Written by Amanda Ryder   
In our last e-newsletter, we asked you to send us examples of fraudulent orders that you received at your shop so we can work to compile a Canadian list of scams. Read on to see what orders you should refuse. Feel free to send us your own stories as well!

Although we've just passed the halfway mark of 2008, we here at Canadian Florist are already looking ahead to 2009. We'd like to hear what you think of the magazine. What topics have you enjoyed reading about in the past year?

The cost of rising fuel prices
Written by Amanda Ryder   
gaspricesJune 16, 2008 - In the past few months, I think it's safe to say we've all become accustomed to looking at ever-changing gas station signs and uttering a painful groan. And the climbing pump prices don't only affect how much we pay to fill up our tank, they also trickle down to other areas in our lives, including the day to day business operations.

Love it or hate it?
Written by Amanda Ryder   
rainbowroseJune 5, 2008 - One of the hot topics at the Floral Summit 2008 design show was the rainbow rose. Since they were first introduced at Hortifair in 2006, the roses are becoming more available to retailers. The vibrant petals have polarized those in the floral industry – you either love them or wish you’d never laid eyes on them.

Amanda Ryder Is the customer always right?
Written by Amanda Ryder   
I just finished reading an article in Nova Scotia's The Chronicle Herald that explored how the age old mantra 'the customer is always right' may actually be bad for business. The article looks at how blindly following this policy makes employees unhappy and give pushy customers an unfair advantage. Is the customer always right at your centre? How do you deal with cranky shoppers?

Amanda Ryder Streetside florist
Written by Amanda Ryder   
April 15, 2008 - A recent article in the Globe and Mail told the story of TJ Walker, a man who sells flowers on the streets of Vancouver and helped found the Flowers for Food program.

The flowers that he sells are donated by Make Scents, a Vancouver-area flower distributer. The company donates damaged blooms, bouquets that aren't good enough for retailers to sell or flowers that were returned to the wholesaler because retailers were unable to sell them.
