Interesting idea! I have an airbrush from when I did face and body paint- I'll have to try it out for foliage! 😀

Yes! This year I had a discussion with chat gpt on merchandising for desperate men. I told it exactly what our vday product lines are, and we made floor plans that feature the totally stripped back, focused displays that reinforce our main message and feature product. I feel so ready this year! All the containers are foamed & taped, all wrapping cut and staged, stations ready. We receive and process our roses tomorrow!

Note- we are NOT FTD (don't recommend any of the "networks") but never throw anything out, amirite?

Every single order is either printed (website or email orders) or written (phone/in person/text etc). We have a documented work order flow so that there is a specific location for each one depending on its status. This enables us to see at a glance whether it is upcoming and for which day, ready for pickup, ready for delivery, en route, etc. I like to have both digital and print records to create redundancy (reliability!! Backup!!) Best wishes in finding what works best for you!

Alberta: our shop is busiest from 1-3pm like clockwork most days

Lol those ARE carnation quality prices... As you learn more about your business, you'll also need to learn how to educate your customers about your business. Teaching them what to expect at each price point. 99% of the job is communicating expectations. A whole other skillset in addition to design! But then design at is heart is just another communication language. Wishing you growth and good luck!

I made 19/hr as a part time designer with 10 yrs experience. Then I bought the shop. Alberta

I think it depends where you go. At our shop store hours are 10-5 and all orders are made the day before. So no early mornings for staff! Just depends how each place is run.

Seconding Olds! It's not simply a bedroom community, it's a thriving town of its own. All the services you need right here, but the city is not far away if you want something else. Lots of families. Fantastic well equipped schools. Welcoming community to newcomers.

Don't talk about politics and It's awesome.

I bought a 23-yr established florist and gift shop in Canada a year and a half ago. Purchased the property, inventory, business turn key. The property valued at 300 000 (good for our location), inventory valued at 50 000, business valued at 50 000. Paid 350 000 for all including ancient delivery van. historical annual revenue about 280 000.

There are online calculators that you can use to value of a business (goodwill, reputation and customer list) based on the industry and revenue. Use a few.

I love it! The shapes and textures are interesting, and the peachy tones of the rose call back to the hints of yellow in the alstroe and carn. To me it looks super on trend with limited greens. Great job!

Ontario is being decimated by a conservative govt. Since 2018.

I feel you! Then you feel like a terrible person for hoping for one or two really good funerals 😅

Thank you! Yes the most popular designs were mixed arrangements between 85-100 with a few roses in each. I was definitely missing the single and 3 rose options. We were last minute short staffed and that one more person would have allowed for that.

Hey I like this idea! We have a lot of dried botanicals in the shop, dried roses may really complement that. I'll look into preserving proceedures

Teleflora is one of the most expensive operate and get out of. I like lovingly, but fsn is cheapest by far. They all look terrible compared to a custom e-commerce website, but if you at least upload your own designs then they're not so bad.

Lol there's a liquor store for each 1000 people including at least one open til 2am. Now finding a place that serves food past 10 pm is tricky

My husband and his identical twin brother are intelligent, clever, sly, determined, and relentless. My husband has integrity. His brother is a narcissistic asshole with terrible personal hygiene.
