CARLE PLACE, N.Y.– Being a local neighborhood florist and bringing smiles to people’s faces through the beauty of flowers is among the most special and rewarding professions anyone can have. BloomNet®, an international wire service and world class business solutions provider, is celebrating local florists throughout the country with an exciting new sweepstakes called I Heart FLORISTS.
The sweepstakes, which is open to all retail florists nationwide, invites florists to go to www.mybloomnet.net/iheartflorists and share their stories, pictures or videos about why they love being a florist. The first 250 submissions will receive a free I Heart FLORISTS T-shirt and all entrants in the Sweepstakes will be automatically entered in a weekly drawing to win a free Smithers Oasis/Floriology Institute Designer Tool Belt. What’s more, florists who submit a “selfie” picture or video of themselves at www.mybloomnet.net/iheartflorists wearing their I Heart FLORISTS T-shirt by November 30, 2014 will be entered into a drawing to win a $500 scholarship to the Floriology Institute in Jacksonville, Florida. Floriology Institute is the floral industry’s premier education center and an AIFD (American Institute of Floral Designers) Professional Floral Design Evaluation (PFDE) provider.
In addition to sharing their stories, pictures and videos about why they love being a florist, BloomNet florists participating in the I Heart FLORISTS sweepstakes are also urged to participate in the 1-800-Flowers.com / BloomNet “Local Exclusive Florist Designed Program” – which showcases florists’ designs to an audience of millions on the 1-800-Flowers.com website. When florists upload their truly original floral designs with their I Heart FLORISTS submission, they can request “Express Lane Approval” to submit their local exclusive designs for approval to sell on the 1-800-Flowers.com site and receive free worldwide exposure for their products and their shop.
