ADVERTISING: Garden City has established an extensive advertising program, which includes. The Garden City name is synonymous with quality, selection, and service. We also use radio, and other mailings and social media and 16,000 email list to convey our message. We make extensive efforts to bring in customers so we can be successful as well as all other merchants. SIGNAGE: The signage for a typical "Flower Mart" is shown on the drawing. This is what we believe to be an excellent signage plan. We have tried to design the appearance and signing of our stores to be not only eye catching but professional looking as well. We are very conscious of how we look and do business. We would comply with the current sign requirements of the City. UTILITIES: Our only utility requirements are reasonable access to water for the plants and 110 volt electricity (on 24 hours) which runs the cash register and other small items in the "Flower Mart". This power typically comes from a light pole in the lot nearest the "Flower Mart. We have no lighting permanently installed in the "Flower Mart". Garden City takes away all discarded material and unnecessary items. We strive to maintain a clean and professional appearance. Water is the other utility we need. This is needed to care for the plant material at the "Flower Mart". The source of the water is not specifically identified at this point. Hopefully a source can be located nearby or from the underground watering system. We only need the equivalent of a standard gardening hose to water the plant material. THE SPRING SELLING SEASON: The selling season to be from April 25 thru September 30 (weather dependent). We typically begin preparations to set up all of the Garden City "Flower Marts" from March 15 to the opening day. We request the necessary time to build the "Flower Mart" before the season begins. We first deliver the necessary equipment to the location and then begin setting-up the "Flower Mart" when the weather is permissible. The "Flower Mart" is taken down and totally removed on the closing day of the season. We totally clean and sweep the location in the parking lot so that once we are gone there is no evidence of our having been there. OUR HOURS: Our hours are 8:00 AM until 8:00 PM weekdays and Saturday 8:00 AM to 7:00 PM Sunday 8:00 AM to 8:00 PM . We typically have two to three employees during weekdays and three to four during weekends. We are open seven days a week during the season. The "Flower Mart" is closely supervised by myself and Store Managers who keep it stocked and operating cleanly and efficiently. We make every attempt to employ persons from the community.
