What Media99 does

Media99 is a privately held Arkansas LLC founded in 1998 and headquartered in Eureka Springs, Arkansas. The company builds and hosts custom eCommerce websites exclusively for independent retail florists across the United States. Its core offering, the Media99 Florist eCommerce Package, includes custom responsive website design, a florist-specific shopping cart, unlimited products and categories, hosting, and native point-of-sale integration with six major florist POS systems (FloristWare, Mcshan Abner Systems, Floral POS, FAS, FTD Mercury, and Teleflora RTI). Supporting modules include SiteWorks (a proprietary 24/7 browser-based CMS for product, category, discount, and delivery-zone management), Wiki99 (a tutorial knowledge base), Automatic Holiday Updates (annual calendar-driven holiday category toggles), a Florist Wedding Gallery lead-capture module, and a Zendesk-powered HelpDesk.

The platform embeds florist-specific operational logic — zip-code-based delivery charges, cut-off times, local delivery controls, FTD/Teleflora product feeds, and automatic seasonal merchandising — that generic website builders do not provide. Media99 monetizes through a hybrid pricing model: $49/month hosting and platform subscription, $1.50 per-order transaction fees ($0.75 for orders under $15), a one-time setup fee starting at $399, optional Intermediate SEO at $99/month, Advanced SEO/PPC at $299/month, and email marketing add-ons at $9+/month via a Constant Contact partnership. Go-to-market is direct-to-consumer: SMB florists reach Media99 through its website (media99.com), phone (870-931-3159), or email ([email protected]), with supplemental referrals from POS partners and word-of-mouth. The company has been bootstrapped for 25 years with no disclosed external funding, acquisitions, parent entities, or institutional investors, and operates with a stated 11-50 employees and 65+ years of combined internal floral eCommerce experience.

• Squarespace: Squarespace is a popular website builder with commerce functionality often chosen by small florists for design-forward storefronts, making it a credible substitute for Media99's custom florist sites.
• Shopify: Shopify is a general-purpose eCommerce platform used by many independent florists; while not florist-specific, it competes with Media99 for the same SMB website and online ordering budget.
• Teleflora (BloomNet): Teleflora operates the BloomNet wire service and offers member florists eCommerce and POS tooling (RTI), competing with Media99 for the same independent florist customers through a much larger brand and network.
• FTD (provide Commerce): FTD operates the FTD Mercury wire service POS and consumer marketplace, providing integrated eCommerce/website tools to member florists and competing broadly with Media99's offerings.

Direct peers

• FloristWare: FloristWare is a florist-specific POS vendor that Media99 integrates with; it also offers eCommerce modules, putting it in direct competition for florist back-office and website spend.
• BloomNation: BloomNation provides florist eCommerce websites and a consumer marketplace for independent florists, directly overlapping Media99's website design, hosting, and online ordering value proposition.
• Lovingly: Lovingly (formerly Floranext) is a direct competitor offering florist-specific websites, POS integration, and digital marketing to independent flower shops in the same SMB niche Media99 targets.
• Floranext: Floranext was the original direct competitor in florist eCommerce and POS; the brand now operates under Lovingly, but historically provided overlapping florist website and POS products to the same SMB segment.
