With the amount of time we spend thinking about all things gardening and marketing, it's easy to forget one of the most integral aspects of success in a business: you.

As the leader of a successful business, I know you take work home with you -especially during the busiest season of the year.

For gardeners, early spring is the time when flowers, seeds, soils, and chic containers are flying off the shelf.

Well, we think it's time to take a brief mental break from sales increases.

In order for your garden business to be successful, you need to learn the importance of self-care.

As a business, of course, you need to sell your product. But, being a business means far more than just your net profit.

Let's face it, if that's all your focused on, you're going to miss a trillion little steps that will get you to that point.

When it comes right down to it, the people who buy your product run your business. Scary, right? But, it doesn't have to be!

Follow our tips below to make sure you and your garden business are fostering a lifetime of customer l-o-v-e. If your customers love your product, then you'll be in a prosperous business forever!

We all want our clients holding up a sign like the little guy on the right. But, let's be a bit more specific: we don't want our clients to just love PR; we want them to love US as PR professionals.

Anymore, there are a million choices for each small decision. What color toothbrush? Organic or just all-natural snacks? What flowers to plant this spring?

The same can be said for PR firms. Frankly, we need our clients to love what makes our firm an individual entity.

President’s Day can seem like a bit of a ho-hum holiday after the love-filled, chocolate-centric Valentine’s Day that has just passed. But, President’s Day is a national holiday, filled to the brim with remembrance! 

President’s Day. A day to remember the best of the best. Our Presidents of the United States have led this country through some of the roughest times in our history, and, managed to do so with dignity and poise. 

Hum... kind of sounds like what we do in the public relations world day in and day out! We try to create an iconic image while portraying our clients as well as our own business in a gracious light. 

Let’s join forces for a bit. Our past, brilliant Presidents could certainly teach us how to excel in public relations. Today, we tip our hats to the past Presidents; thank you for all you’ve done and for all you continue to teach us!
