I used to not care too much about websites. I cared more about making groovy floral arrangements. I figured if you had a website, that's good enough. yeah, I don't think that anymore.
Cathy's talk about websites all the time has me excited about them. I'm even thinking of going to school to learn to be a web developer... or what ever you call them.
So since I'm so interested in this I thought I'd check out some flower shop websites.
Boy, what a shock.
Almost 90% of them I looked at were TF templates. AND out of the 90% MOST of them had the same stuff on their home page.
stupid summertime splash.....
No, not really a stupid arrangement. It's a cute cube arrangement. It's just that almost every website I went to guess what I saw first.
So I got to thinking....
If I were a regular old customer shopping around, why would I choose one shop over the other?
And if I were a BRIDE why would I choose one shop over the other.
We are lucky, no other TF shop here. But even so we have our own stuff on our TF website as well as our other site. And theres no TF stuff on our non TF site at all. And don't get me wrong, we need to do a lot to our website as well, we just have a little extra advantage with being the only TF shop here.
So then I started wondering some more.... I wonder if the peeps who have a TF template know that they can put their own stuff on the site?
well, just in case ya don't know, you can. Just wanted to let you all know that, ESPECIALLY if you live in a big city. I went looking at the shops in one of my old hoods, and it was kinda sad for me.
The one website I found that was different...it was a beautiful site, just so-so designs. In my opinion at least.
Just throwing that out there-
