Tips for your Card Messages of Appreciation

One of the questions we get asked regularly is for help crafting the right message to be delivered with their flowers. Sometimes when you're flowing in a different creative direction, or deep into a task, the intention is there, and the words just aren't coming. Having someone to brainstorm with really makes a difference. 

Recently, I was introduced to The Brand Boy's small business blog, particularly this article about notes of appreciation. It's really great to be reminded and supported to be in gratitude and to take action on it.

Business Gratitude:

Sharing appreciation with clients, referral partners, vendors and team members builds long-term trust and strong relationships. 

As I talk with our floral clients on the phone, I've gotten into the habit of  saying, 'Thank you for choosing to buy flowers from us and support local. It means so much to our whole team.'

Here are a few of our favorite messages from The Brand Boy:

• Thank you very much for keeping our product the number one brand in town. We cannot achieve this success without you as our customer.
• We are truly grateful to you for choosing us as your service provider and giving us the opportunity to grow. Thank you very much for everything. 
• Thank you for being a part of our journey and for believing in us all through these years.

• I’m delighted to tell you that you have now been our customer for a whole year. We would just like to say thank you for being a part of our family.

Personal Gratitude:

• You deserve a lifetime of happiness for the joy you have brought into our lives
• In the garden of life you are the fairest of flowers - you bring so much to us and to so many - thank you!
• You've been a sweet fragrance in our lives!
• What a joy to go through life with you (or living next to you, or worshipping with you, or doing scouts with you) - you make the world a better place everywhere you show up.

 Romantic Gratitude:

Who better to show gratitude to and even write notes of appreciation for, than our significant other? We're so impressed with the note-writing skills of some of our romance clients - flowers and flowery language (or just plain creativity) go so well together! Here are a few recents:

• Happy anniversary darling!  We have laughed and loved through easy times, and there is no one I'd rather be with during these difficult times.  I love you!
• I love you more today than I did yesterday, And I will love you more tomorrow than I do today. 
• I'm so grateful to be with you and share in your wisdom, kindness, beauty and love. My heart and love are always with you...

Along this same line of appreciation, and because we all want life to be simpler and more beautiful, we have 5 different ways we can support you.
