Monday, September 19, 2016I’m going to do this, I’m going to do right,” she said. “I wanted to do it and I didn’t want to look back.”So far, Samson is wowing her customers and clients with her designs.Barrie Drazen of Hamden said Samson is one of the best creative minds in the industry.“I’ve ordered from her at-least a half a dozen times and each time its been different and I’ve been very pleased,” said Drazen, who has been a customer for three years.She’s very artistic and talented,” he said. “She comes up with these colorful arrangements; it’s not just a bunch of flowers in a vase.”Samson said creativity is essential, because floral design is all emotions.“I could have someone come to me (to make arrangements) for a wedding or a new baby, said Samson. “The next person that calls me might need arrangements for a funeral,” she said. “It’s about making it appealing for the customer and allowing yourself to be creative; we’re artist.”Samson’s designs have been featured in numerous publications including The Connecticut Bride and Moffly Media Publications.One of Samson’s biggest cheerleaders who encouraged her to stick to the path of becoming an entrepreneur was Bliss Bridal owner Jessica Boni.“She was one of our brides when she got married and she’d expressed interest of going into business,” said Boni, who is an avid supporter of female entrepreneurship.Boni said a few months after her wedding, Samson brought an arrangement of flowers to them and said she decided to launch her company.“I’m really super excited for her,” she said. She really is a down-to-earth person which is hugely important in our industries; it’s so emotional.” On the contrary, according to Samson, owning a business has its ups and downs. Her biggest challenge is social media.“I don’t have any employees, it’s all me handling social media,” said Samson. “It’s changing constantly and the new demographics of people that are getting married sooner use different social media platforms.”For now, Samson uses word-of-mouth marketing to promote the business.Samson said it wasn’t long ago, “where we were taking orders on paper.”“I like it where I’m busy enough to have some free time and totally not be under water,” she said.Samson said her favorite part about being a florist is “still”opening a box of flowers, “you appreciate the beauty of them.”Folks wishing to place orders can request a consultation via www.EliseFloral.com or call (203) 952-1397.Reach Community Engagement Editor Shahid Abdul-Karim (203) 680-9343.
