Generate some publicity and goodwill by doing good deeds. This Sunday 28th June is International Lonely Bouquet Day. We will print FREE tags PERSONALISED with your business details for any florist shop that wants to take part completely FREE of charge. All you need to do is complete the simple form on our website http://thepaperstudio.co.uk/thelonelybouquet.html and we'll zip them off to you by return of post.

Last week Jacqui Bell of The Little Flowermonger in Rhyl put out 10 bouquets with our (similar) Loneliness Awareness tags attached and posted photos on Facebook and Instagram. She got a huge response, more than 10 times normal, and a great number of very favourable comments. It also helped people realise she had moved to a new shop, and to bring in new customers.

Importantly, she had the satisfaction of her bouquets being received by some very deserving people for whom it made a real difference, bringing some sunshine into their lives,

We want to help.

Here's how to get your free, personalised tags for Loneliness Awareness Week.
Loneliness is debilitating. It can have a negative impact on a person’s health and well-being. Which is why Marmalade Trust host Loneliness Awareness Week (15th to 21st June) and use it as a way of encouraging people to make connections.

Direct2florist have supported the campaign for years and are now asking the whole industry to join them to be part of the event using the power of flowers to connect. The Florist magazine, Good Florist Guide and the BFA are all helping to promote this very worthwhile cause. Similarly to The Lonely Bouquet you are asked to create small bouquet/s and place them around your local area.

Our contribution is to provide, free of charge, a tag to attach to the flowers which explains why the flowers have been left, and asking the person who finds them to give them to someone who they feel might be lonely.

We print the tags with your details on, so the person who finds them knows who has been generous and kind enough to provide the flowers. To get your free tags just email [email protected] with your details.

Please think about taking part. Your small act of generosity could make someone’s day.

The Paper Studio is about to launch three sizes of Greeting Cards and a range of notepads. As this is something new for us we would like some help please. If you currently stock a range of cards we would like to send you a batch of samples for you to compare with what you already have, to get feedback on the images and what you think the retail prices for each item should be. In total there are 60 card designs over the 3 sizes, and a dozen notepad designs. If you can help please email [email protected] or call 01934 644451. We would be very grateful for your views and comments. Thanks.

We have been having a website problem for several days now. We had a minor problem with an update not happening. In their attempts to fix this problem Fasthosts, our website hosting service, have managed to make the whole website inaccessible! I am not at all happy. Fasthosts say they are working on it! Don't they know that Mother's Day is fast ******* approaching? Be assured that we are working normally and productively despite this communication glitch! Contact us on 01934 644451 and [email protected] Thanks for your patience!

27th National Florist Business Survey.
This year has been challenging for a lot of florists There are some who seem to have done well but many others haven't had such a great time. Your own results may not be typical. That's why we do these surveys - so you can see how the country as a whole has done. It's important to get a better perspective on how your own figures compare with the country at large. It helps to put your own results into context.
To go to the survey just click here: https://www.easygoingsurvey.com/respweb/cuestionarios.aspx?EID=3002998
