We have had bloomnet reps here from time to time, just what do you wish to learn if you become a member?
What exactly is your position at Bloomnet?

 

[ssproule]

I was born into the family flower business in 1950 and grew up in the shop. I took over a one store operation in 1970 and grew it to 4 stores. I have been very involved in many facets of the industry and am currently in technology sales with Bloomnet/MAS. I view this as an opportunity to stay in touch with all aspects of the floral business as I do being in contact with Bill Schodowski and his newsletters

 

[ssproule]

Course I read your newsletter religiously! I had visited another chat room earlier that just seemed very negative - towards pretty much everything. Looking forward to staying in touch w/all aspects of the business. Happy Holidays to you and the family

Steve is a great guy and has - for my money - the best mustache in the industry. It's good to see you here Steve.

The thing about WS reps, and I do know Steve... it that the wire service do not allow them to put anything in writing that has any substance to it... so while I do value Steve's opinion on things, sadly he will not be allowed to express it here, or be the mouth piece for Bloomnet/800Flowers even if he agree's with anything we say, or wants to change the industry...or....

Sheesh! That's TOO BAD...we need the OTHER SIDE! Welcome anyway Steve...don't like one-sided conversations all that much tho...

Welcome Steve. Other wire reps aren't able to express much in the way of opposing views, but perhaps the discussions you will see here will make a difference somewhere along the line.
