Administrative Professionals Day, Wed April 27th

Attn: All boss's
Re: Administrative Professional's Day

To whom it may concern,

This Wednesday is Administrative Professional's Day. This is a day when you let your assistants know what a great help they are to you and that without them you would not shine. "How do you do this?", you may ask yourself. Well, as your local florist, I am here to help.

There are several ways you can "honor" your assistant.
1. Lunch. Even though you probably do this more than just once a year anyways. (kinda lame..you can do better!)
2. Coffee and a thank you card. Need I say more? This is the person that keeps your calendar organized, manages your travel plans, sets up conference calls, manages others, and clears your desk..and all you're gonna do is coffee and a thank you card. (lame!)
3. The best one of all would be the first two AND a bouquet of flowers from Capitol Hill Flowers in Seattle. This would be a great way of saying "thank you". Coffee and lunch are gone in a day, but the flowers will be around for more than a week! A great reminder of how much your assistant is appreciated by you.

So, I urge you to give us a call: 206-325-5068 or order online: www.flower4gift.com Not only do we have the freshest flowers in Seattle and the BEST designers, but we also have balloons (administrative professional day mylars), chocolates, and Thank You cards!!

Sincerely,
Your local Seattle Florist,
Capitol Hill Flowers

Thanksgiving Flowers; Give Thanks with Flowers

What is Thanksgiving? If you look it up online, you'll find a variety of answers, which can be very confusing. I read all I could about this Holiday and I'm sure many of us have very fond memories of family and friends coming together during this time of year. Of course, you hear the horror stories of what can happen when you get family and friends together as well. But, I think that what it comes down to is this: What is Thanksgiving to you?

For me, it's a beautiful day of warmth and kindness that seems to be getting overlooked more & more with every passing year. Retailers put a lot into Halloween and then the day after Halloween, WHAM! There's Christmas!! Whoa...what happened to Thanksgiving?!

What's happening to a Holiday where you can gather with your friends and family and honestly give thanks?! Thanks that you have them in your life. Thanks that you've survived another year. Thanks that you have the life you have. Thanks that you have the things you have.

What a better way to say "Thanks" or show thanks, than with a beautiful bouquet of flowers?! Did you know that "the presence of flowers triggers happy emotions, heightens feelings of life satisfactions, and affects social behavior in a positive manner..."? (Study conducted by Rutgers)

Capitol Hill Flowers isn't like most retailers. Our Christmas decor isn't out yet. We're savor each holiday and provide our clients with the best flowers available. Whether you choose to do a cornocopia, a centerpiece or a wrapped floral bouquet this Thanksgiving, we've got you covered! You can call us: 206-325-5068, order online, or stop by our store: 300 15th Ave E, Seattle, WA 98112. We're always happy to see you and ensure that you give Thanks to those around you this Thanksgiving!

Flower Delivery? Where do you need it to go?

So here you are, searching the net for a florist that delivers in the area you need. You may ask yourself a few different questions.
1. Are they local? Yes. We are local. Locally owned and operated, by a fab husband and wife team. We are located in the Capitol Hill neighborhood of Seattle, BUT we deliver to ALL Seattle metro and surrounding areas. That means that if you want a delivery made around the corner or around the world, our flower shop can do it! From South Seattle to Lake City, Kenmore to Bothell, Shoreline to Edmonds, Kirkland to Bellevue, Clyde Hill to Mercer Island, these are the places your local Seattle Florist delivers to.

2. Do they deliver that far? How far? We have a team of florists all over the country/world that we work with to make sure that your Aunt in Tim-buck-to gets flowers. There may be some places we can't get to, none of which I have discovered yet in my 15 years doing this job.

3. If I pick a pic online, will it look the same? The answer: yes and no. This is a tricky situation. Most of your big sending online places (FTD.com, Bloomstoday.com, 1800flowers.com) will show you this fantastic pic of flowers. They'll collect the order and then send it to a florist that's affiliated with them in that delivery area. From there, the florist gets the order and fills the order to value. Meaning: You see a gorgeous floral bouquet online for $29.99, nice and full with tons of flowers. The local florist cannot fill the order as pictured, as they are only receiving 65%-73% of the total $29.99 and have to eat the delivery fee (last time I checked, gas wasn't free..neither was the delivery driver), so we do the best we can, but often times, your bouquet will be small, have similar colors and flowers, but will not look like their pic. Sorry. We do try, but we encourage our clients to order direct, this way, you will get something filled to the price you paid and is usually 10x prettier than anything they pictured. Plus, you're supporting a local family. This is not just a job, this is our life. Every day, we come to our shop, waiting to help you deliver sunshine to your corner of the world, whever that may be. Feel free to give us a call: 206-324-8845 or visit us online.
