Would you believe that Admin Professionals Day (formerly known as Secretaries’ Day) is now in its fiftieth year? Think about how the job description has changed over the years. Long ago, a secretary worked for one person, took notes in shorthand and typed on a (maybe electric) typewriter.
Now the Administrative Professional often works for three or four people, managing their schedules, making purchasing decisions and corresponding about technical subjects through many media. Multi-tasking, prioritzing, keeping many balls in the air… whatever description you use, these are true professionals!
What is the best way to acknowledge their support? Frequent, heartfelt words of appreciation are a start.
The week of April 22 – 28 is Administrative Professionals Week, and Wednesday, April 25 is Administrative Professionals Day. At this time, there should be more than just words. A token of appreciation, like lunch or gift cards? We think flowers are the best choice!
Lunch lasts for an hour or so, then it’s over. Gift cards are nice, but you have to shop at the store issuing the card (when there is time for shopping). Our flowers last for at least a week. Their bright colours make people happy. Their scent wafts through the area, making the environment more pleasant. The blooms open a little more every day, and the arrangement changes a little every day. It is always interesting and draws the eye. Even with this early spring, there aren’t enough colours outside, so having flowers delivered brings an instant smile.
What flowers do we suggest? If you have one Admin Professional serving several people, a larger arrangement is suitable – perhaps something like Fly Me to the Moon with tropical Birds of Paradise. Here’s a photo:
Do you have a few people to acknowledge? How about something smaller like Jitterbug?

Vibrant colours make this one stand out!
Now for the office that has many people to honour in a cost-effective way, something like Morning Dew:
We do have bud vase designs starting from $14.95 each… but this is so unique, and only $29.95. The garden rose has a soft fragrance, and we can change the colour to orange, white or yellow if you prefer.
Just give us a call – we’ll help you express your appreciation, and make you look like a thoughtful, stylish boss at the same time:)
