Connie Ferguson got a surprise from the singer and actress Cici and Thabsile. Both ladies gave her a box of red roses and some chocolate. On the card, they wrote the words, “If I had a single flower for every time I think of you. I could walk forever in my garden.” Connie was pleased with the gift. She was so happy that she posted the video on her Instagram page and not on her stories.
Connie also made sure to wish them well on their new business. As we know, entertainment is a fickle industry. One moment you’re at the top, and the next, the industry no longer wants to see you. We saw how Katlego Maboe disappeared from the industry after accusations. We’ve seen how celebrities pass away without having cents to their names. Our stars are advised to time and time again to have backup plans like businesses to fall back on when things get rough.

Cici and Thabsile’s business and success estimation
Amahle Flowers is the name of their new business. Their company is a luxury gifting company. So far, their products are flower bouquets, chocolate, wines and more. Gifting businesses are very lucrative, contrary to popular belief. Firstly, most gifts aren’t expensive, and the customer usually pays for the time spent to out the gifts together. If everything costs R500 on a single gift, the price could be R800 upwards.
People believe that birthdays aren’t every day, and that’s not true. Birthdays are every day, and there are so many events people send each other gifts. There are congratulatory gifts, baby shower gifts and many more.
Celebrities they’ve blessed.
So far, the two entertainers and now entrepreneurs have sent their gifts to Connie Ferguson. Amahle Flowers also attended Londie London’s thirtieth birthday party. Gugu Khathi is one of their lucky recipients as well.
Marketing strategy
Many celebrities use a straightforward marketing strategy when they open business. It’s pretty simple as they send some products to their celebrity friends. Those stars give them exposure when they post their products and get customers.
