Talk on The Forums

One member asked the following questions recently on SAF's Discussion Forum:

"I was wondering how do other florists handle donation requests? Also, when doing centerpieces for charity events how do other florists handle requests for donated centerpieces politely. Some of these events are attended by people who we want to have as customers so I would like the exposure, but will donating pay off with paying customers down the road?" Have some advice?
