Costly 1-800-Flowers' FLWS Valentine's Day Snafu:

By Nicole Giannopoulos
It's a week later and 1-800-Flowers is still attempting to make up for their epic fail this Valentine's Day. The retailer sent more than 1,000 individual apologies on Twitter and Facebook, but customers say it doesn't cut it.

Not only did the e-commerce flower retailer fail to deliver, when trying to contact customer service phone lines were unavailable and e-mails received automated replies, but to top it off customers also received no deliveries, wilted flowers and incorrect card messages. In addition to the inevitable annual hiccups — technical difficulties, shipping delays, flowers damaged in transit…

ITEM 5.02 (e) Departure of Directors or Certain Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of Certain Officers; Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers
Departure of a Director
Mr. Jeffrey C. Walker, a director of 1-800-FLOWERS.COM, INC. (the “Company”) since February 1995, has retired from the Company’s Board of Directors effective as of January 12, 2012. Mr. Walker has advised the Company that he is retiring in order to devote more time to his multiple philanthropic interests and his decision is not due to any disagreement with the Company on any matter relating to the Company’s operations, policies or practices.

Mr. Walker was a member of the Audit Committee and the Chairperson of the Compensation Committee. The Board appointed Mr. James Cannavino, a current member of the Compensation Committee, as the new Chairperson of such committee.

Election of a Director
On January 12, 2012, the Board of Directors of the Company elected Eugene F. DeMark, a Class II director, and Geralyn R. Breig, a Class I director, effective on January 12, 2012. Mr. DeMark’s term will expire at the Company’s 2013 Annual Meeting of the Stockholders and Ms. Breig’s term will expire at the Company’s 2012 Annual Meeting. The Company’s Board of Directors has determined that each of the new directors is an independent director, as such independent requirements are established by the Nasdaq Stock Market, Inc. and the Securities and Exchange Commission under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder.

Mr. DeMark, age 64, worked for KPMG LLP, a global professional services firm, from June 1969 until his retirement in October 2009. Mr. DeMark served as the Advisory Northeast Area Managing Partner at KPMG LLP from October 2005 until his retirement. Since his retirement, Mr. DeMark has been an independent consultant. He was elected to KPMG’s partnership in 1979 and went on to lead a number of specialized practices such as Banking, High Technology, Media and Entertainment and Aerospace and Defense. Among his accomplishments at KPMG he worked on the research staff of the Commission on Auditor’s Responsibilities (the predecessor to the Treadway Commission) that was formed to assess increases in fraudulent financial reporting and developed KPMG’s first study guide on SEC reporting.

Mr. DeMark holds a B.B.A degree from Hofstra University and is a Certified Public Accountant and a member of the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants and the New York State Society of Certified Public Accountants. He has served as chairman of the Long Island chapter of multiple sclerosis, president of the Nassau County council of the Boy Scouts of America and National Association of Accountants, Treasurer of the New Long Island Partnership and chairman of the Economic Development Task Force – Project Long Island. Mr. DeMark also served on the board of directors of United Way on Long Island and chaired its nominating committee. He now serves on the Council of Overseers of the Tilles Center for the Performing Arts (Long Island University).

Currently, Mr. DeMark is a member of the Board of Directors of BankUnited and is the chair of the Audit Committee. The Bank is the largest independent bank in Florida. The Board appointed Mr. DeMark to serve on the Company’s Audit Committee since he has over 40 years of financial experience at KPMG LLP which include 35 years in various position on the firm’s audit practice.

Ms. Breig, age 49, worked for Avon Products, Inc. from 2005 until 2011. Her most recent role was the Senior Vice President and President of Avon North America and General Manager of Avon USA from 2008 until 2011. Prior to that, she was the Senior Vice President & Brand President of Avon’s Global Marketing Business Unit. During her tenure at Avon, Ms. Breig had full profit and loss responsibility for Avon’s business performance in North America, including the United States, Canada, Puerto Rico and the Caribbean. Under her leadership, a comprehensive three-year sales, marketing and supply chain transformation plan was developed and implemented to restore long term improved performance for the company’s domestic operations.

Prior to her work at Avon, Ms. Breig held several executive positions at The Campbell Soup Company from 1995 to 2005. She started as a Vice President of Strategy for Pepperidge Farm, Inc., served as Vice President of Marketing for Pepperidge Farm, Inc. and in 2002 was named the President of Godiva Chocolatier International and Managing Director for Godiva Europe. Ms. Breig began her career in brand management for the Beauty Care Division at The Procter & Gamble Company and from 1986 to 1995 she held several managerial positions at Kraft Foods, Inc.

Ms. Breig holds a B.S. degree from The Wharton School of University of Pennsylvania. She is currently on the Board of Trustees of the Villa Maria Education Center (a not-for-profit organization). Previously, she was a director of the Avon Foundation from 2008 until 2011 and served as a director and executive committee member for the Personal Care Products Council from 2008 to 2011. The Board appointed Ms. Breig to serve on the Company’s Compensation Committee.

In connection with their appointments, Mr. DeMark and Ms. Breig were granted the same compensation as the other non-employee directors. As such, they are entitled to receive, an annual retainer of $30,000 and an annual restricted stock award of the Company’s Class A Common Stock equal to the value of $20,000 (determined by the closing price of the shares on the date of the Annual Meeting). For this year, each will receive $27,500 of the retainer and $18,333 in the Company’s Class A Common Stock, determined by the closing price of the shares on January 12, 2012 (the date of their election and first board meeting attendance).

BloomNet® Quality Care Program Raises the Bar for Fulfilling Floral Orders and Satisfying Customers

BloomNet®, the floral industry’s preferred wire service provider and one-stop destination for innovative products and best-in-class services, has announced the launch of a comprehensive Florist Quality Care Program with the goal of consistently achieving 100% customer satisfaction on all florist-to-florist transactions. The Program, developed by florists for florists, strives to promote, encourage and facilitate a sharing of ideas and best practices among retail florists as a way of increasing sales and profit potential for all BloomNet Professional Florists.

“We’re working closely with florists throughout our network to raise the customer experience to a whole new level,” said Mark Nance, AAF, and President of BloomNet. “By supporting and adhering to the standards of our new Florist Quality Care Program, BloomNet Florists can differentiate themselves from other floral retailers, assuring customers that they’re getting the best and most responsive personal service along with the finest products. In addition, BloomNet Florists can be confident that every outgoing and incoming floral order will be treated with the utmost care and attention to detail.”

The BloomNet Florist Quality Care Program has been established with extensive input from florists all over the country as well as through the expertise of a Quality Care board consisting of highly successful florists representing more than 200 years of combined industry experience. Florists also monitor the Program.

Among the Program’s quality criteria are: maintaining an attractive and professional shop appearance; maintaining adequate refrigeration for fresh floral inventory; using only the highest quality fresh flowers in all orders; employing well-trained and skilled design and sales personnel; supporting same-day delivery capability; filling all incoming orders to full value; communicating with fellow florists in a timely manner; making certain that customers are totally satisfied regarding all orders; maintaining accurate records on all orders; and communicating information about all substitutions to sending florists.

“Surveys indicate that quality is the number-one factor in buying flowers from the consumer perspective,” continued Mr. Nance. “We believe the quality guidelines contained in the BloomNet Florist Quality Care Program are unparalleled in the floral industry, truly a benchmark for exceptional customer service and superior products that will provide enhanced opportunities for BloomNet Professional Florists to grow their businesses.”

As part of the program, florists and their collective staff members who demonstrate quality excellence can be nominated for an Award of Quality Achievement. Award winners will be recognized in both the print and online BloomNet Directories, their photos will be printed in BloomNet’s monthly floriology® magazine and they will be featured on BloomNet’s Facebook page.

Being identified as an award recipient can help build stronger relationships with other professional florists. Complementing the added recognition they will receive among fellow florists, award winners will be presented with their awards in-shop as a way of promoting their accomplishment and they will also be provided with press releases that can be used in their local market to make consumers aware of their achievement. “We are very proud and excited for being awarded one of the BloomNet Florist Quality Care Awards, especially due to the fact it is an award voted on by fellow BloomNet florists. We really appreciate how BloomNet has helped us grow our business,” stated Greg Forsberg of The Dancing Dandelion, Las Vegas, NV.

So let's talk TA
The recent pattern is for the pps to bounce off the 50

If there is any retail in this position let's start a dialog
Looks to me to """confirm"""" FLWS will trade sideways for 1 and maybe 2 weeks then bounce

A message board CAN NOT create value that's up to the company
But a honest board keeps those who like to manipulate at bay
I wish that FLWS would have quickly responded to a clearly outline email I sent about 10 years ago when they were trading at about 8. I pointed out a flaw that was not responded to in fact FLWS would not even respond to my email posted on the yahoo board
And they still have the same flaw
This company has great potential but they need to listen being on national TV and admitting major flaws was a great start
