Belonging to the British Florist Association should be part of every professional florists business portfolio. Not only does it give you a sign of professionalism to hang in your shop but could save and make you money as well with a host of member benefits including discounted Contracts of Employment, LloydsTSB Cardnet Credit/Debit card processing deal exclusive to BFA members – currently the ‘best deal’ within our sector saving you from tens to hundreds of pounds with Visa Credit Card processing from a little over 1% (T&C’s apply), Yellow Pages/BFA ‘Exclusive’ member advertising programme, and access to our Free helpline. Member benefits are a focus in 2008, and we look forward to giving our members many more exclusive deals.
