Smile Opening shop soon, any tips?
Hello, im a young florist, been to college, got 5 years of experience behind me and now im opening my new shop. Just wondering if anyone has any tips?

Im struggling with getting a name which is modern but not too tacky or over the top. Any ideas?

Im on what you could call a High Street (not in city center but not far away), the areas a little shabby but im right opposite a new retail development which attracts a lot of people. Think the area if going to improve within the next few years.

Im a modern/designer style shop. Also selling fascinators and quality cards and gifts.

My favorite flower is Vanda Orchid.

Hope this gives you an idea!

When you say your area is shabby, reminds me of a shop beside my work called Shabby Chic..... Sells gorgeous things ie, candles, rugs, furniture, mirrors etc

What about "Purple Haze"
There are some nice vanda orchids in purple which could be your logo
