New Canadian Internet Marketing Program Delivers
Online Consumers to FTD Florists

DOWNERS GROVE, IL. (October 26, 2006) - FTD Florists in Canada can now advertise their web site on Google, Yahoo! and MSN with FTD Local Search. This new Internet marketing program provides members with prominent placement in search results with the most popular search engines in the world.

FTD Local Search gives millions of consumers the opportunity to shop from florists' web sites or by phone with the shop receiving 100% of every order. Best of all, FTD Members only pay for visitors who look at their ad, chose to enter their site and view their product online. This service also gives members the opportunity to set up a monthly campaign budget.

"There are over 18.9 million Canadians online that conduct an average of 55 searches per month," said Bill Van Cleave, FTD's Executive Vice President of Member Services. "With the FTD Local Search marketing platform, we're able to provide our florists with the industry's best - and virtually hands-free - local search marketing solution, helping them build their businesses by connecting with potential customers online."

In addition, FTD Members will receive reports that provide site visitors, phone calls, e-mails and e-commerce transactions. These easy to-read reports will allow florists to determine how many visitors and orders they're receiving as a result of their advertising investment.

FTD Florists will be sure to reach the millions of consumers shopping online by combining the FTD Local Search with FTD's other two Internet marketing programs, FTD Online YellowPages and FTDflorists.com.

For more information about FTD Local Search, call 800-788-9000, ext. 8990 or email myfbc@ftdi.com.
