No coupons required for this one: just you and your Halloween ideas. I know I might be biased, but we have some great stuff. I’ve already talked about this mummy, but we also have this wild-eyed fellow, this mischievous looking cat, and all the jack-o’-lanterns you can shake a stick at.

You can check out all the details below, and then come into a store and check out all the merchandise. Make sure you clear your schedule because you might be there a while.

See you around the store!

Container, vase, or pot. Whatever you call it, if it's over $10, you save 25%

No coupon required for this one; your discount will be automatically taken at the register. All you have to worry about is finding the perfect container for your occasion. Here are some samples from the website to get you started: ceramic containers. Remember, the sale only applies to containers over $10, so not all of the ones you see on the site are eligible.

Well, at least every little boy and girl at Shinoda dream about it. That’s because tomorrow, Shinoda Design Center kicks off the beginning of our Christmas season. It’s an exciting time to be at the store, as the aisles are teeming with excited/frantic shoppers, sorting through thousands of Christmas products, trying to make a decision.

My name is Poinsettia, and I'm 25% off at Shinoda Design Center during July

But why does it start so early? I mean, July is the middle of summer. Back home, we were trying very hard not to think about winter or anything cold in July (although out here, the weather at Christmas time is only a little cooler than July). Even thinking about Labor Day made us a little skittish. So why are we already talking about Christmas?

Because we have to. Christmas comes earlier and earlier in the retail world these days. It’s not uncommon to see Christmas items out in October in some high profile retail locations. Since we’re a wholesale operation, we need to be ready to serve those customers ahead of that schedule. We’re in full Christmas swing by the time September rolls around (I’m already shaking thinking about Mark coming back and telling me I need to cashier. For all I know about computers, I still don’t understand our point of sale program).

July is your chance to beat the rush. Here are just a few reasons you should shop our July sale:

1. Christmas is definitely happening again this year. I just double checked to make sure.
2. Your clients are going to want Christmas stuff. I don’t have to double check that.
3. Right now, you can get selected Christmas merchandise for 25% less than at the last minute.
4. Right now, you can get first crack at Christmas merchandise, before it’s been thoroughly picked through.
5. Because poinsettias are 25% off, and we have a ridiculous selection of poinsettias.

I am also 25% off.

Yes, I too am 25% off

Will we still have great Christmas stuff in December? Sure. We’ll even have great stuff the week before Christmas; that’s what we do. But during July, you can get a lot of it for 25% off, and you won’t have to contend with the other shoppers during the pre-Christmas frenzy. Check out all the details on the flyer below. You don’t need a coupon for this one: just yourself and a Shinoda membership.

See you around the store!

It's much easier to let the flowers do the talking

It’s time to stock up for summer. Summer means weddings, reunions, weddings, barbecues, weddings, pool parties, and weddings. Whether you’re planning the event or providing the flowers, you’ll need plenty. You can plan ahead by checking out some of our selection on our website under the silk flower stems category.

To celebrate this month of sales, we’ll be writing about some of our stems. So why are we telling you guys, some of whom work with flowers every day, more about flowers? Well, the first reason is kind of selfish. Unlike the Shinoda family, I’m not from the flower world. Since I work at Shinoda Design Center, I really need to know my stems, and right now, I don’t. Sometimes when I’m walking the floor to think about something on the site, a customer will ask me a question about an event or want some flower advice. Usually after saying something like, ‘um’ or ‘uh’ or desperately looking for one of our more knowledgeable employees, I ask for a minute to find someone who can help. I’d really like to be more helpful in that situation.

Also, as someone who’s worked a long time with computers, there’s still a lot that I don’t know. Basically every day I learn something useful. Sometimes I learn about a whole topic that I had never heard about before. For the next 30 days, we’ll be doing some digging to find out tidbits about some of our flowers that you may not have known. Hopefully you can learn something new or be reminded of something you had forgotten. Check in every day at our Silk Flower Stem of the day for something new each day.

You don't need to print this one out. Just come in and shop!
