ROMANCE
Before the First
Date
First dates are kind of funny,
lot's of people think that by sending
flowers in advance is going to pave the
way to a great date. Sending flowers
before a first date can have it's
implications. One is that the recipient
may get the wrong impression, here you
are sending some beautiful flowers, and
the recipient may be thinking you are
getting serious already. Sending flowers
does not have to be serious for these
occasions. What you write on the
enclosure card is what makes the
difference. Keep your statement light and
airy. Here is a tip for you, if the date
is a success, when you are dropping them
off, say, "Would it be alright if I come
in to see the flowers, I bought them
on-line and want to make sure they sent
what I chose. They say flowers are a way
to a women's heart, they are also a way
through the front door.
SYMPATHY
Everyone has a friend that at
some time one or both of their parents
die. Some times we have never met that
parent, but we feel for our friend and we
want to let them know how we care about
them. Sending flowers to the funeral home
is always appropriate. But sometimes you
have to go out of your way, to call your
friend and ask where the funeral home is.
But there are other choices. Sending a
basket of Mrs. Beasleys cookies to their
home, is always a welcomed gift,
especially when many guests may be
stopping by to pay their respects to
them. We also suggest you take a look at
our gourmet section.
GET WELL
Terminal
Illness
Everyone deals with illness
differently. Numerous customers over the
years have asked me what the appropriate
flower is to send a terminally ill
patient. I always ask them if they know
what the recipient's favorite flower is.
I then suggest a very small and elegant
vase with those flowers. If you don’t
know their favorite flower, you may
consider sending or bringing them a
plant. When I first opened my first shop,
I did many of the deliveries myself. On
one particular hospital delivery, I went
into the room to deliver a flower
arrangement and the patient said: “Oh
great, more beautiful flowers that I have
to watch wither and die." Ever since that
experience, I have always recommend a
nice green plant. They do well in low
light and you can count on them to last
and grow with time.
CONGRATULATIONS
Congratulations On Your
promotion.
When someone gets promoted it’s
a great feeling. But when this happens
it’s always nice to take something home
with you besides the good news. Flowers
are the perfect gift the newly promoted.
It reminds them of their success and is
always appreciated.
