A flower shop in Smithfield is expecting its biggest Christmas ever

12/9/15

 

Every Bloomin’ Thing, a flower shop in Smithfield, is expecting its most profitable Christmas season so far.

 

“Every holiday this year has been bigger than in years past,” said Michelle Mcneely, who manages the shop. “We expect that trend to continue and to have our biggest Christmas yet.”

 

The shop’s special Christmas bouquets bring in a lot of customers this time of year.

 

“We have a lot of arrangements with pine, fresh from the forest,” she said. “We do a lot of different things like arrangements with antlers and people really like how unique they are.”

 

Mcneely said Every Bloomin’ Thing does not do any advertising.

 

“We don’t go on the radio or in the newspaper,” Mcneely said. “We are just in the phonebook so most of our new business is just from word of mouth and that is why we sell more and more every year.”

 

The staff are starting to get busy now and are prepared for the rush of the season.  

 

“This is my training period and I’m excited to be busy for the next month,” said Tyrell Mcneely,  a new employee at the shop. “This is a really good job and I'm happy to work here.”

 

Michelle Mcneely said Christmas is one of the big four selling occasions for the shop.

 

“The biggest holidays, for us, are Memorial Day, Mother’s Day, Valentine’s Day and Christmas in that order.”
