Keep the Money Local
This past summer, I won a $25 gift cert for a floral arrangement at a Nordonia Hills Chamber of Commerce Event. Petal Place florist in Northfield had donated the certificate. In September I decided to use the gift certificate for my Mom (who turned 86). Leslie Johnson, owner of Petal Place, created a beautiful autumnal arrangement that was beautiful.! My mom loved it!This was a great way for me to “test drive” Leslie’s handy work.
In October, the choir in which I belong, needed something special for our director, who had a death in her family. We were looking for something special. So I called Leslie and ordered a fruit basket. She did a fabulous job, once again, and I plan on giving her more work in the future.
What I like about this experience, is that Leslie, used other businesses in town to fill the basket. So the simple task of ordering a basket, actually sent ripples of business throughout the business community. You do not get that from a toll free number!
