Posted by Steven on October 25, 2012

This week, we were honored to be named one of Business Insider's 25 Coolest New Businesses in Chicago. What a great surprise and true privilege! This is our biggest publicity to date and we are thrilled to share it with our loyal clients, fans, and supporters. Below is a snapshot of the longer article online:

Please share with all in and around your circle! In just a day, we've already seen the rankings liked on Facebook 900 times, retweeted 150 times, and shared on LinkedIn 85 times. But we need each of you to help us gather more momentum and a larger audience to grow the movement and impact our students and schools around Chicagoland. Hope you enjoy the story. And again thank you for all the support to this point.


The New Website!

After months of anticipation, we've finally redeveloped, rebranded, and perfected our entire website. Growth is good.. but it wasn't for our old site. The ecommerce platform had trouble with the increasing demand for arrangements and online ordering. We had to do something! So we spent a lot of time improving the userability for all our loyal clients, supporters, and dreamers alike.

We think its better than ever. But you be the judge.

We're premiering new pages such as a huge floral Portfolio and the Dreams Blog for you to stay up to date with everything going on. We've expanded our Gifts component with more expert designers, and have increased versatility of the Designer's Choice arrangements (our most popular). 

Finally, our beloved School Partners have their very own place to go to register each and every event. Event Coordinators, PTA, Caterers, let us know how we can make it better and we'll step to it.

All in all, we're eager to present you our new and improved look. And to show this excitment, don't miss out on our 25% discount code: DREAMS1 when you send a gift. But do it fast! In 48 hours, the promotion ends.. Enjoy the site! And tell a friend or two about the cause.

Thanks for your continued support,
