no love on valentine's day for florists...

:

As a florist, this valentine's day has become the perfect storm for disappointing sales.... the economy is terrible, valentine's day is on a saturday so people tend to go to restaurants instead (no one to impress at the office with a flower delivery) and it is a long weekend for many people so many choose to go on a weekend getaway. Adding to this, my own studio has an extra challenge with a telephone issue- I switched providers last week and my number was supposed to port over to the new provider, however it got bungled and as a result I had no working number for days until verizon finally agreed to change the message so it didn't say it was disconnected.
