About Me: 54 year-old family biz started by Dad, I recently purchased the business from the family. In the process of re-marketing and re-branding the store. Have 17 years of experience in safety for the gasoline, propane and diesel industry (explosive environments.) What great preparation for retail sales!

hmm, explosive.....like the day before Mother's Day, Valentine's Day and the two weeks before Christmas?? Yeppers, those can be explosive and handle with care !! Welcome.
Have ya'll a web site??
Do you just "manage" or are you getting your hands green?

 

[safeguy]

Yep, done the holiday thing since I was one year old.
Website is plain 'ol vanilla but have plans to revamp in the next 6 months.
www.rishflorist.com
Also, take a look at my sister company www.whitetentevent.com This is an event planning company that does high-end weddings and corporate events. I've been doing White Tent for about 10 years on a part time basis but have several partners that are full time. My primary job with WTE is technical director - sound, lighting, logistics, etc.

Yes, I design but my strength is in business and sales. I've got 5 first class designers that do day-to-day stuff so I can re-invent the customer base. We're looking to triple our business in 18 months.
