Alright – so today we’ve got the honor of introducing you to Tracie Perkins. We think you’ll enjoy our conversation, we’ve shared it below.

Alright, Tracie thanks for taking the time to share your stories and insights with us today. What’s been the best thing you’ve ever seen (or done yourself) to show a customer that you appreciate them?

I love weddings, the joy is completely infectious. For the last 20 years I have had the pleasure of working with amazing couples , parents to be , and more. Executing fresh ideas tailored to each of their events. Recently had a client looking for something nontraditional and a little “out of the box”. Created fun centerpieces with a 45 record nestled into the arrangement. Incorporating fun pieces from a local artisan as well! I love our local flower farmers, and artisans. I seek to actively support local businesses! There is a spirit and care behind the work they do. I’m pleased to have the opportunity to incorporate those businesses and products into an event. I truly believe people will never forget how you made them feel! I believe in living a life based around kindness and leaving others feeling uplifted, bycreating unforgettable celebrations!

I love our local flower farmers, and artisans. I seek to actively support local businesses! There is a spirit and care behind the work they do. I’m pleased to have the opportunity to incorporate those businesses and products into an event. As a result I have purchased a local candle business and have had the opportunity to bring more joy to others and their spaces! Scents can remind us of a wonderful memory from our past, and bring a smile to our faces.

Network, network, network! Take the time to connect with others in your industry, create friendships, support and encourage them. There you will find the best referrals to your business!
