Great and supportive comments but I dissagree with getting rid your name. My opinion is that you are the main man in your business and right now your business is about you so let them know who you are and another plus point is women love a male florist (sorry but they do) so get yourself out there. All the big names in London, Jane Packer, Paula Pryke, Matthew Dickenson and Zita Elise all go by their names and love them or hate them they get alot of work.

Bit strong Floreo.........not everyone has the god given right to good sense
Never mind good sense - it's good taste we're after!

And anyway, I like shoving a sharp pointy stick in the hornets' nest!!

Using your own name and a business name is confusing. You should go with one or the other.

I agree with that, those London florists cited trade only under the own names, there's no business name as well.

You'll be glad to be anonymous soon enough Jake, when everyone and his dog wants a piece of you

Branding is something I've spent a good part of my career on. Don't confuse the customer with too much to take in..pick your business name or you personal name not both on this type of advertisement. Also be sure to go to a quality vinyl shop. There is a world of difference in quality and I've seen bad jobs start to crack and peel before the end of 12 months.
