Exciting Changes At TCU Florist

At TCU Florist we are always thinking of new ways to better serve our customers. We are really excited to announce some new things that will be happening over the summer!!!
In the next couple months we will be able to alert you by email that your statement is ready for viewing. All you will have to do is go to our website and click on My Account. From there you can view your statement and your invoices. I'm hoping eventually you will be able to pay them online as well. This will be so convenient for everyone and help our environment!
Pay Pal has now been added to our website. Many people find Pay Pal more convenient and safer than other methods of payment. This should make for some very happy customers!
Market is this week and I can't wait to go shopping for the latest trends! I'll be looking for unique containers and gift items, as well as Fall and Christmas items. So keep a look out on Facebook where you will see them first.
Speaking of Facebook, I have always been a big believer that Facebook is a great way to engage our customers and form relationships with them. At the beginning of summer, I asked Tom if I could reach 1000 fans could I throw a party for them. He said yes! So hoping I didn't stick my foot in my mouth, we will be throwing a party in September. This will be a super fun event with a showcasing of new items, our updated show room, future holiday specials, give aways, food and more.

Pass Bouquets, A New Trend

Pass bouquets are flower arrangements that are shared by a group of people, For example, someone may purchase an arrangement for an office. Each person gets to keep it at his or her desk for a set period of time. That way, everyone enjoys the flowers.
These bouquets are fun gifts from office managers to their staffs. Or from one employee to another. Some offices even pool funds and purchase a pass bouquet to share each week. It's an inexpensive and fun way for everyone's day to be brightened by flowers.
Print up cute cards that can be sent out with the arrangements. perhaps: "Please keep these beautiful flowers at your desk for the next hour. Then pass them on as a gift from you to someone else. Be sure to share these instructions with the person to whom you pass the bouquet." - Teleflora

What a fun idea to bring excitement to an office while on a budget!!!

TCU Florist In The Community

TCU Florist is proud to be a part of the Fort Worth Community. The people and businesses of Fort Worth have been so good to us throughout the years that when we have a chance to give back, we jump on it! Though we do a lot of donations, it's always exciting when we can physically go out into the community to do something fun. This week our designer, Marianne Mullen, visited South Hills Elementary School for career day. Marianne has been with us for 25 years and is our premier wedding and funeral designer. The last two years she has visited with the South Hill's students, teaching them the ins and outs of floral design. The 110 fourth graders learned how to make Sunflower faces this year! Marianne also talked about the different types of flowers and where they are grown. Each child received a flower to take home as well. It was a fun filled day, but what made it most rewarding was when a young girl told Marianne she "wanted to be a florist when she grows up because it looks like fun!" Well, who wouldn't have fun and love this job? :)
