Today we’d like to introduce you to Carolyn Hollon.
Alright, so thank you so much for sharing your story and insight with our readers. To kick things off, can you tell us a bit about how you got started?
I opened in 1990, over in Rona hills, then moved 23 years later to our current location at 50 N. Central Ave. I started because I could not work and afford daycare, I raised my son in the shop from the time he was 2, he is now 37, and still helps me on the weekend setting up weddings. The flower shop, (my second child ) has grown into a top shop in the area, we specialize in weddings, but are a full service florist delivering flowers to the fairborn and surrounding areas, we also have a micro farm where we grow some of our own flowers. We specialize in Dahlias
Can you talk to us a bit about the challenges and lessons you’ve learned along the way. Looking back would you say it’s been easy or smooth in retrospect?
It has been a long road, we have survived may obstacles, like recessions, the pandemic, now the tariffs, also our core customer base is aging and we are trying to attract customers using social media and SEO.
Thanks for sharing that. So, maybe next you can tell us a bit more about your work?
As a florist, creativity rules, we are always up for the challenge to do somthing different, like build a tree for a wedding, or somthing unique and personal for a funeral. We also customize arrangements for corporations when they send flowers so it represents their company.
How can people work with you, collaborate with you or support you?
We always want to partner with other business whenever we can. word of mouth and recommendation always helps.
