Flowerchat flyer?

[LORRIE]

Has anyone made a flyer advertising FC to distribute to florists at meetings etc.?
I am going to a few events soon and thought something in print might be helpful. No need to reinvent the wheel if it's already been done.

I thought of it but few of the florists in this town see the need for the internet let alone that of a florist only chat area. Scary but true.

What I had in mind was a florist association meeting and the mid season conference- Also our reps who visit from shop to shop often bring flyers about events to other shops and perhaps a wholesaler or two that might help distribute them (just with our area i mind- might work differently in other areas)

There is not one that I know of...but it's not a bad idea...

If you would lke to put something together and send it to me I'll give you a hand with it...

My plates pretty full right now or I'd give it a shot...

 

[LORRIE]

I'll give it a whirl- nothing fancy- and it can always be revised if necessary!

I would be more than happy to make up a flyer and hand it out among other florists that I know.

I go to the flower auction on a regular basis and get chatting with lots there that I wouldnt see otherwise, so, I will be sure to make some up and....tell my flower friends!

I have not been on here much since I signed on as a member so my posts are few (this is my second) but from what I have seen, this site is great, I would love to promote it! :yourock:

I also would be happy distibute some to the area florists and the wholesalers are always happy to help, they have in the past with shows, we reach 3 states successfully. Get them here and I will deliver to all, great idea!

When it is done, it could be posted in such a way (although I am not sure how that works) so that all of us could click on it and then print off copies when we are going to a meeting or such. Anyone know the best way to do that?

Glenn,
Mark also suggested mentioning the FREE Real florist dirctory on www.reallocalflorists.com and the blog direct link www.realflorist.com which I will add .I also think a mention of the detective site is in order.
Ryan thanks for the clean up!!

If anyone wants a copy of the finished product please give me your fax number and I will send a copy for you to copy and distribute in your area.

 

[Luc]

Yep, these need to be included... and then we need to load it up here, so that everyone has access to it.. if you want, email it to me, and I will post the finished copy here...

I will also bring copies with me to the Napco Preshow in Jacksonville Fla this weekend.

There is a general rule that many things reach a critical mass when adoption exceeds twenty percent.

With most of the US florists still using the old ways, there's little motivation to create new systems or new relationships to improve their profits. The twenty percent rule says that the impetus to create more real florists tools will only surface when "real florists" adoption become great enough, after which the better tools will impel more and more florists to adopt the new trend, creating a snowball effect.

As I have suggested before if each FlowerChat member would bring 10 new members...we could work our way to move over that hump of twenty percent...

Broadband in the US now exceeds thirty percent, and JupiterResearch expects it to grow much more quickly than in the past few years. Broadband, in other words, is over the hump. And, yea, that's going to have a big impact on the way florists do digital business.

Lorrie, our association meeting is next week, and I'd surely like to distribute this information to our members. Thanks for your generousity.

Local wholesalers

As I have mentioned before, one of my local wholesalers has agreed to pass the info around as well...

I know not everyone will find one willing to do so, but if you take the time to explain to them that if they lose many florists, they too will lose biz, you might find that they are willing to assist in spreading the word...

It IS worth a shot...
