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.
