Hi Folks,
I think this is a good thing. Good for the industry. My question is who pays for the flowers? Does the wholesalers give the flowers to the Florists? This was something I was never too clear on.
Canadiana Flowers plans to give away 15,000 free flowers for FTD(R) Good Neighbour Day(R)
TORONTO, Aug. 31 /CNW/ - On Wednesday, September 3rd, 2003 residents of
Toronto will have the unique opportunity to meet each other and develop new
friendships when Canadiana Flowers hosts the annual FTD(R) Good Neighbour
Day(R) event. Beginning 9:00am, Canadiana will give away 15,000 roses in
bunches of a dozen, absolutely FREE to anyone who visits the Eglinton Square
Shopping Centre location, while supplies last.
There is one catch, however Stephen & Chris Mangos, the owners of
Canadiana Flowers hope the goodwill is exactly that - "catching". Anyone who
picks up a dozen free flowers will be asked to sign a promise to keep one of
the flowers for themselves and give the others away to 11 different people -
spreading goodwill and friendship in the community.
"We hope that the people of Toronto will be able to get acquainted with
new people or will renew an old friendship during FTD(R) Good Neighbour
Day(R)," states Chris Mangos. "We hope to help create a friendlier, more
caring and compassionate world, starting right here in Toronto." "Torontonians
have been through quite a lot these past few months and we want to just say
'Thanks Toronto' for hanging in".
FTD(R) Good Neighbour Day(R) is being celebrated for the tenth year
throughout the United States and Canada at participating FTD(R) floral shops
as a day of celebrating goodwill toward all people. It is expected that
thousands of FTD(R) Florists in North America will participate in this year's
FTD(R) Good Neighbour Day(R) event, giving away millions of free flowers.
