Jim
McCann, CEO of 1-800-FLOWERS.COM®, opened his first
retail store in 1976 and successfully built his own chain
of 14 flower shops in the New York metropolitan area. In
1986, he acquired the 1-800-FLOWERS® number and continued
to grow his business under the 1-800-FLOWERS® name.
His immediate focus was to create a reliable brand name
built on trust, and over the next few years he achieved
this through his understanding of his customer base and
market. The next logical step was expansion, and McCann
successfully expanded his business into other retail access
channels-going online in 1992 and opening a web site in
1995. Today, 1-800-FLOWERS.COM® has a well-known web
site (www.1800flowers.com), and maintains strategic online
relationships with a number of online services, including
America Online, Microsoft Network (MSN), and Yahoo!.
