I've been thinking a bit today ...
I'm considering expanding the scope of FlowerChat. Currently we are the premier forum for those in the floral industry to discuss issues of the day. Many relationships have been formed on boards of this nature.
Here's what I'm thinking of doing:
I'd like to add a public portion to FlowerChat, for floral enthusiasts and consumer input and questions. Let me be clear. The existing portions of FlowerChat will remain CLOSED to the public, just as they are now. I would add new forum(s) for lay people to interact with us, and new industry members would have to be moderated before gaining full access. I'm hoping that through this forum we can build strong relationships with consumers and better educate them about our industry.
For this to work well, current members would have to market FlowerChat to their customers. This doesn't have to involve any cost - just a link or button ad on your websites, a note printed on statements, etc. I'm also hoping to persue some other means of advertising soon.
Please vote on the poll, and post your thoughts here.
