for me to spend a day off the net, basically the whole planet would have to stop spinning and we'd have to lose all gravity.:0

i solved this problem for a while by being a live in caregiver for a quadraplegic. i got housing and a 50$ a day salary. it was pretty sweet. for those that have the right stuff to do this kind of work, i highly recommend it. it's rewarding, and if you have an active patient(preferably with a job) that is pretty self sufficient once they are in their chair, you have normal working hours available to do your primary pursuits.

god, we just have to be so careful these days what we say. recently had a chance to regret something i said on the internet. good thing i have powerful friends who are kind enough to make it go away.

course, i don't think i would ever get sauced and leave a voicemail like that. wow!

so glad the expert has weighed in. after i move into my new shop john, i may have to go ahead and bite the bullet. guess i'll finally have to be nice to all those other people on the road.:) just wish more people knew how to drive!

sounds a little too good to be true.:)

i just got a new customer yesterday off my biznik profile in google. biznik is such a great source of goog juice.:)

btw, welcome!

welcome Tsuyo! There is a growing Portland community to link up with, so be sure and find/host an event soon if you possibly can!

kevin, we sell to both and the only distiguishment i make is that B2B is much more lucrative in the long run..

events are a big part of the floral biz. corporate events are very profitable.

vehicle wraps reinforce branding and a professional image. thats good for my biz or yours.with more eyeballs on your brand as you go down the 1-5 it only stands to reason that some of those eyeballs might belong to some important decision makers. having a vehicle wrap sure isn't going to hurt your sales that's for sure (unless you are a road rage driver:))..

that said, the most effective B2B marketing tool in my opinion is always going to be the stuff that is done on a personal level. (like sending flowers)

yep! havent done mine yet, but other florists get orders from them all the time. my reluctance for doing it stems from my penchant for aggressive driving and cussing out those who cant drive.:)

may i suggest John Masterson .. he is The Master!

get to him here.

bob,

ever done any projects in kitsap?

i would love to learn how to do this for my wordpress site. when are you going to have it?

tanya,

did you ever follow through on getting a wordpress powered site?

wonder if we could sell flowers on etsy..maybe silks would be a good niche.

who doesnt love a good massage? could really go for one right now. we are getting ready for mothers day.

events are the key!

flax is great stuff. love uncle sam's cereal!

getting found in organic search results in google has been one of the most effective methods for us to reach our customers. we get 2-4 new clients a day this way. with right content and keywords we are able to reach the prospects who are looking for what we sell.

i'm totally going to demo these guys. let you know how it turns out.

i would love to have a search feature for our message inbox. hate digging through my pages of messages to find what i need.

i can't believe it just snowed here in April of all mos. i hear that broke the record around here for the latest snow set back in '82.

wordpress blog posts on my own hosted server have provided more of a return than any other advertising i have done to date. it's magic.

so far, wp commerce is going together pretty smoothly.. check back in on this thread weekly and let you know how it's progressing.

just

vive la internet! no way am i ever going to fail to surf, unless i am the grand canyon or something.

the one exception will be, i hope, mother's day.:)
