Anyone have good marketing ideas?

Hi Ron, We have a bunch of ideas for both in-store marketing and improving an online web presence.

Hi Tracey,
At the moment,I'm door knocking on the few corporations that I have in my towm. I was successful as to getting the accounts from a different Florist from a different area. I'm offering anyone who places an order a 20% discount on local orders and free wirs charge.Also belong to 2 network groups and sell my goods to all that are there. It's really slow here in S.W. Florida and the economy really hurts in my area. Hope that September shows an increase in business. Ron

Hope that September shows an increase in business.

We look for September and the days when the children are back in school. When Mom has some free time that's when our business experiences an increase.

Welcome to FlowerChat.....

To answer your question, even in Michigan...we had a banner year ourselves.

Last Friday was the last day of our fiscal year, which ended with a 17.1% increase over the previous year.

Again, welcome.
