Well... the trees are down, lights and Christmas balls put away for another 11 months and a big Welcome to the new year. It was great to see all our valued customers, friends and our new customers over the holidays. We hope everyone has a great 2010! Here at the store, we are very excited to start another year as the florist of choice in the east mountains.
Some programs have been created with you, the flower buyer, in mind. We hope that some or all of these programs will be of interest to you, and useful!
Some of our customers are already members of the popular "Bunch Club". Once you have purchased 9 wrapped bouquets, the 10th is on us! Choose from our selection of fresh cut flowers in the cooler, special order a wrap bouquet, or grab one of our "love ya" bunches that are ready to go! This program is for wrapped flowers only, not vase arrangements.
"Recycle Vase Program". Bring us 5 glass vases and we will give you a 'love ya' bunch for your efforts. So as you're cleaning off your garage shelves or under the kitchen sink, box up those vases and bring them to the store for your free bouquet. Be sure to keep a vase for yourself!
"Special Occasion Reminder Club". (SORC) Have you ever forgotten your anniversary? How about a birthday or two? Say good-bye to those days forever! Just register those important dates along with all your contact information and delivery information in the SORC. 5 days before the important date, we will give you a reminder call and insure that your special someone receives a beautiful bouquet on the special day! We can also give you the heads up for holidays like Valentine's Day and Mother's Day. This program insures you many hugs and kisses. Ladies, know someone who needs this program? Give us a call and register for him! We will take care of the rest.
As some of you know, we maintain a wonderful reputation at Pa-ako as the florist of choice. We have been involved with all the weddings held at their facilities for the past four years. Wedding arrangements are my favorite. I love working with the young couples and making sure their special day is beautiful. We deliver wedding flowers all across the metro area also. No location is too far!
If you know anyone who is in need of a wonderful wedding florist, send them our way for a free consultation. If the couple selects us as their florist, we will buy You dinner for two. That's our way of saying 'Thank YOU' for the referral. After all, You are our best advertising.
February 14th is on Sunday this year. The store will be filled with beautiful flowers and other great gifts to make your "Day of Love" complete. If your plans include dinner at one of the local restaurants, order a bouquet and chocolates for desert! We will be delivering as late as necessary. Mention this newsletter and place your flower delivery before February 5 to receive 15% off your order. Again, we will have wonderful arrangements ready to go, fresh cut Flowers for wrapped bouquets, boxed chocolates, candles, cards and other gifts for your sweetheart.
The East Mountain Telegraph made a visit to our store over the holiday and wrote a wonderful article about us! If you missed it, come by the store to see our copy. Lucy is really a popular pup now. "Thank You" again to all who choose to shop locally here with us. We truly strive to be known for the best flowers and service. Please pass along our 800 number ( 866-875-2837) to your friends and family to insure you receive the best! Or they can visit our web site, www.whatabouttheflowers.com and place their flower order there.We still hear complaints about the other flower delivery companies advertising on the web. That's about all they do...advertise!
Again, Happy New Year and hope to see you soon!
