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.

Totally with you on the funeral front lou! Unless its friends or regular customers I just dont seem to get much of a look in! Ill be two years open in July, not a big town, but still very surprised at the amount of people that don't know im here - Ive done adds in local paper, local internet site etc...
