Welcome to our first newsletter of the year!

I know we are already in July, but we have been extremely busy so far in 2009!!! Why you ask?? Aren’t we in a economic crisis?? Yes however people are still getting married, having babies and unfortunately passing on!

We have also been busy developing a new Web site, which has a very easy to use, consumer friendly online ordering system! Yes now all you need to do to order your beautiful organic arrangements from us is simply log onto www.plumbago.com.au and follow the prompts. You will notice that when you place your order through our new website that we are offering FREE delivery to all our local addresses!

Wedding Scoop!

As you all know a majority of our business is related to the wedding industry and with the expansion of our new studio premise we have had the pleasure of creating just over 70 weddings already this year. If you are one of those lucky couples, firstly congratulations and secondly we want to hear all your thoughts, or as we like to call them your ”WARM and FUZZIES”. Please log onto www.plumbago.com.au/testimonial-listing.php to submit your comments and amazing photos. We are running a competition to show how much we appreciate your feed back. You could win one of our quarterly prizes, this quarter we are giving away $150.00 worth of fresh quality flowers - it’s fabulous when someone takes the time to sit down and let us know what they thought of our service and work.

Staff Scoop!

Yes, as many of you have noticed we have a couple of additional staff members:

Prue - has joined the crew as our new second in charge, behind Shelly. She brings to Plumbago flowers a wealth of experience and knowledge, having grown up in her Mum’s Flower shop in Bowral. Ask her to create a posy and you’ll be amazed at how gorgeous and easy she makes it look! We welcome her to the team.

Wendy - is also relatively new, although she did start with us about 9 months ago, I haven’t formally introduced her yet. Working part time on Wednesdays and Saturdays, Wendy is always enthusiastic and makes us all happy to be at work. She has a real passion for flowers which is reflective in all her work.

CONGRATULATIONS to Shelly and her partner Jono, they are tying the knot early next year. No she hasn’t left the team she has been on a wonderful 5 week pre wedding honeymoon??? She has been travelling with her new fiancée around Europe. Gathering lots of inspiration for all those beautiful boutique flower shops in Paris, Rome and London. We welcome her home.

Thank you for all your support so far this year. We look forward to your feedback on the new website.
