Buying Flowers on Facebook?

A well known retail pioneer is 1-800-Flowers.com, it has been a household name for over 15 years selling flowers over the phone and on the internet. Jim McCann, the founder and CEO of the company has taken the concept of selling flowers from a localized chain of stores in New York to an international franchise with over 10 million customers worldwide.

Successful visionaries never stop innovating and Jim McCann is at it again. He is opening yet more stores, this time on the popular social networking site: Facebook. This makes perfect sense. You have your circle of friends on Facebook, you know the important dates for each person, maybe a birthday, maybe an anniverary, or even an unplanned event. You can easily place an order of flowers to be delivered without picking up the phone or going to a different URL, all done within your Facebook page. What better way to send your flowers to your friends.

I am glad there are leaders out there like Jim McCann, providing innovation and convenience for even more customers who interact daily on their Facebook pages to purchase flowers. I can't wait to try that myself as Mom's birthday is coming up next month!

Jeff Barcy

We are our biggest opponent in the game of success. Only a few who believes in themselves and have the perseverance will come up on top. Jeff Barcy, CEO of Hearthstone, has applied the 'faith in himself' formula to take him to the top.

Jeff Barcy purchases agriculture or other types of land that has not been zoned for housing. He attempts to obtain approvals to develop the land for new housing communities then sells the land to home builders for profit. This sounds simple but it is a very lengthy, complex and often frustrating process. Resistence from environmental activists and regulatory entities or trying to get electricity to the site can take years. Defeating resistence and time over and over again has its rewards, as the value of the approved land can increase 5 times the investment. We salute Jeff Barcy for his faith and patience!

K-Designers

I believe every business should give back to improve the very community that made them successful. One such company that does exactly that is K-Designers out of California and they have been in business for the past 30 years.

K-Designers can make your house 'a new home at the old address' by updating your house's exterior with siding, special coating, and energy efficient windows and doors to name a few of their products. Specializing in re-modeling while incorporating design, they have not only contributed to various charities but also volunteered their time and resources to reconstruct homes and uplifting neighborhoods in their community.

Businesses like K-Designers are on my 'admired' businesses list and I do encourage all business entities to give back to the communities that have given to them.
