Valentine's Day is Over

Valentine's Day is over!! 
It was a day full of action for us at 2 Cool Flowers. 

We had every type of clients. A lot of man who stopped by picking up something special and wanted to give the surprise to the loved ones, other who just called to send flowers because they didn't know what else to give, we also have last minute calls asking the deliver asap since everybody else already had flowers and balloons.... and last but not least the one that call the day after because oops they just forgot about it. They usually asked for more than the regular dozen since the love is so disappointed. 

We also had women interested in giving flowers, what an original way to show the rest that MAN also love to receive flowers.

My husband, who was on the roll of "the delivery guy", told me the story of delivering flowers to a man in his office, as soon as he walked in with this beautiful flower arrangement made on booth vase, all the women turned their heads excited about the unique design and detail this guy just received.

Big smiles, balloons, flowers and LOVE that's what Valentine's Day is all about.... I just hope that next year a lot of costumers think on the possibility of pre-ordering their flowers days before the big day. That way, they won't be any late deliveries, unhappy girls at the offices, and a lot of empty doghouses.... but guess what? This is cycle that never ends, next year it will happen again and WE ARE READY for that and more...

What's next? oh yes, Mother's Day another exciting day for us the florists!!

See you soon my friends...
