Do you ever track how many hours you spend trying to craft “the perfect e-mail”?
E-mail is a crucial part of your customer service experience,
but I’ll admit, I had no idea how much time I’d spend in front of my computer when I started my floral design business over 20 years ago!
I often send the same basic e-mails over and over again throughout the wedding season, so after more than a decade spent perfecting my sales and booking process I created 12 E-mail Templates for Florists with some of my most frequent (& sometimes tricky!) conversations, as well as 10 Tough Conversations Made Easier so that you won’t have to agonize over what to say to clients anymore.

Templates Save You Time.
I provide a personal experience for each client, however, as commander-in-chief of my one-woman business it’s important that I streamline my systems whenever possible. (Cue the templates!)
You can customize your own e-mail templates by modifying the language and phrasing provided in my templates. Simply create an e-mail folder for your most commonly used conversations, then, copy, paste into a new e-mail and adjust as needed to suit your client!
Florists often tell me they use these e-mail templates the same day they buy them! Copy, paste, rinse, repeat!

I know you can take these templates and add your own unique spin to reflect the voice of your brand.
It’s essential to command professional and clear communication in a world where websites serve as storefronts and e-mail is the first form of contact with a potential client.
At times we have to “get tough” and explain the rules, set boundaries, handle late payments or simply say “no”.

More from Alison:
For YEARS I found myself struggling with how to tell someone I couldn’t hold their date without a deposit,…or firmly explain that I will not reduce my price,… or how to strike a balance on how “tough” to *really* get when requesting a payment that’s overdue.
The reality of modern-day customer service is this: E-mail is a critical form of client communication; it’s how they get to know you!
Your customers can’t see your facial expressions or interpret your “tone”… so it’s critical that every word you choose is meaningful and accurate.
But it takes so much time to craft the perfect reply, right?!!
It took years to hone my voice so it felt professional, authentic and clear.
So let me ask you a question…
Do your e-mails increase your authority, grow trust with your clients, and make them feel well cared for?
What if you could…
- Feel CONFIDENT when explaining your terms to a client,
- Forget FEARS about not being taken seriously,
- Gain AUTHORITY as you build trust with your prompt, concise replies,
- Make stronger CONNECTIONS so your customers can actually understand your expectations,
- Increase the INCOME you’ll be able to generate when you state your minimums clearly so clients say YES to your next proposal, no questions asked!
Confidence. Authority. Connections. Income.
… Do you want these things in your business?
THEN START…
- Confidently establishing your authority…
- Boldly claiming your role as the leader your clients need you to be…
- Seamlessly building trust with clients who “get you”…
AND STOP…
- staring at your computer screen searching for the “right thing to say”…
- wondering if you’ll ever hear back from a prospect…
- feeling like your clients are in the driver’s seat….

I have a limited number of dates available and in the peak wedding season I’m splitting time between my laptop & my workbench, which is when my time feels especially precious.
I’ve been perfecting my personal approach over the last 17 years to maintain a professional voice while being 100% clear to my customers regarding policies, deposits, final payments, and budget requirements.
I hope you’ll try my templates and I hope you’ll love ’em!
