How To Sell My Florist Business

Sell My Florist Business

The emphasis of your business has to be the flowers!

Maximise the Value of Your Florist:

  1. Charge for every service. Time and product cost money
  2. Have a number of well-priced suppliers.
  3. Buy what’s in season and flog it! Be creative with your purchasing.
  4. Use the best-priced flowers as much as possible in all arrangements.
  5. Bargain the price with your suppliers. Remember, they need you as much as you need them!
  6. Diversify. Stock associated products to give yourself another income stream.
  7. Offer weekly specials.
  8. Upsell.
  9. Alliances with other businesses can ensure a steady stream of business. Go out and form these unions.
  10. Have a website. Allowing customers to order online is cost-effective in both terms of labour costs and ordering supplies.
  11. When special event days such as Mother’s Day and Valentine’s Day come around, plan ahead. Have pre-made arrangements ready for sale, this saves on labour costs during busy times.
  12. Sell un-arranged flowers.
  13. Stock a variety of price points.
  14. Focus on the profitable, not your dream of offering beautiful arrangements! Labour costs can be your downfall.
  15. Become a specialist in wedding arrangements.
  16. Promote promote promote!

Heidi Dening Testimonials - Work with BCI Business Brokers
I sold my business for the price, terms and hand-over that I wanted, and it was all because of Tony. His decades of experience and excellent people skills gave me confidence, reassurance and guidance throughout the entire process. He had a very clear system on what was the best method to sell my business and from start to finish he was the expert in every way. It wasn’t till after I had started the process that I realised that I could never have done this by myself, without completely losing the plot!!! His honesty and trustworthiness completely relieved the stress and pressure, and I couldn’t recommend him enough.
For 20 years plus I have seen the results of Tony’s business and the professional way he handles his clients….....
