A Letter from our customer.

Dear David & Jeffrey,

On behalf of the 2009 Pro Am Tennis Committee, I want to thank you so much for your wonderful flower arrangements for our dinner/silent auction. We had over 240 people attending and everyone made comments on how beautiful the flowers were. We brought what little business cards were left that night to our Pro Am tennis tournament on the following Sunday and everyone was taken. You were, of course, listed in our program as a contributor so hopefully, you will garner more business in the future.

We so appreciate your supporting Foodshare and The North Ranch Country Club in our efforts to end hunger in Ventura County.

You both are awesome!

Thanks again,

Marla, Arnie, Foodshare & The North Ranch Country Club

Back by popular demand: McCall's Candles at David Jeffrey Designs.

We are are thrilled once again to offer our customers the finest scented candle on the market. When we first introduced this wonderful product in our Thousand Oaks retail store "Flowers On The Blvd" back in 2003 it was a huge success.
All I had to do was keep one of the candles lit at all times and the amazing fragrances sold itself. Sending a basket of flowers with a McCall Candle is a gift you will never forget.
Classic Jar Candle - 16 oz size is $17.50

Banana Nut Bread

You've just stepped into Laura's Loaves and Goodies, a small, quaint family bakery where Laura is baking her famous cream-cheese filled banana nut bread. A fresh, hot, out-of-the-oven scent. This caramel colored goody is a definite crowd pleaser!

David Jeffrey Designs Preferred Customer Club

David Jeffrey’s Preferred Customer Club

One of the disadvantages of being a hands on owner and designer is the lack of free time to implement ways to bring new customers in and keep existing customers informed of our latest products and innovative design ideas.
At the same time our owner - designer company guarantees expert design and quality to our clients.

Nearly 30 years in this business and other than the Westlake Magazine and two small direct mail campaigns we don't advertise.
Our business was built on word of mouth, a slower but solid loyal customer base that has stayed with us and continues to refer us to family and friends throughout the area. We never take our loyal customers for granted and strive everyday to keep up with the latest technology yet maintain that good old fashion business ethic of keeping our customers happy and coming back for more.
We are introducing two new services to our customers and look forward to hearing your input.

First,

Add your name and valid email address to our list and receive a 10% discount off any purchase you make. As a member of our Preferred Customers Club you will receive a range of benefits and discounts throughout the year. Often these special items are drastically reduced because of over produced items that are direct from our premium floral and plant growers.

Secondly, we are introducing a reminder service to all participating clients that care to join a service where you provide us a list of most important dates in your life, such as anniversaries and birthdays and we will send a courtesy email reminding you of your upcoming special occasion, offering you the best value
available. Ordering in advance allows us time to plan ahead to design a unique custom floral gift with the greatest value for your money.

Our E-mail:
davidjeffreydesigns@gmail.com

We do not sell or exchange your email information to anyone under any conditions.

In addition, we are honored to be on several preferred vendor lists from our favorite restaurants, hotels, country clubs, caterers, churches. Please mention their name when you are inquiring about your event at these locations and when confirm we will offer you 10% discount on your entire order for that event.
If you were referred by a non-listed vendor please let us know so we can include them.

Welcome to our Blog

One of the great advantages of the internet with its growing popularity with consumers is the ability to connect with customers at their convenience 24/7.
Unfortunately the internet does not lend itself to that “Old Fashion" style of interacting with customers getting to know their different style and taste, until now.
We have decided to enhance our internet experience and take it one step further with an interactive Blog and discussion board.
To my knowledge I have not seen anyone else do this and no doubt this will be a learning experience for us and our customers.
Our intention is to continue to grow our business on the internet keeping us connected to our customers both old and new building relationships in the same way we have done for nearly 30 years.
We will be updating our Blog offering new product & floral designs,commentary,specials and that personal touch that you have come to expect from David Jeffrey Designs.

Some Helpful Tips - Picking your Florist

Consumers might not know, but not all "local" florists are local. Some out-of-state telemarketing and online firms pose as local florists. These companies mislead consumers into feeling they are ordering flowers from a local florist, but without their knowledge, are being call-remote forwarded to another state. These firms charge higher fees and take business away from legitimate local florists. Consumers are deceived into thinking they are doing business with a local company when they're not. That's unethical and unfair.
To make sure you are doing business with a local professional florist, just follow these tips:
Ask neighbors, family, friends, and co-workers for florist recommendations.
Deal only with shops that service their local area and will not wire it out to another shop.
The Right Fit: Look for a floral shop that offers the product mix, level of service and design style that fit your needs.
Personal Attention: Choose a florist who will get to know you, keep track of your floral preferences and send reminders of upcoming special occasions.
Excellent Service: Look for convenient hours, easy-access location and a satisfaction-guarantee.
Helpful Suggestions: Good florists ask questions about what you're looking for, offer expert advice and suggest floral gifts to match any sentiment, occasion, personality or home decor.
Creative Flair: Look for artistry in the florist's arrangements, design and presentation.
Selection and Variety: From the familiar carnation to exotic tropicals, a great shop carries a complete menu of flowers and plants to choose from.
Top Quality Product: The finest florists in the field carry quality product.
Word of mouth is often the best resource when looking for a florist. An outstanding florist will have a good reputation in your community.

Westlake Magazine: Our Story

THE EARTH LAUGHS IN FLOWERS
Ralph Waldo Emerson

By Carol Karm

To maintain a successful business in a small town for twenty five years requires highly unique talent, enviable client relationships, discretion and enormous personal charm. David Vincent and Jeffrey Camarda, better known as David Jeffrey Flower Design, have all these qualities.

From the very begining we put our emphasis on creating floral decoration that was artistically unique and elegant. Even today their effort is to buy as many flowers straight from the field so their creations are delivered field fresh and able to last far longer than normal arrangements. Currently all of their employees are trained floral designers, as are both owners.

They had always done a very good wedding business. When asked about longstanding clients, David mentioned he had recently done a wedding and that he had sent flowers to the mother of the groom on the day the groom was born. Now that is longstanding client! Many of clients of David Jeffrey Flower Design have been onboard since the opening of business 25 years ago. David is quick to mention that their clients are also very valued friends.

They had done celebrity business and television shows, but, as business progressed, David and Jeffrey began doing more parties and events. David liked the production part of an event and began doing all of the coordination of location, lighting, linens, china, catering and any special effects that the event seemed to need to be spectacular. And there have been some VERY spectacular events over the years.

They reminisced about an engagement party they did. The bride and groom wanted to create a sky bar effect in a back yard, but David felt the weather would be too cold and they would need a tent, which they didn’t want. David and Jeff put an addition off the back of the patio forty feet deep which was carpeted in white and had a false ceiling with three crystal chandeliers, sides of clear plexiglas with white drapes and white leather furniture and Lucite tables. The whole thing was bathed in the glow of hundreds of candles. At the entry stood a glass table with a base that said LOVE. Needless to say the future bride and groom and guests were speechless.

But not everything in floral design is weddings and parties. They talked about some of the funerals they have done. Jeff, speaking for both of them, said they feel strongly that in their business they are holding people’s most memorable days in their hands. A funeral it is the last thing you do for a person and they find it very moving and personal work.

From their first store, Lorvin, an ultra-elegant boutique, to Flowers on the Boulevard, a cozier but equally tasteful store, to their business now, the rules remain the same. First, start with the freshest flowers and floral material possible. Second, employ trained designers who understand the concept of designing with flowers. Treat them well and help them grow in their ability. Third, listen closely to the wishes of the client so that the client will always be amazed and delighted with the end results.

When asked what floral tips he would give someone, David was quick to say,” Find a florist you trust. Give him a concept and let him do the design.”
And this is how David Jeffrey Floral Design has enjoyed twenty five years of uninterrupted success in a small town.
