My first post

As an introduction to myself, I am on a steep learning curve about the dynamic floral industry. What have I learned in the few short weeks that I have been in this industry: A flower is a living being. Time is critical. Customer service is paramount. We sell emotions, feelings. Marketing is essential. In this electronic age, change is a password. We need to "roll with it" or we get left behind. I hope to learn as much as possible from my colleagues in the industry about the most effective tools available for marketing this fabulous product.

In your introductory post where you answered the questions, you stated that you had been in the industry for 30 years. In "My first post," you stated that you have been in the industry for a few short weeks. Just curious as to what those two contradictory statements mean.

I'm thinking she gave her age. However, I too would appreciate a clarification.

Thanks for answering the questions.

Welcome to FC Donna. I believe you have already learned a lot in your few short weeks.

Just remember to implement what you have already learned.

Hi Donna. Welcome to FC.

The photo of your shop on your website is darling.

Just wondering...

Did you purchase the shop from Barry, or do you work for him?
