This review was chosen algorithmically as the most valued customer feedback.

My brother bought the license to an existing company for his wife called speaking roses. The company claimed that they own the patent and that if anyone does the same they can be put out of business. There are so many companies doing what they do. My brother paid $30, 000.00 and the same product is selling for $1500.00.

It is a system that is not working for the licensees. They are just selling these licenses and it clearly a system that is not working. They use video and images from different websites to promote this business.

I agree this is a very very bad investment I would discourage anyone from this "opportunity" You will never get your money back out of it

This company is one of the best I've ever worked with you can get started for way less the $30'000 and any company is going to cost you . These people are so very helpful there teem are always there for you and if you do what they teach you you can do well I do .

If you look critically at the website, you will recognize the type of promotion often associated with parting people with as much money as the law will allow. What angers me most about speaking roses and their ilk, is the complete lack of conscience in targeting and taking most commonly, the life savings of hard-working individuals only wanting to make a better place for their families.

I HOPE that people will think long and hard about giving up $30, 000, and then setting out to sell stamped roses, and the sheer number that one needs to sell, just to break even at the original investment.

Hello Sir,
I have heard of this company and advise everyone to do research and enquire further about their patents, they claimed they have worlwide patents but alot of companies say this in order to scare off the competition.
I would insists that if you are looking to deals with them then do some basic research and ask them if a patent has been granted for their region. If not then you are not doing anything wrong by purchasing equipment elsewhere.

John, apparently you didn't do the research! their patents they don't just cover printing on flowers but also covers printing on fruits as well. I have been with them for 3 years and in the beginning we started slow, because my wife was pregnant, but now we do this full time! If you put your products on the classifieds on facebook ads and do a little boost! wow! you better get ready for the orders! we work from our garage, and do online sales, fundraising and corporate sales! That's plenty of work for us! So of course you need to work to make things happen, and nothing happen overnight! but in the first 6 months one of our orders was for $ 14, 000 dollars ! it was for the gran opening of a mall in town and they wanted to emotionally connect with their community, and they knew the our product with the message could be in home for at least 5-7 days! Best Day ever!
