Robots have feelings too, right? Well, maybe not, but FlowerDeliveryExpress.com is delivering flowers and romantic feelings of love via drone just in time for Valentine's Day.
Wesley Berry, CEO of FlowerDeliveryExpress.com, recently conducted the first known flower delivery by drone. Watch the drone flower delivery, which took place in West Bloomfield, Mich., here http://bit.ly/1lXLQgn.
"We're in the business of delivering surprises and conveying emotions – not just delivering flowers," said Berry. "Technology is ever-changing, and we're having a lot of fun experimenting with alternative flower delivery methods, such as our successful flowers by drone delivery. We're also testing other unique delivery methods such as trucks carrying pre-made bouquets for rapid delivery and developing other guarded secret methods. We want to offer new and exciting experiences to our customers, so we're asking for their help to keep our products innovative and relevant."
FlowerDeliveryExpress.com is launching a consumer beta program to test alternative delivery methods and other development efforts with a select group of customers before going to market. Consumers can sign up for the beta test group at www.FlowerDeliveryExpress.com/beta. Participation is not guaranteed, and you must be a U.S. resident.
In the business of shipping flowers, FlowerDeliveryExpress.com is taking action to stay ahead. "Drones are an emerging technology that will provide an economically viable shipping option for our customers," said Berry. "We believe the use of drones will become common practice in the near future."
Berry added: "Drones, fly out!"
