Here's a message from one of our Satisfied Classifieds Customers

I just wanted to extend my thanks to Canadian Institute of Floral Design's ProFlorists
E-Classifieds, and make you aware of how successful my classified ad was with you.

I started a flower shop 5 years ago (A Room to Bloom) in Toronto, and had to sell for personal reasons.  I placed an ad on the CIFD website and had tremendous response.  The shop sold within 2 weeks and I still got emails for weeks after! Great work! Sincerely, Marian McEwen
