As I work on this blog I want to be intentional in putting out there the plans for moving ahead for the coming year. This way the world knows it and I'm accountable for it!!
A few more of the steps in the next year are going to be a total revamp of our website. We are looking into software that will allow us to manage and operate the website ourselves so we can have regular updates and post pictures quickly after new events. If you have recommendations for a program that would be great to use feel free to leave a comment.
Next, we are looking into floral design classes and are in touch with the Floral Design Institute in Portland, Oregon. The option to design and create my own floral work would greatly increase the business and separate Hand in Hand. Doing flowers has always been something I've loved and had a knack for. Now whilst learning the mechanisms behind the art I can create some of the new and fascinating ideas I have swirling around in my head! I haven't spoken with wholesalers yet but I'm also hoping that I will be able to pass on some of my savings to my clients through these services.
We are also looking for ideas for places to volunteer our event planning services for the 2010 year. If you know of an organization or corporation looking for this kind of help please leave me a comment.
This year will definitely be a huge venture. But we are looking forward to the endless possibilities that some of these changes will make to the foundations of Hand in Hand.
Au Revoir for now!
