Hello, I am new here and a friend of mine said this is a great place to vent and learn. I opened my first store last july and am coming on my 1 year anniversary.

I have been meaning to REALLY get involved on FC and been procratinating and now in my time of need "Wrdlady47" refered me and is helping me in time of crisis with Teleflora.

I have been in business almost 1 year, I have been designing for ten years, I was an apprentice to a wonderful florist in Westfield NJ for a few years and taught me everything she knew, and now I am seeking the advice of wrdlady and all of you to help better myself and my business...

I have a lot of weddings and parties booked for this summer and my town and surrounding areas are really taking a liking to me and my designs, I am excited for a wonderful and prosperous future, but being a new business owner I have been hitting A LOT OF ROAD BLOCKS. I am hoping belonging to your community will give me the support I need to survive, and I hope the knowledge I have (be it only 10years) may help others also.

SIDE NOTE: I am freaking out, have had nothing but problems with Teleflora since the I signed with them. I don't have many friends in the industry so I am hoping to find a few friends to lean on for support, and I am a good listener too so I hope to return the favor. Thank you all!!! Hope to speak to you all soon!!!

:yourock:

Thank you!!
AnnMarie

We were told of your Teleflora problem in another thread. I am going through the same thing with them right now. You can call me if you want to talk about it 708/361-2223 I have to run out ofr a few minutes but I will be back after 1:30 Central time

Welcome, by the way!
 
Welcome, I know you will really enjoy the people here. I hope everything works out for you with TF. I dropped them years ago.
 
Welcome!
Hope the nonsense w/tf gets straightened out. As someone here said to me, those wire svcs are the evil satan and make a lot of people mad :wallhead:
 
Welcome !! Just remember to remain calm and have a paper trial. You have ALOT of support here. Don't be afraid to ask for it.
 
Hello there Jersey Girl, from a Texas Girl...Welcome!!

I'm about to go through the TF thing myself, so I'll be looking for your update postings.

as long as she's NOT 'chicken"!!
Dealing with the wire service heirachy getting IN is easy as pie, however, getting out, makes you feel like you've been in "prison" which is the best analogy at this point, and Annemarie is now feeling the "sentence" of being "convicted" by the courts of wire service.
Annemarie...welcome!!
We'll help as much as possible!!
How much is purportedly "owed"??
Do you have a "deposit" with them, or are you on a "trial" period??
 
Welcome, from another NJ florist. I know you'll find so much that you need here, in the way of answers, ideas and friendship.

Welcome to the board!

You'll find a wealth of information here, but here are a couple get aquainted tips.

There is also a helpful red Search icon at the top of every page(not the Google search)
Search Query section
Search for Key Words;__________________________

Below that click on the "Search for All Terms" button, effectively unchecking the default selection of "Search for any terms or use query as entered"

Search Options section
Select which "Forum" to search in at a time, or at all.

For example, "wire service" I would only search in the "Wire Service" section.
Many people that are new here seem to have a common theme, frustration with the wire services. Believe me, this has been discussed hundreds of times, and it's doubtful that anything new will come from further discussion of the exact same topics that has't been already beat to death, repeatedly.

That's the basic way, you can limit further by using some of the other "Drop-Down" menu's like if you know the thread you are looking for is only a week or so old, etc....

Now that you have a list of threads you've searched for, do not just click on the thread you want to read. Instead RIGHT click on the thread and select "Open in New Window" This will pop up a new window with that thread in it, leaving your searched list intact for you to go back to.

The purpose of the "Search" is to offer a member the opportunity to research his/her question better. There is so much information from past threads that you may never see because that member is no longer here, or doesn't see your new post, or just won't respond to the same question. So use it to your advantage and enjoy the board! View this funny and informative film about posting and searching?BR>http://uploads.ungrounded.net/188000/188612_Posting.swf

Take a few minutes to familiarize yourself with the forum. At the top of every board there are threads that are tagged as "Sticky" These threads are "Sticky" because they contain very important/valuable information about the forum and everyone should read them.

Following these simple tips will help keep the board pertinent, and eliminate the large numbers of S-O-S posts that we get here on a daily basis, thereby making this board the valuable useful tool it can be.

But we don't want the valuable, golden money making info threads to be lost in the sea of chaff.....

and please don't just be a lurker but an active contributor!
