Dear Florists,
I wanted to wish you all well, and hope each of you have a successful Valentines Day.
While we have been successful in increasing our membership base all over the world, the North American market see's no growth to speak of in the past year. It appears shops aren't interested in paying less unless it's to FSI, which in reality they are paying almost as much as they would if they belong to Teleflora with the same amount of a clearing house commission.
I came back to this industry as a choice, to try and make a difference in the lives of Florists.
No doubt some of you will be happy I'm exiting, and that's ok I'll respect your opinion.
Thanks goes out to Ryan who has a great concept here, and I hope it only continues to have more shops sign up and add their thoughts and insights.
And no this isn't meant to be a sour grapes message.
Best wishes
Peter
