Why Woman Love Flowers

No Comments

Try giving a woman a bouquet of red roses and at the very least, you’ll see her crack a grin, even if she’s not the type to gush over the beauty of flowers. Each woman has her own unique personality and there is no universal reason as to why flowers evoke such positive reactions from them. It can be said that it is not so much the flowers themselves but the meaning and thought behind it that makes women giggle like high school teenagers.

Imagine this scene in your mind: you’re in your office doing regular boring chores when out of the nowhere, a friend that you haven’t seen or heard from in a while has a bouquet of one dozen roses delivered to you. In almost all certainty, this is going to make a positive difference in your day. Everything that seemed so important five minutes ago no longer seems so, at least for a few ecstatic moments. Why? Because someone you respect took the time and the effort to let you know that he or she is thinking of you, even if you no longer spend as much time together as you used to. In one flower delivery, so much was said about your friendship and enduring love for each other even of no words where exchanged. This is a magical feeling that very few gifs can evoke.

It’s the meaning of flowers that draws positive responses from people. Every single color and type of flower comes with its own traditional meaning and sentiment – symbolisms that have been developed through time. In fact, roses in particular have their own language. Traditionally speaking, a rosebud means young love or youth, whereas a mature rose symbolizes lasting love or gratitude. White roses can mean that you view the recipient as innocent-and childlike, where a pink rose shows that you are happy and content. We all know that red roses signify true love, but a red rose bud symbolizes a deeper, purer, more passionate love. Many people combine red roses with white roses to give the message of unbreakable unity. These meanings are not often talked about or memorized but for some reason, people understand them perfectly.

To a lot of women, it does not really matter what each color means or what bloom stage a flower stands for. Most of the time people don’t know about the traditional meaning of flowers. Despite this, a lot of women have felt giddy with happiness whenever they receive flowers from their boyfriends, especially if comes delivered as a surprise. It doesn’t matter if one receives a red rose bud or a pink rose in full bloom. The fact that someone took the trouble to send roses as a reminder of his love and affection is enough to keep ladies smiling like a love-struck teenager for the rest of the day.Why

Men Love Flowers Too

There’s not a women in the world that doesn’t love receiving flowers. And, the dirty little secret is that men privately love receiving them as well!

So, with both women and men loving flowers, when was the last time you sent flowers to a patient or center of influence?

Imagine the impact you would have on a patient when they receive a bouquet from your office… at their place of employment. How could they not gush about their chiropractor?

Flowers transcends all age groups. One of your patient’s kid wins a championship… send flowers to the kid with your congratulations. WOW… getting closer to a patient for life!

A center of influence… doctor, attorney, business leader, wins an award of makes a presentation or send you a referral… send flowers!

L love getting flowers. I wish I got them more often! When was the last time you received flowers? How did you feel? If you haven’t received any flowers… how does that make you feel?

Sending flowers to some deserving your recognition is surprise marketing at its best. When you surprise someone, you bring a smile to their face and you make an emotional connection, which build your relationship.

And, when you do something nice for someone, the Law of Reciprocity kicks in. The recipient feels an innate obligation to return the favor. Does a referral come to mind?

You can send flowers on their birthday… to the office! You can send on their anniversary… wedding and patient. You can send to the hospital if they are suffering. You can send to your employee… at their home. You can send each time you get a referral from a patient or center of influence.

There are literally a bunch of events that could trigger sending flowers.

Floral Enhancement

You can contact local florists and let them know what you have in mind and seek a discount. This is a good time to suggest a floral arrangement in your office, with a placard denoting them as your official florist.

If you have a patient loyalty plan, you could suggest the florist become a marketing alliance partner and participate in your program to encourage your patients to use his shop.

You can have a variation of arrangements for price points and gender of the recipient. Avoid traditional “love” flowers as that is not the emotion you are seeking to create!

Add the Bling

Once you have established a budget and arrangement specifications, it’s time to “brand” your floral arrangement.

Add a branded note card that will be attached to each arrangement. You can dictate the message or have standard messages that are selected when you order the arrangement.

We are not done yet. This is the ultimate “branding.” Provide the florist with laser-etched branded glass vases! Yes, you can get some really nice vases and have your brand/logo etched into the vase for that over-the-top positioning.

Picture it. A florist delivers an arrangement to a patient… at work… along with your “branded” notecard and then they spot your logo etched on the vase! That’s not only a “surprise” but a WOW!

Your thoughtfulness will be remembered every time they re-use your vase!

Peak your practice with flowers.

Focus on Style with Replacement Windows

No Comments

Finding the right replacement windows involves lots of research and discussions with contractors. How can you narrow your options and find the best replacement windows for your home?

Styles New and Old
One important place to start is with the window style. As you narrow down replacement window styles, look at your existing windows and the architectural elements of your home. Take special note of the sizes and shapes, as well as how the window opens and closes.

Older homes often have double-hung windows, which have interior and exterior sashes that slide vertically. Newer houses might have casement windows that feature large areas of clear glass and typically open outward. Each creates a different architectural effect and changes the overall look of your home remodeling project.

Replacement: Merging Window Styles
If you are buying replacement windows for a room addition, look for a style that blends with your existing windows. The window can be larger or smaller, but should carry through the same shape, trim, and accents.

The details of the window also should be a factor. If you have windows with a divided light pattern, those details should carry through to the replacement windows. This will show consistency and make the room addition appear to be part of the original house.

Talk to a Contractor
Some houses have a mix of styles, which makes remodeling tricky. The best bet is to talk with a window contractor about which replacement window style more closely blends with the house. The contractor would look at the architectural style, the roof lines, exterior materials, and other features.

The style of your replacement windows can have a big affect on the overall look of the home. Talk with your contractor early in the process to ensure you are focusing on the right style for your housing design.

You use flower arrangements for the special occasions in your life such as a party, a wedding rehearsal or wedding reception, or a welcome home party or a baby shower. Flower arrangements add that special touch to a room that makes you know something wonderful is happening. Why not add that special feeling to your home at other times? You can now purchase flower arrangements on line from sites such as Teleflora. You know you have a huge selection of arrangements and your flowers will arrive when you want them. Ordering your flowers on line will guarantee that. If they are for a party, you want them there just before the party so they are fresh and will last; if you are ordering them to decorate your home, perhaps you want them on Friday afternoon so you can enjoy them all weekend when the family is around.

In addition to floral arrangements, Teleflora offers other gifts of this nature on line. You can have flowers in vases, plants in pots, or combinations of flowers and plants. If you shop on line, you can browse through the many arrangements they offer, or you can design your own arrangement. If you pick from their on line catalog, you can be sure you will be sending the exact arrangement you see before you on the screen. And of course, they will arrive fresh and on time.

If you are ordering flowers for a party at your home, you can choose an arrangement that will match the theme of the party. Perhaps spring bulbs to match a spring garden party, or if it is a baby shower, you can get a floral arrangement of pink and blue flowers. Flowers make the perfect central accent to build your party theme around. Get a number of arrangements in matching or similar colors and place them on the main table, in the entrance hall, or, if you have company staying over, in the guest rooms. In addition to looking beautiful, flowers add a lovely scent to the home.

The reason that arrangements from Teleflora are so fresh and last so long is that they are arranged when you order them, not before. If you are planning wedding events, such as the shower, the reception or the rehearsal dinner, you can order the flowers in advance and have them delivered on the exact day you need them. Choose a coordinating flower, such as tulips for each event, but in different colors, or choose different flowers such as yellow tulips for the springtime bridal shower and yellow roses for the summer wedding! Once you see the incredible range of choices you have from Teleflora, and know that you can have flowers fresh and on time any time you want them, you will become a customer.
