Special Guest: Valencia Dixon of Brandon’s Flowers
You are in for a treat on this episode of the podcast! Valencia of Brandon’s Flowers is a bubbly, passionate gal who loves what she does and adores her community.
She’s sharing the meaning of “one-stop shop”—what is offered, who the clients are, and more. Not surprisingly, there are a lot of moving pieces! So you’ll also hear tips on how to keep things organized, including the importance of choosing a point of sale (POS) system.
Valencia is also chatting about where she sources both flowers and gift items locally. It’s vital to her and Brandon’s Flowers to nurture the community around them, and they do so beautifully!
Brandon’s Flowers is a family-owned florist and gift shop founded in Woodbridge, VA, in 1969 with a sole vision to promote happiness in their community by connecting people through flowers—all while building up diverse and inclusive experiences for their clients.
They have been growing and nurturing their little dream of becoming the perfect one-stop shop! They go the extra mile to provide locally sourced gifts and American-grown flowers as much as possible in order to protect and uplift their community and the next generation of florists. Valencia's very first interview with Prince William Living Magazine will be published in February 2022. You can find them on Instagram at @brandons.flowers or online at www.brandonsflowers.net.
