Flower Duet’s Corporate Clients

The top­ic of this vir­tu­al Meet-Up is how to get more cor­po­rate flo­ral work. Our busi­ness is divid­ed into many slices of pie (like many florists) and a grow­ing piece of the pie has been cor­po­rate events and cor­po­rate team-build­ing. Once we gain a new client, we’ve been able to keep them over many years which has been fab­u­lous! Some exam­ples of these clients include The NFL, Fablet­ics, Mat­tel, PIH Health and the Los Ange­les Library Foun­da­tion. We’ll offer insights on how to gain more clients like these and grown your piece of “cor­po­rate” pie in your business.
