l always wanted to open a flower shop.
Franchising made it possible for me to go into business I always
dreamed of having . I had
no business experience and would never have described myself
as creative, but I always was good with colour.
I needed someone to walk me through the business. All Seasons
Flowers seemed an excellent opportunity.
Naturally,
I felt buying my first shop was a risk, so before committing myself
I spoke to all the franchisees. Their feedback was very positive
so I plunged straight in. The Franchisors are totally
upfront and deliver on every promise.
When
I first started I had three weeks training in other stores learning
the basics from early morning to cashup. When my
store first opened, someone from All Seasons Flowers visited me
every day to see that everything was running smoothly. Setting
up the till, processing stock, pricing flowers, making up orders
to cash handling and keeping books - it was all new to me back
then. But All Seasons Flowers are phenomenal with training and
on-going support.
'Best
of all, I love going to work. Displaying the flowers is a major
issue and I always look forward to the lovely environment. It's
huge on colour and fragrance.'
