FIORE florist grew business out of grit and hustle - Pensacola News Journal

At 26 years old, she took everything she had to the Big Apple — $1,000 and a couch — and gave herself a month to make it. She soon found a job working as an interior florist in the Carlyle Hotel. Pallin and one other employee were responsible for servicing the entire luxury hotel with arrangements and helping with party planning. For two years, she worked events for hotel guests such as fashion designers Calvin Klein and Diane von Furstenberg, as well as planned hotel parties where other celebrities would attend, including entertainer Eartha Kitt and many others. New York was a “make it or break it” experience for Pallin, but she says because she was on her own she learned more and persistently asked for help. She found more freelancing opportunities and was soon helping to produce television design shows for the likes of star hosts Martha Stewart and Katie Brown. More: Celebrating with Flowers Thrilled with her success, Pallin had no real interest in moving back to Pensacola where her mother now lived again. However, during a visit home for Mardi Gras she met her husband, Tim Pallin, and never went back to New York. She continued to travel to the Big Apple for freelance jobs but eventually decided to combine her passion for design with her entrepreneurial spirit and open a business in Pensacola. She started FIORE at 35, when she was pregnant with the first of her two children. “I guess I just had a lot of drive,” Pallin explains with a smile. “Florists weren’t as hip then as they are now. My passion was for designing and I had to learn how to run a business. Twenty-two years later, I don’t see myself doing anything else in the future.” Pallin’s team of 10 employees includes one man and the rest are women, several who have been with her for years. They work together around the tables in the Design Room and also in the field preparing for someone’s special occasion. Sometimes the work can be stressful, juggling deadlines and the emotional needs of customers who want flowers for everything from weddings to funerals, but they all work as a team to help customers feel like friends and family. Many stop by just to visit the staff while they work on designs in the shop. Dropping in at FIORE is like stopping by a friend’s place. Inside the historic, brick building on Main Street is an assortment of displays in the gift shop including home décor, jewelry, and the ever fashionable “Fifi,” a decorative display mannequin whose flamboyant regalia embodies the current mood of the season. Just past the gift shop is the large Design Room, the heart of FIORE. The walls are lined with coolers and buckets overflowing with blooms of every color, shape and size, as well as shelves and stacked floor-to-ceiling vases, big and small. It’s a busy, but peaceful spot with work tables surrounded by half a dozen employees quickly snipping and arranging a variety of floral arrangements and bouquets. The shop is a warm reflection of its owner. “I like that I get to use my hands and be creative with some of best friends,” said Leigh Anne Mason, who has worked for Pallin for seven years. “We all really enjoy each other.” “We hustle,” Pallin said. “We work really well with other vendors, too, which is really helpful to making things go smoothly. We try to be streamlined. We don’t make a lot of mistakes. We make some, which is natural, but organization is the key. I tell them, ‘Never call in sick on a wedding day, not when you have nine weddings.’ If there’... https://www.pnj.com/story/life/2018/08/25/pensacola-florist-grew-fiore-business-out-grit-and-hustle/1070517002/

The versatile DC investor with a buzzy nonprofit - Washington Post - Washington Post

Star Care of Leesburg, Va. </caption>It’s that rare Washington business that has served as a spawning ground for other companies and entrepreneurs. America Online, MCI Communications and the Carlyle Group quickly come to mind. You could probably throw LivingSocial in there as well.Washington entrepreneur Dan Price and his partner and brother, Tim, did their part two decades ago with their funky, failing little baby called Send-A-Song, one of the early pioneers in interactive phone dialing. The original idea was to deliver tunes like Stevie Wonder’s “I Just Called To Say I Love You” by telephone to a special someone on Valentine’s Day, birthdays, anniversaries, etc.Instead of folding Send-A-Song’s tent after getting gobsmacked by recording industry lawsuits, the brothers turned it into Price Interactive. The business revolved around the robotic voice that answers the phone to instruct you which number to press to check your flight status, get a 401(k) balance or to (god forbid) cancel your newspaper.“Send-A-Song is the ‘trunk of an entrepreneurial tree’ that has created hundreds of jobs and hundreds of millions of economic value in the D.C. area over the past 25 years,” Dan Price said. In addition to Price Interactive, Send-A-Song’s offspring include Contact Solutions, Helios HR (a major local human resources consulting firm fou...

Twisted Tree Nipawin Florist to receive national award - Nipawin Journal

Takes some getting used to. We’ve [received] phone calls, flowers and gifts and stuff from people saying congratulations.I didn’t do it for the award. I wanted people in our community and in Saskatchewan to be proud of something that is locally grown,” she said.When asked what is it that helped Twisted Tree become so successful Richardson Chalus she says her staff and her customers played a huge role.“It’s an honour, and I think it says a lot not only about us as a store, a business in a small community, but it says something about our customers and our consumers. They’ve stepped up to support a small independent business and people have continued over the last 10 years to support us locally,” she explained.“You often hear that when people have company, or guests come to town, ‘Oh this is one of the stops we have to make’. It’s nice, and the customer service on a small scale, that’s not something you get in a big city. We want to make sure people feel welcome and comfortable and I know that even though you can’t buy something every time you come in the door at least I know that when you need something , if you’ve been to check us out, you ‘ll think ‘ Hey let’s just pop down there’ and that’s great too,” she said.Twisted Tree has managed to carve out it’s own niche in Nipawin. The house decor, fancy displays, gift ideas, and festive offerings are eye catching. Richardson Chalus says all of this couldn’t have been possible without her staff.“My staff are my backbone. This isn’t a one woman show anymore and this takes the staff that I have and my family that contribute on a daily basis. Not one person can be run the show by themselves. This is a big operation now, it’s not just about one person.”The awards banquet will be held January 29 in Toronto. Flights are booked and Richardson Chalus says she looks forward to attended the awards with her husband Rod.This article passed through the Full-Text RSS service - if this is your content and you're reading it on someone else's site, please read the FAQ at fivefilters.org/content-only/faq.php#publishers.Recommended article: The Guardian's Summary of Julian Assange's Interview Went Viral and Was Completely ... http://www.nipawinjournal.com/2016/12/28/twisted-tree-nipawin-floorist-to-receive-national-award

Mel-City Florists has a brand new owner - Melfort Journal

Overall, I’ve been appreciative of how supportive and positive everyone’s been of it.”She named a few of the new lines in store that she’ll be carrying noting that they’re the first to carry them in Saskatchewan.One of the lines is The Vancouver Candle Company which she is excited about saying they’re a great, high quality candle line.“ I think they’re going to do really good and big things in Canada so I was really excited to get in on that early,” she said.Another one is FarmHouse Fresh. This line provides all natural lotions, dish soaps, hand soaps and cleaners.“That was another line that we were the first in Saskatchewan to get so I was really proud of that and excited for that line to come in,” she saidWhen it comes to the flowers, McLean explained that they’re working with suppliers to bring new things to the city.This summer she was able to work with some different suppliers and get some different flowers.“I’m excited to carry on with that and to see what develops over the next year as far as unique and different flowers that Melfort hasn’t seen before,” McLean said.While she is incorporating a variety of new items, McLean emphasised that the store will still carry items that people continue to want.“Some of the lines that people know and love are continuing. As far as the gift portion of things, Mercy Cream, Barefoot Venus, Sea Of Spa, Bee By The Sea, all of those are continuing as well as Willow Tree and Lug Bag,” she said.McLean notes that a lot of the lines that people come to the store for will continue while her team incorporates fresh, new ideas.Prior to arriving in Melfort, McLean worked for a non-profit organization in Prince Albert managing programming for eight years. Acknowledging that it’s a different field, she explained that she worked with immigrants and refugees helping them settle in the community. That experience was rewarding but she was ready for a change.She said that she wants her store to be a place where people are inspired, leave happy and have a positive experien... http://www.melfortjournal.com/2016/10/25/mel-city-florists-has-a-brand-new-owner
