Welcome to April!

Welcome to April, Floralpreneur!

What’d you do this weekend? Work? Spend time with family or friends? I had a mix of both.

I spent Sunday celebrating my son’s 5th birthday, which gave me one full-day for family,

but on Saturday I fell into a project I KNEW I had to tackle, but simply did not think I had the time for; I finally updated my testimonials page on my website.

Sounds pretty B-O-R-I-N-G, I know, but reviewing testimonials is actually really fun.

(it’s a great opportunity to hop onto your website, and do some quick updates!)

 

You’ve probably heard me talk about the importance of gathering more client testimonials

and using your testimonials to attract more ideal clients,

but If you missed my free download “How to get more testimonials”,

CLICK HERE to get the free pdf today.


Once you get more testimonials, what will you do with them?

Client testimonials can tell you a lot about yourself, your business, and your brand, but they also tell other customers exactly what they need to know about working with you.

I also highly suggest you re-read your testimonials a couple of times every year, as well as any time you’re feeling “down” or  find yourself “struggling in the off season”!

 

A good read through of your testimonials and online reviews can be a great ego boost!

 

Reflect on the good work you’ve done and get yourself pumped up to exceed those standards year after year.

We can never stop learning and improving our customer service experience!

Once you gather reviews from your clients, put them on your website! Use them!

 

The reviews that describe what it was like to work with you most recently, can be powerful tools to add to your website.

This April is about giving back!

 

April is my birthday month, as well as my grandmother’s, so to honor her memory this year

I’m donating 10% of ALL COURSE SALES for the month of April to the Vermont Foodbank (and in honor of my son’s birthday, I’m including sales from the last 2 days of March as well!)

 

Every $1=3 meals, so even a little bit of giving goes a long way!

 

Find my course offerings HERE!

Oh, and have a look at my new Testimonials Page HERE to see what other florists have to say about my courses!

 

Thanks, as always, for reading!

Keep
doing
beautiful
work!
With love from me to you,
Alison​​​​​​​​​​​​​​
