British Florist Weekly Newsletter
 
July can be a month of contrast - as the schools prepare to break up this time of year it can become a little quiet - all accept for the wedding work that keep us busy!
July is yet another busy month for the BFA - at RHS Tatton Park flower show we have a significant presence - giving us the ideal opportunity to promote you and your business to some of the 80,000 visitors attending the show.  The BFA Floral Design Marquee will include demonstrations, exhibits, huge floral displays and Floral Sundries. 

BFA at RHS Tatton Park Flower show

Last week you may have read about the BFA Flower Shop. First launched at BBC Gardens world live, the shop will be featured again at RHS Tatton Park Flower show but this time bigger and better than ever.

The shop is the ideal place to educate the public about the consumer website and the benefits of buying from their local florist.  Consumers are keen to hear about the 'Find a Florist' facility and take away the flyers so they can use the website that promotes all BFA members with their individual profile page linking through to their own website and social media.

Tatton will also be drawing the crowds, staging the final of the UK Florist of the Year - one of the biggest floristry competition the UK has ever seen, after the heats at Gardeners world live the six finalists will be going head to head before one is crowned the UK Florist of the Year

Also in the BFA marquee will be the main event, the ever popular demonstrations, this pulls in the crowds and is another ideal opportunity to promote BFA florists, the benefits of buying from your local professional BFA florist and finding the consumer website.


The Brand awareness is driven home in all the areas alongside the BFA Logo which is synonymous with professionalism and skilled Florists!
