Florist News

Those of you offering artificials and gift trade along with your fresh flowers quick heads up...Sharpes (or S.O.L. Imports) have gone out of business and will not be delivering any xmas orders placed with them.

Those of you who might be short of a supplier due to this look up 'Artificial Images' many of the reps who worked for Sharpes have gone there (as well as the original founders of the company who sold the business a couple of yrs ago)

Now that is forward planning

Well for artificial stuff generally you place the orders in Jan...obv they are in liquidation and need the stock to pay off the bills!

JAn.. for Xmas ? That really is forward planning.........

You must be minted Dixon would scare the shit out of me to tie up that kind of money for 11 months and doing nothing.

Not minted, just know what my custs will buy...know their styles and order appropriately...plus if it doesn't sell this year it will eventually...my family business has been going for over 25yrs and still here on the high street so must be doing something right! But over that time we know what our custs will go for...

Thanks for info and looked up there website. Can you tell me are their silk flowers really good quality - nervous about trying the unknow. Thanks
