How many of your customers come in or phone up especially to say thankyou?

Ive found it really does vary between shops.

The one i own now is unbelieveable....they come in about one a day, which is very nice, but others ive worked at you wont see someone for weeks

Funny you should ask that. Twas only this afternoon a sweet ol lady came in with a boxed 'celebration rich fruit cake'. Something for us to have before we departed and to thank us for looking after her all these years.

arr thats lovely we do get quite a few in to say thankyou and i have to say we get more thank yous than compaints haven't had one in ages think last one was vals day over some roses were dead she brought them in and said they died by a couple of days the thing was they were still going but you know what they are like i just smiled sweetly and showed her what to do if heads start to drop
I had a lady from a wedding ring me up the monday after to conraulate me on the stunning flowers and she said shewould recommend us to everyone she knew and they weren't from my town so was well chuffed with that

I'm on my way fly2hi - I love fruit cake.

They tend to walk in and say 'I bought some flowers from you last week...' you think 'oh s***, here we go' and then they say how pleased they were. Its always nice especially when you are a new shop and all the old customers are miserable gits and don't like change.

i know what you mean Alice its god! whats wrong with them heart jumps in the throat waiting the response when you say YES and........ oh thankyou thats really nice oh yes thanks ......thew thank god for that!!!!

know exactly what you mean potty and alice.. and i have those awkward old customers too they kind who ask how much your lilies and and then they say sweetly 'oh is that for three?' er.. no £4.50...for one. They have never been in threes or 1.50 each..and shes absolutely wedged, lives in a huge mansion that is a pain in the arse to deliver to, cos she had two sets of gates and has to get her man servant to let the driver in each time!
