We have been very busy over the last few weeks getting new designs, styles and images together for our new design guide which gets sent out to all of our 2000 local florists. This is a good way of ensuring that we establish continuity in the creation of all of our bouquets. Because we send out such a high volume of bouquets every day, quality control is essential and the design guide is an effective way of doing this.
The photoshoots are always really good fun, a mass of creative minds trying to decide which bouquet should go on the window sill and which basket should sit by the mantel piece. (oh, the choices!)
You , as the customer, get to see the completed image on the website in all of it’s glory but, what you’ve never seen is what goes on behind the scenes, and all of the hard work that goes into developing the perfect shot.
So, we thought, now we are back to using our blog to engage with our customers and give them sneak peeks of what life is like here at iflorist HQ and what goes on as the cogs are turning behind sustaining the brand and its processes – why not let them into one of the most important dates in our calender – photo day!
Now this is one hurdle if you like in a very long process. It usually starts with us all sat around a table, thinking where do we start, what flowers, arrangements and collections do we want to feature?
Once all of the shots are taken .. well that’s another story that we will tell you all about in a few blog posts to come, but, this is the stage we are at now…. Enjoy!
All finished off with a good old ‘Fuzzy Duck’ latte and yummy salad! What a good day…
