Well, Mothers Day is behind us. That's good and bad, it would be nice to have a couple more weeks like that this summer. The best news is from most of the retail Florists I have talked to, sales were down a little but not as much as expected. The average order $$ amount was down in most cases about 10% but the # of orders was up.

With the wedding season on us remember to place your orders with us two weeks in advance to insure the best quality and availability PLUS  receive a 10% DISCOUNT for ordering early. That's 10% right off the top in your pocket. I recommend you do not pass this savings on to your customer, price their cost from your original cost before the discount. This will make you additional profits, as we all know the profit margin on weddings is usually not enough.

A PERSONAL THANK YOU  to Cindy Kelly at Valley Pacific Floral!!!!! Cindy is not a Frank Adams customer (we need to work on that) but she single handily got the Oregon State Legislature to make it illegal for order gathers to advertise in the Yellow Pages misrepresenting themselves as local Florists. This is a huge help to all Retail Florists in Oregon. If you would like to give her a call to thank her, her number is 503-981-1702.
