Texans Flood the FTD on the Road Show in Dallas
FTD kicks off the summer with the first of five regional events

DOWNERS GROVE, IL. (June 30, 2006) - FTD enlivened florists with this summer's first FTD on the Road Show in Dallas on Saturday, June 24. The FTD-exclusive event featured incredible deals at the trade fair, networking opportunities, technology and business and design programs presented by insightful educators.

FTD Design Instructor Jeff Corbin AIFD, AAF, PFCI kicked off the event with "Pristine Parties", an energizing program that focused on the many facets of event work which are often overlooked. He shared ideas on increasing event sales without jeopardizing financial and labor resources.

Florists also learned how to attract new customers and entice current customers during the business program, "Increasing Sales, Gaining Market Share and Building Customer Loyalty," presented by Gaylon Pyle of Quality Advantage Training and Consulting.

Florists wrapped up a full day of shopping and networking with cocktails, dinner and an evening design program. FTD Design Instructor Ian Prosser AIFD presented "Weddings with Style," which demonstrated how to create a signature look that will set them apart from their competition.

FTD has four other Road Show events scheduled for the summer in Atlanta, Chicago, Los Angeles and New York City. Visit FTDi.COM for the schedule of events or to register.
