International Women’s Day will be observed on this March 8, 2021. This a special day designated to pay tribute to the wonderful women in multiple countries and recognize their contributions. Also a time to reflect on the difficult struggles for women over many years to get past the injustices that were dealt to them.  Thrifty Florist purchases direct, designs and sells only the freshest and most brilliant floral products and arrangements. What a spectacular way to honor a special woman or women’s group on this nationally designated day than to present them with a gift from Thrifty Florist.

Recounting the historical steps for women, it is unbelievable how much progress has occurred with respect to Women’s equality. Women now hold many powerful and influential positions within our society including prestigious board roles.

In 1909 the first International Women’s Day was held in the United States of America. The day began to gain popularity in other countries and by 1911 it was observed in several countries including Austria, Denmark, Germany and Switzerland.  To honor of this day, in 2011 there was a 100 year anniversary to celebrate.

No doubt that now into 2021, the world is a changed place. One change is that women have gained momentum in terms of job equality and opportunity. That is not to say there is not still room for improvement but much progress has been made in a century. You now find women in numerous high level roles within the public and private sector. Women now can be found in many boardrooms.

In order to honor the meaning of International Women’s Day, a beautiful flower arrangement from Thrifty Florist will be an appreciated gesture. Then to carry on that effort, below are some ideas to create a positive environment.

  • Boost self-esteem – Common sense to make a person feel like they are special and have great ideas and abilities. If you have a daughter what better reason than to boost her self esteem.  Encourage individuality and the pursuit of education.
  • Eliminate negativity – Tough to be a women with all the pressure from beauty ads and social media. Help to cut through all of that and promote the positive aspects of intelligence and honesty.
  • Lead by example – People who have experienced success in their careers owe it to younger workers to be a good role model. Young women starting out will look up to positive role models and want to emulate that successful behavior. You may become their mentor and career buddy as some companies like to create.
  • Support businesses –  Small businesses are vital to our community. Women run small businesses can use the extra support by way of investment, donations, or simply doing business with them.

The first store was started on the Westside of Detroit at the corner of Grand River and Telegraph Road. We started by bringing in flowers by the truckload and selling them at unbeatable prices. Chris and his team discovered that going direct to flower farms and bypassing any middleman, resulted in fresher flowers than other florists in town; and much to our surprise, our flowers were even fresher than the local wholesalers in town. Customers, to this day, come in and comment about the freshness.
