NOTE:  Nearly 900 independent, randomly-selected florist shops throughout the U.S. responded to the P&P florist survey, 2011 Edition, conducted in the Spring/Summer of 2011, and over 1,000 randomly-selected florist shops responded in both 2003 and in 2005.   Overall findings are accurate to a +/- 3% margin of error.   The florist sample is large, allowing for meaningful segmentation analyses.   Thus, the research not only tracks overall florist trends,  but trends of specific florist groups (i.e. ten U.S. regional groups, five florist-size (annual sales) groups, owner-age groups, and florist-market urbanization level).

No focus group bias! . . . No focus group chatter! . . . This is Real Market Research!
