Make an Informed Decision
Ideally, you are reading this with time to make an
informed decision on your floral preservation. If not, we hope you will
find our web site to be set up in an easy-to-navigate and understand
format. All of the information on our services and product line is
presented within these albums. Confining this to one location, we
hope you will feel confident knowing that there is no opportunity for any hidden
charges, even if you find yourself currently short on
time.
As
mentioned, we are a small operation and although we are no longer advertising,
we enjoy an enthusiastic volume of clients from referrals. At any given
time throughout the year, we are processing an average of 35-45
bouquets/arrangements and able to do this with an average, "Fresh to Keepsake"
turnaround of 4-8 months. Ours is a time-consuming, natural, preservation
method, producing FRESH results and we feel that they are more than worth
it. However, if a client is in more of a rush for the final product, we
understand that there are other preservationists within the local and national
industry, offering a faster turnaround.
By
asking our clients to communicate with us, whenever possible, by e-mail and fax,
we are able to maintain an efficient operation. Since our designer/owner
prefers the hands-on approach to maintaining consistency between every step of
the "Fresh to Keepsake" stages. Please see the section on Fresh to
Keepsake process within this album to better understand our process.
We hope that by developing a better understanding of how and why we turn your
fresh flowers into your lasting keepsake, you will appreciate why it is truly an
art, not a "cookie cutter" operation. Creating your unique, work of
art should not be rushed. It will be as perfect as we can possibly get it,
you may be assured of this.
Since we
devote approximately 30-40 hours on each and every keepsake, from start to
finish, you will find our prices to be on the "affordable side of
competitive". Our prices reflect what we would expect and be willing to
invest in this type of art product ourselves. However, we are not the
"cheapest game in town". While we make no apologies for our pricing and
even offer options to ease the financial aspects of this commitment (see Menu of
Services for more details), if the fit between our preservation and keepsake
costs is not what you are looking for, we understand and certainly appreciate
your consideration anyway.
We
appreciate that while, we feel that to the best of our knowledge, we are the
only professional preservationist within the Denver metro area using this
method, getting the fresh results, incorporated with experienced and creative
floral design artistry, we do know that there are other qualified services
out there. In fact, since we choose to operate a small, cottage industry
company, we strive to maintain a manageable volume, not wanting to take on more
clients than we can handle that might threaten the quality from our current
clientele. Therefore, we maintain a friendly competitive eye on other
local and national preservation companies so we may suggest alternatives for
your consideration, if we are unable to accommodate your
date.
You will
find, within this album, more information in our Menu of Services and How to
Engage our Services. Within this web site, you will find additional
material that we hope will allow you to make a truly informed decision on what
we have to offer you. Since we operate by The Golden Rule, wanting to
offer you what we would look for ourselves, we highly suggest that you take your
impressions formed from reviewing our photos, service and product details
to other preservation services and go with the best match for your
expectations.
While we
consider just your time and consideration a true privilege, when our clients are
able to make the time to engage our services after making that informed
decision, it makes it a true honor for us!
Thank
you for your time - we hope to have the opportunity to turn your special
occasion flowers into a lasting keepsake!
Best,
Christine
