Eltingville Florist

What Eltingville Florist does

Eltingville Florist Inc. is a privately held, single-location retail florist operating from 3938 Richmond Avenue in Staten Island, New York. The company sells fresh cut flower arrangements, potted plants, preserved "Forever Rose" products, gift baskets, sympathy and funeral tributes, wedding florals, and event rental items (such as candelabras), serving primarily individual consumers in Staten Island (ZIP codes 10301-10312) for personal occasions including anniversaries, birthdays, sympathy, romance, and get-well gestures, with secondary segments in weddings, corporate gifting, and funeral services. Its underlying technology is a standard e-commerce storefront (hosted on the eflorist.com platform shared with the Teleflora network), supporting online ordering, ZIP-code-based delivery pricing, and pickup options, alongside traditional phone and walk-in retail.

The business operates a direct-to-consumer go-to-market model with three acquisition channels: the eltingvilleflorist.net e-commerce site, a phone order line at (718) 966-1666, and in-store walk-in traffic. Pricing is unit-based across Standard, Deluxe, and Premium tiers ranging from approximately $40 entry-level arrangements up to $650+ luxury bouquets and $1,500-$2,500 specialty sympathy pieces, with add-on upsells including stuffed animals, balloons, greeting cards, and fresh petals. Local same-day delivery is available throughout Staten Island, and the company holds a core channel partnership with Teleflora, which extends its effective delivery reach nationwide and supplies a significant portion of its branded product catalog (Teleflora's Opulent Orchids, Be Happy Bouquet, etc.).

Revenue mechanics are split across four identifiable streams: fresh cut flowers and arrangements (the largest), add-on gift products, wedding and event professional services (including consultations via a dedicated moderneventsnyc.com platform), and specialized sympathy/funeral arrangements including custom logo tributes (FDNY, sports teams). The company is independently owned with no disclosed institutional investors, no subsidiaries, and no parent entity, and operates with a small team of 1-10 employees consistent with a family-owned neighborhood florist.

Direct peers

• ProFlowers: Online-only flower and gifting retailer shipping nationwide. Comparable to Eltingville in core floral product and occasion merchandising, though without a local retail storefront.
• BloomsyBox: Farm-direct online florist with subscription and one-off bouquet offerings. Comparable in product (fresh cut flowers) and direct consumer e-commerce model.
• H. Bloom: Premium floral design company offering subscriptions, wedding, and corporate event floral services. Highly comparable to Eltingville's higher-margin wedding and event design line.
• UrbanStems: DTC online florist with strong NYC presence and same-day delivery. Directly comparable in product offering (fresh bouquets, plants, gift bundles) and urban consumer targeting.
• The Bouqs Co. Farm-direct, direct-to-consumer online florist shipping nationwide. Comparable to Eltingville in core product (fresh flowers, plants) and occasion focus, but operates a vertically integrated farm-to-door supply chain rather than local retail.
• FTD: Long-standing national flower delivery network competing with Teleflora for fulfilling florist relationships and consumer occasion orders. Highly comparable to Eltingville in the local-florist-fulfills-network-order model.
• 1-800-Flowers.com: National direct-to-consumer floral and gift e-commerce company (and owner of the Teleflora network). Directly comparable to Eltingville in product category (flowers, gifts, plants) and occasion-based merchandising, though operating at vastly larger scale.

Others

• BloomNation: Online marketplace that connects consumers with local independent florists, similar in customer base to Eltingville's local retail customers. Acts as an enabling platform that competes with Eltingville's direct e-commerce for local occasion orders.

Emerging players

• Flowerbx: Premium DTC flower delivery brand focused on garden roses and design-forward arrangements. Comparable in product category and consumer occasion focus, but at a higher price tier and digitally native.

Broad incumbents

• Teleflora: National floral delivery network under which Eltingville fulfills orders. Teleflora sets the consumer-facing brand, product templates, and partner economics that Eltingville operates within, making it a broader incumbent governing Eltingville's national channel.
