This could be your sign to take Floristry courses and training seriously

I enrolled in 2 courses before officially launching my site this year. Both were quite expensive but I knew that I needed them to serve my clients better.

Now, I’m not saying that you have to take courses to provide great services but I want you to know that in life and in the marketplace specifically, it’s all about exchanging values.

Hear me out. You will never build the confidence to raise your rates if you don’t improve something in your business. It’s not about how long you’ve been a florist. Many people stay within a range because of fear for many years. They’re afraid of charging more because of limiting beliefs.

And guess where those beliefs come from?

It comes from being stagnant. There’s no growth. 

Don’t worry, I’m not here to judge you. I just want you to be aware of the facts. 

There’s a million ways to grow in your business. As a wedding florist, it could look like:

• finally getting a logo 

• revamping your website

• adding someone to your team

• providing an other service

• investing in marketing, doing Ads for example

• attending conferences and networking with people in your industry

• or simply gaining more knowledge and improving your skills

This article isn’t sponsored at all and it’s not a “partnership” type of post. 

I follow these 2 ladies on social media and I truly believe they can easily help you achieve your next numbers.

Before starting, as a side note: I’ve never enrolled in their courses so I can’t give you any review. However just a glimpse of their sites should be enough for you to know about them. 

Remember the title of this post: This could be the sign for you to take Floristry Courses & Training seriously

Let’s start with Kays Flower School

First and foremost, I just LOVE her branding. Pink and floral. What else do we need in this dark and sinful world? We want pink and we want flowers.

Okay, I digress. 

So who’s behind Kays Flower School and how can you learn from her?

Through her online modules, Janette and her team are teaching you the art of floral design. You’ll learn all the basics and more. Bonus: There’s an entire module about Bridal Floristry.

And if you’re still doing it as a hobby, she has special Hobby Flower Courses. You’ll surely be satisfied with their training no matter where you are in your journey.

And guess what? Residents of Ireland can apply for a Funding Program. Don’t miss on this kind of opportunity.  

Oh and I almost forgot: they’ve been in the game for a long time! 1987 to be precise. You cannot beat that. 

Meet Janette and her team here Their blog is also a must-read. The value in their content is unmatched, it’s definitely binge-worthy.

You can also follow them on Youtube and Instagram.

Prices: Every Module is in Euro because they’re based in Ireland and they’re offering payment plans.

Next is an impressive Floral Coach I’ve seeing literally everywhere since I started working with florists in 2022. 

You may recognise her just by the name: The Little Bird Bloom

What I like about her style is her approach, the way she presents herself online.

Visit her site and you’ll notice that it’s so clean and straightforward that you won’t even be tempted to close the tab. You know you gotta read what’s there because there’s no menu button.

That’s a great marketing technique. 

I also love the way she’s connecting with people on Instagram Stories. I’ve seen many coaches do it and I suggest you have a look for yourself and tell me how you feel about it. 

How can Kathleen help you?

I think you can start with her Youtube channel. She’s discussing ALL things floristry, from step by step tutorials to mindset videos: another great channel you should absolutely binge in your free time to master your craft.

You can also listen to Kathleen’s podcasts if that’s your favourite method of learning.

And read her blog and purchase all her courses here. 

Prices: The courses are in USD

You may ask why on earth am I talking about Floral Educators on my blog knowing that I’m doing Web Design?

The answer is pretty simple. We’re working for the same people: YOU!

Yes, you who are reading right now. 

Your homework for today

I can’t choose which one I like the best but I admire their passion and consistency. So yeah, get to know those ladies and see if you like their content.

I don’t want to hear something like “Not sure if I can trust them, I’ve never heard of them before”

Well, today is the day to leave the lame excuses behind. Do it for your future self.
