It’s Cold, It’s Wet, Take Advantage of it 
For those of us in the East , Great Lakes region, and the Midwest, the past couple of weeks have been a bear–weatherwise.  Snow (up to ten feet in Oswego, NY), Sleet (70 car pile up on a Pennsylvania highway), and Ice (so thick the Salt trucks have been mostly ineffective).  And, they just announced another Major Winter Storm in these parts for tomorrow.  Add to all that the frigid temperatures and its enough to make a grown person cry.

You’re Not the Only One 
Now if this weather is frustrating to us, you can bet your aspidistra that it is just as frustrating to your clients.   We all long for Spring.  A fragrant flower, a hint of blue sky, sure could make our day bright.  How to do this?  How to give the gift of Spring to your clients?  I’m so glad you asked.  Just stop and think.  Your favorite blooming plant supplier has on his benches, even as we speak, hundreds of itsy-bitsy pots of blooming mini daffodils.  Drop these into mini speed covers or wrap in green foil, add your business card, and drop off at your contact’s office.  Talk about making someone smile, talk about making a good impression!

Don’t Let this Opportunity Pass You By  
Techs could drop them off as they do regular maintenance so no special delivery is neccessary.  Cost is minimal as well.  On the other hand, impact is great.  And, if you want to make even more of a splash, consider buying leftover Valentine’s Day blooming plants and using those.  Either way, small daffodils or large potted bloomers, you’ll be a hero.  Just as the first robin means Spring is here, so does a colorful, live, blooming plant.

Now go out there and get ‘em, Tiger.
