Welcome

Welcome to our first blog here at Fitz Design. One comment I want to make first is it is our goal that this blog is interactive - yes that means you participate also. We want to hear from you,
your thoughts
your ideas
your suggestions
your design ideas
Well, I think you get the point.

Now that prom season is beginning to get started, we are focused on creating success. We have spent a lot of time visiting with florists across the country and assembled some great marketing and sales tips.

Over the next few days I will start listing some of them here.

So let's start with the first one - Do you have a plan?
Do you know how many corsages you sell?
What is your average selling price?
Do you have a training plan for your staff?
How many corsages do you want to sell?
What do you want your average sale to be?

Planning is the key to everything. I often comment, there is a real difference between a plan and a goal.

The goal comes first, what would like it to be? Is it an increase in sales? profits? customers?

Then now that you have your goal, what are the steps you need to take to make it happen. Remember, no one thing is going to cause you to hit your goal. It will need to be a plan that is has a number of elements to it.

Just like building a house - you want windows, walls, floors and don't forget the ceiling.

Make your prom plan as detailed. Look at all the little things you can do that contribute to your goal.

Then, keep coming back and checking with us about new ideas that will help you continue to be successful in your prom season.

Until next time..................
