We were so excit­ed to be on the Slow Flow­ers Mem­ber Meet-Up as the spe­cial guests. The top­ic was how to “Attain, Grow and Main­tain Cor­po­rate Clients for Flower Jobs.” We made a slide show fea­tur­ing our top tips on sim­ple ways to attract more clients in the cor­po­rate world as well as exam­ples of jobs we’ve done for clients such as Mat­tel, PIH Health and BMW.

As mem­bers of Slow Flow­ers, we help edu­cate our stu­dents on where their flow­ers come from and how to pur­chase more flow­ers that are local­ly grown. We offer ser­vices to clients to use only local­ly grown flow­ers when request­ed, too.
