Benefits

How our florist answering service benefits flower shops

See how a florist answering service can make a difference in your floral business.

Capture every order and never miss a call

You’ve probably lost orders because your shop was closed or you were elbow-deep in petals when the phone rang. With Upfirst, every call is answered by a dedicated receptionist who knows your menu by heart. That means no more silent phones and no more missed revenue.

    Get professional support without payroll overhead

    Hiring a full-time receptionist can feel like buying an extra bouquet—expensive and maybe unnecessary on slow days. Upfirst gives you that polished shop presence at a fraction of the cost. You get all the perks of a dedicated receptionist without adding a salary to your books.

Let us handle the incoming orders, upsells, and appointment scheduling while you pour your energy into design. You’ll get peace of mind knowing each client hears a friendly, informed voice—just like you.
