What started out as a way to make our booth look better and draw in more people turned out to be just what we needed to turn our business from bad to a profitable business.
We took some old mason jars wrapped colored paper around them put a bow on them and added some of our paper flowers to make a floral arrangement and placed several of these on the booth table. We made several other arrangements tied ribbons around them and placed them around our booth for decorations. When we opened up our booth people started looking at the flowers as usual but then got to asking us how much for this arrangement, you don’t have a price on it.
This is when it dawned on us that people were either lazy or didn’t know how to do flower arrangements. So from that point on we started doing floral arrangements.
We found that we could buy cheap vases add a ribbon and make a floral arangement and could charge a lot more money for these than just what we would get for the flowers by themselves.
So if you are going to sell your paper flower creations make them into arrangements for sale rather then trying to sell them individually. You will be able to charge more money and make greater profits by doing this.
We wish you the best of luck in your new business and if you don’t know how to do flower arrangements take a course in it, we did and it improved our sales. We learned a lot of little tricks along the way to help improve out sales and we will be sharing them from time to time so please stay tuned.
