Re: Mail order nurseries
As an encouragement to all nurseries, be they large or small,I have found
online catalogs(assuming they are constructed for ease of use)to be an absolute
wonder and utilize them continuously.Its amazing how fast word gets around about
online sources too.
If you are a nursery and are considering a website,perhaps some of our comments
will help you in your evaluation..
I do not have the time nor inclination to request or order all the paper
catalogs available, let alone those that I have found online..
I also hope that this will enable smaller nurseries to gain favor,as they
frequently are superior to the large broker type mail-order sources...
No doubt, the trend of the future , however there is still a place for the
traditional paper cats.as well..The vast majority are not online,they could not
afford to lose these patrons,and dont forget its always an enjoyable pastime
read while one makes those seasonal buying decisions.
Many times I have requested a paper cat,.Only ,after previewing their
website..Really helps sort out those your interested in seeking out and those
you are not.
NOTE:I recently spoke with a seed source and they went online with the hopes of
eliminating the expense of a paper cat.,
they maintain an excellent site BUT no dice with the customers they STILL wanted
the old stand by paper..So they were (expensively)disappointed but thats the
current reality.
