Online business in bloom
Written by: Martin Zika
Did you remember at the last moment
that your business partner is celebrating a special occasion? Do
you have too little free time to go off shopping for a small gift?
No need for despair - there are plenty of Czech websites through
which you can buy a present or flowers, and even arrange to have
it arrive right at someone's door.
http://www.flowers.cz
Well arranged and user-friendly, an extensive offer of goods
(cut flowers, bouquet arrangements and household plants, etc.),
exhaustive information on how the web works and the comfort
of all existing options for payment on delivery - this a brief
summary of e-shop flowers.cz. Under certain conditions (i.e.,
ordering on time), the flowers you choose will be taken to their
destination the same day. You can also find other useful services
on this website, such as the possibility to order the delivery
and regular treatment of potted plants, or to request notices
free-of-charge reminding you of important celebrations and anniversaries.

http://www.ekytky.cz
From the point of view of flowers available or quality of website
design, Ekytky matches flowers.cz (however, the goods are only
delivered within Prague). You will find all necessary information
here, as well as instructions for using the pages. The payment
options cover practically all existing methods, and goods will
be delivered for you on the same day, if required. The flowers
are divided into many different sections, according to occasion
- for example, wedding, funeral, birth of a child, etc. Besides
flowers, you can also add a suitable gift such as a box of candy
or a bottle of whiskey.

The delivery period is one week or more (express delivery can

you must register. Online payment options are also limited:
credit cards or the use of a bank payment system are not possible.

http://www.czech-tradition.cz
As the name indicates, you can basically purchase gifts in this
shop made from such classic materials as wood, glass, beeswax,
ceramic, etc. The conditions for delivery and payment are almost
exactly what one would expect in an e-shop - cash, credit card
or through the eBanka payment system. The delivery period fluctuates
between one to 14 days, depending on the amount of ordered goods.

http://www.darky2000.cz
This website offers an entire range of gift items such as luxury
pens, caps, and umbrellas, wallets and wrist watches. You can
also find a special section here entitled Managerial Gifts.
The usual delivery period for goods without a logo is 10-20
working days. The value of your purchase must be higher than
CZK 4,000, and you can pay cash in advance or C.O.D. You can
also monitor the status of your delivery through the Česká pošta
pages.

This website is designed mainly for personnel managers. They can find
articles on various topics, a list of educational institutions and
firms which are active in the area of human resources, as well as
a list of consulting firms and professional organizations. There are
also links to foreign websites active in this field.
http://www.vseprobydleni.cz
Visitors to this site will find databases of firms whose services
are very important to the housing market, as well as articles relating
to this issue. The option to share experiences with other developers
could also prove very useful. One drawback is that at first glance
the website looks a little cluttered.
http://www.idif.cz
This is the website of the Institute of Digital Photographs, which
was recently established in Prague. Its goal is to support the field
of digital photography, and its pages are primarily devoted to information
regarding this activity. Look for invitations to seminars and lectures,
reports on new publications, and so on.
