their own online store, requiring more manual setup and marketing effort without a dedicated floral mark",
      "Rely on Walk-ins/Phone Orders: Florists operate solely through in-store sales and direct phone orders, severely limiting their reach and online visibility in the modern market."
