Florist Business Forum
 
CFBF heads west!
Written by Amanda Ryder   
cfbfwestMay 19, 2011 - After the success of our first-ever Canadian Florist Business Forum in Toronto this January, Canadian Florist is excited to take our one-day business-building event to western florists this summer. On Aug. 17, CFBF West will take place at The Sutton Place Hotel in Edmonton.

Thanks to our generous sponsors – Bernard’s Wholesale Florist, FTD, Smithers-Oasis and Teleflora – Canadian Florist is providing florists with the opportunity to network with fellow retailers, wholesalers and suppliers as well as take part in a day packed full of sessions aimed at helping you better your business. A line-up of industry experts will share ways to stay ahead of the competition as well as offer up marketing ideas and strategies to attract new clients. A supplier trade show will also give you access to new products and the opportunity to talk with wholesalers one-on-one. The purpose of this event is to bring florists together and challenge the current business model. We want to present to you new exciting ideas that will re-energize your business and find ways to appeal to your changing customer base.
