Business Q&A: Flowerbox Gifts, Northglenn - The Denver Post

Employees: 1Interview with Tanys de Mesa, ownerQ: How did you get involved in this business?A: It was kind of a hidden talent. When I was 19, I started working with a florist at Albertson’s, and she taught me some basic things, and then I took it and ran. I left there and started working with another florist at her flower shop until I decided to open my own. It’s one of those things that you don’t know you can do until you try it, like a cake decorator who’s never decorated a cake before.Q: What distinguishes you from other businesses in your category?A: We offer a much more customized experience than larger, corporate flower shops because, with us, flower arrangements are artwork. We treat every piece like art instead of something routine or regular, and I have a lot of things that you can’t get anywhere else in terms of quality and originality for both flowers and gifts.Q: What do you like best about your line of work?A: I get to express my creativity and I usually get to make somebody’s day while doing it. I don’t have they type of job where you deliver bad news to people. I always make them happy and there’s nothing better than that.Q: What is your business’ biggest challenge?A: I’m a perfectionist and I don’t like to disappoint my customers. I guess the biggest challenge is always meeting everyone’s expectations inc... http://www.denverpost.com/2017/04/11/flowerbox-gifts-northglenn/
