one more task done
February 21, 2008
I’m really excited with this wedding prep. There are so many new experience I’ve yet to see. I’ve met with a lot of people and learnt a lot about having a wedding in US and the wedding industry as a whole. In my spare time, I did some research here and found that the wedding industry is a couple billion dollar industries here. I’m interested in join in the crowd and start business (it’s a low entry barrier industry) in this industry but definitely not right now.
Anyway, I’ve met with couple florists around town. I’m really interested with this particular florist in downtown area but they do not have pictures to show to me. The store is cute and the flower arrangements they put in the store is very beautiful, like those kind of arrangements you’ll find in leading magazine. However, I’m just not comfortable by the fact that he has only a few of wedding arrangements pictures to show to me. Therefore, I decided to move on to other florist. We met with Michael, the owner of Cua florist and he treated us very well on our first consultation. We like his personality, his arrangements are beautiful, and his quote is reasonable so we decided to go ahead with his company. From this experience, I observed one important thing. It’s simple: Service is everything. We met with couple different florists but what sets them apart are the level of service they provided for customers (assuming other factors remain constant or at least comparable). This is an important notion to keep in mind if any of you (or us) want to start a business in US (or anywhere else in the world).
