Hi guys..............
Just a quick one regarding flowers in City Centres reception desks...........
Have you found it easier getting customers/clients by going in and asking who deals with your flowers or phoning for the relevant person who deals with them? Just wonderd what your luck has been?

Many work on the basis of your preceeding reputation, and outstanding previous work done, mostly through word of mouth. A lot do not take kindly to cold calling...

It's a hard nut to crack. Like you Clownfish, I find it a very difficult market to get into, so any advice out there guys would be great. Thanks for the imput Chris.

I have found that going in and chatting works sometimes, ask if they are really happy with what they have at present and whether they would consider changing. Then offer them a free sample matching the cost of what they have at present, as most places have a budget and stick to it, delivering it soon after the current corporate has been delivered for that week. Otherwise leave a business card for the person who is responsible for ordering and follow it up with a call later.
