Ok, there seems to be a lot of us on here who have recently opened new (not taken over existing) florists.

How long, for all you 'been there done that's' and had the shop a good few years, would you say it was until you felt that the shop was well known in your area and became a major player with people considering to get flowers.

I feel that i am getting there with gift bq's after 6 months, still really slow on funeral stuff. I still have people who drive past every day come in and say 'how long you been here, never noticed you before' even though my shop is quite large and the front display is quite big as well.
