Florist News

Hi there

I need help from as many florists around the UK as possible and as long as Admin doesn't mind I'd like to include you all as well as my magazine team of florists.

You see I'm doing a whole series on pricing and one of things I want to take into account is regional variances on flower costs and labour charges.

To achieve this I've attached a PDF of the designs (fairly low res I'm afraid to fit) and below listed the complete list of contents by stem count and sundries.

If you are up for doing it, what I would really appreciate is everyone and anyone who owns/works in a shop to copy the list into a Word doc, fill in the prices they'd charge a customer ordering it from their shop - add in the labour element if applicable and explanations and send it back to deborah@thewordhouse.co.uk. including your name and addresse

Because while the results will be analysed and published in the mag, as a thank you everyone that helps us, we will give away a bottle of champagne to the first 12 out of the hat.

Kind regards,

Carrington

Will be happy to help, will complete in next few days, do we get to see the results???

I've noticed that too, plus there's no oasis & tape accounted for - so i've just added an extra line in myself.
