Reasons why you should use a proper florist...
I had a customer in this morning, her staff ordered three 'aqua' bouquets from an internet florist (am not sure who as yet) and this is how they turned up...

Nice, huh?! She was shocked to hear they turned up with Amtrak too, she assumed they'd be delivered as bouquets and not all packed up in a cardboard box.

I had something similar happen the other day when a customer came into the shop with a posy made by another florist locally - it was shockly bad! She had the cheek to ask me to 'fix' it, I told her to go back to the florist it came from and complain, she said they were closed. She then asked me to cover it with cello to which I told her it would still look the same, after a lot of huffing and puffing she finally agreed to me making her a basket. I know it is not the fault of the customer but they have some cheek going into a shop where they didn't even place the order and asked for it to be 'fixed' - believe me this was beyond repair!
I think I was more shocked that she walked into the shop for the whole world to see, I was mortified at the thought that people thought I had made it!!!
Would any of you offer to 'fix' someone elses work??

NO and yes anyone seeing entering or leaving your shop can only come to the conclusion that it is your work I would have said no to the cello 'But I can gift wrap it very nicely in a lovely designer black bin bag with handles if you would like that'
