I hope there isn't already a thread about this topic, I looked and looked.
Do any of you out there have blogs? I just started mine, and I have found it to be a great way to be really personal with my clients. I would love to see some of your blogs, and read about what is going on in your shops.
Mine is urbanfloral.blogspot.com
 
Candyce... I love the Dusty Miller in the pic, also great combo with the rusted metal...

Good start on the blog too.
 
Fun blog! I love the ones that make you feel like you're chatting with a friend, and yours really has that feel. Great job!

Our blog is at blog.centraloregonweddingflowers.com. I'm still very new to the blogging game, but I find it enjoyable when I sit down and do it! ... I need to work on that procrastination thing ...

LOVE your logo, too, by the way.
 
Hey thanks guys! I really wasn't expecting to log on and read that.
I am located in Utah, Logan Utah to be exact.
Michelle your website is amazing. I hope to have one that good someday.
BOSS and Eric S do you have a blog?
No bama, I have no idea how to use the search function. I suppose I should figure it out.
 
nevermind

Actually nevermind. I just clicked on your names and it showed me both of your websites! Now thats handy.
 
Okay, so I am super excited because I have managed to get our blog started!!

Me pulling the boys out of the dark ages of technology (just kidding, well, mostly)

Let me know what you think! I tried to make it simple and straightforward, especially since I am not too sure of how the heck to do this!

I just started my blog. http://stemsflowershop.blogspot.com
I am still learning what they are all about!
It's fun, when I get the time!
I also do a email newsletter each month, where I do get personal and
have great response.
I am trying to figure out what to put on the blogs and also, trying to
find the time to actually post.
Thanks for posting, I learn from each blog I read.

Dore,

Your blog is really fun. I thought I was looking at a Utah Florist when I started perusing the pics. Funny how our lighting is so similar between here SLC and Colorado.

I love your pics!
 
I went with a micro-blog, instead of a full out blog. Here is my twitter page: www.twitter.com/florist

www.twitter.com
www.friendfeed.com
www.seesmic.com (if you want to do micro video blogs)

Most people, and I have seen research on this, do not want to read some long post, the cool thing about micro blogs, is you have 140 characters and people don't mind reading. I think that google likes the twitter feed on my page www.chicfloral.com (I know it is ugly) so as for SEO, I am not sure. BUT having an interactive micro blog, so people can follow you, is nice when you want to hit your target market.

If you do go with a micro blog, DL this: http://www.twhirl.org/ it makes it easier.

I crowd sourced, a few months ago, through my tweet, looking for a rose bush that produced green roses. Who ever got back to me first, they got a free Pralus ($8) bar of chocolate. A lady found a nursery back east, saved me 1 hour of time, she came in to get the chocolate. And it's not about her getting the chocolate, but she didn't even know I got hr hooked and into my shop, which she had never been in. Crowd sourcing is so awesome, and this is a way florists can use it and make new customers.

If you want to make your own blog site, like Heather did, use wordpress, she introduced me to them and they are the best.
