“Fall Fanfare”

‘Tis the season…. Well, maybe not THE season although it is not far off! However, autumn begins in most customers minds as soon as Labor Day is over. Depending in which area of the country one may reside, autumn brings a plethora of opportunities for great sales.

Many communities offer festivals and community events. These are fantastic opportunities to make your business visible and show your community support. Most people like to patronize businesses from their own cities. Capitalize on this community spirit for future sales opportunities.

Community organizations are always in need of speakers for Chamber of Commerce functions as well as church and other civic organizations. They are open for new and exciting presentations. A few phone calls could open many new doors for potential clients. Consider a short half hour program featuring the Celebrations of the Season featuring Florabundance product.

Beautiful orange Roses paired with Mango Callas, Safari Sunset Leucadendron and textural Millet for some interest would make a stunning combination for the home or office.

Spider Gerbera have that hairy look that is perfect for a Halloween styling. Gerbera, Kangaroo Paw, Hypericum and Curly Willow would be a perfect for a party celebration.

Since many of fall colors tend to be found on the warm side of the color wheel, remember to contrast the reds, oranges and golds with lime green, blues and violet for exciting color contrast. Blue Hydrangeas, violet Liatris, violet Statice and Atriplex are but a few options for adding the color impact. Ornamental grasses and interesting foliages also provide contrast and visual interest. Fresh Wheat adds a fall feel when bundled and displayed either upright or horizontal.

Cattails, Lilies Sunflowers, Solidago and Pin Cushion’s are always a welcome addition to Autumn arrangements. With so many choices, it’s best to get started now before the season runs out and there are still many flowers and foliages to enjoy!
