Floral Bouquet – Treating Someone Special On Friday – Could it beYou?
So, it’s another Friday…yippee, yay! I say treat yourself, or someone special, to a nice floral bouquet to kick-start the weekend on the right footing. Add that burst of freshness and color to your life. It will provide a sense of renewal, energy, and reminder to make the most of the upcoming fantastic weekend.
As a floral shop owner, Friday’s are not just another busy day. It is a day to assess that week’s activities, sales, and upcoming projects for the next week and beyond. Part of this assessment includes analyzing and evaluating the inventory of flowers remaining in the cooler. Left over flowers make perfect stems for creating a lovely floral bouquet which can be sold as Friday specials.
A good florist plans to have 95% plus of their flowers consumed each week, with minimal waste. Keeping waste down to a minimum means lower expenses and higher profits. However, even the best of the best sometimes can not predict nor achieve such a high rate of consumption each week due to external factors and circumstances beyond their control.
An even better florist will find a way to utilize 99% of their flowers each week no matter what the circumstances or external factors may be. This includes the ability to find creative ways to move flowers left in the cooler on a Friday to make room for the fresh deliveries in the upcoming week.
One way florists do this is by creating pre-made floral bouquets and placing them in buckets to be sold as “grab-n-go” pieces. This approach is a great strategy, especially on Fridays. The “grab-n-go” floral bouquet is extremely convenient for the busy person that doesn’t have extra time to wait for a custom creation.
Offering a beautiful floral bouquet, that is pre-made with special wrapping to people on Friday’s is a smart strategy to move any left over flowers for the week. The customer is still getting fresh flowers because they have been treated properly and stored correctly to insure longevity. A floral bouquet from the florist will last longer than those purchased elsewhere just by virtue of the fact that the flowers have been taken care of properly.
So, I say – TREAT YOURSELF SPECIAL on Friday! Purchase a nice floral bouquet from your local florist. You deserve it, and you will enjoy the floral bouquet for the entire weekend.
