Ideas for Demonstration

In whatever presentation you do, be sure to include enough information to whet the buying appetite........hopefully they will want to buy from you.

You are in a grocery store....? Correct?

You have a natural, easy, tie-in with flowers - Take a few steps over to your fruit and vegetable department.........Look anew at the colors, the patterns of plant material, the textures, - you aren't looking at fruits and vegetables....You are looking at potential design material.

Good point. You know, we really don't make as much use of the produce as we should considering it's only steps away. I think the produce section is eye candy! I love the bright blocks of color-love the green of granny smith apples, the shape of pineapples, the texture (I'm a texture freak!) of artichokes.......thanks for the great reminder, Ricky!

SAF used to have hand outs concerning the Personality in Flowers. If they still carry them, it would be a nice addition.

lots of time on care and handling for the consumer and toot toot your horn on what you and the grower does before, during and after arrival. Floral preserve folks have lots and lots of info, try their sites, find the sales rep for your part of the country.
