On the Discussion Boards

A new query has been posted to the discussion boards looking for help defining the difference between modern and contemporary designs. "I need to make sure that those who are taking orders are on the same page as those who are making the arrangements," the poster explains. Think you can help nail down the proper definition?

In response to a previous post looking for ideas on how to offer a landmark celebration, a new response has just been added to the discussion. A poster reveals that for her shop's 30th anniversary, they offered 30-cent roses the whole day. She goes on to report that even though it was pulled together right after Valentine's Day "we were very surprised and pleased with the number of people who came in." Find out how they promoted their landmark celebration.

Or start your own discussion.
