Fresh Perspectives
Florissant, Missouri co-brand - Mick Samuelson Flowerama #160
• When the 1800flowers|Flowerama awnings and signs changed on my store-front, so did the attitudes of both my staff and my customers, not to mention my outlook. • We also put a lot of work into painting new colors and cleaning up the store. • We were already proud of what we were accomplishing, but to hear customers tell us how much “richer” and “nicer” the store looks, gives us a larger sense of pride. • Mostly I am excited by the increase in sales we have seen. • Mick has now signed up receive 1-800-Flowers.com incoming orders and is looking forward the sales gains that will bring as well.
