Really learned alot this first time selling roses on Vday 2009. It was an eye-opener at the wholesaler, where flowers of all types and from all countries were being sold. the freezing temperature inside where the flowers were kept also amazed me. imagine their air-con bills!!
anws i'm gona list down things to improve on if i were to do this next year
- take flower arrangement lessons to be more pro
- get more contacts, know people who are attached
- go into the business with people you can trust
- get your family's support and help
- plan 2 months ahead and confirm orders 1 month ahead
- marketing should take place 2 months beforehand
- prices cannot be too low since profit will be too low after cancelling overheads
- employ people you can trust
- provide good service by asking the client what they need
