How To Thrive As A Bellevue Florist

By Eric Martin


Most people get delighted when they are handed a bouquet of flowers. It might be the vibrant colors, the amazing scents, or even how fragile these blooms look. However, not everyone can arrange a stunning bouquet and for this, you need a Bellevue florist. There are certain traits that make one person better than another at doing this.

A love for nature is one of these traits. In order for you to deal with flowers, you need to understand them well. This will mean knowing which blooms are available during which months, which species are poisonous, and which kind need special attention. A good understanding of your trade will make you confident in your skills, and this will attract people to you.

Selling flowers is not all about clipping and wrapping them. You need to understand how to coordinate the blooms in terms of color, and types. This will need a keen and creative eye. If you always put roses with carnations, this arrangement will quickly bore your clients. You, therefore, need to be creative and bold enough to try new ideas.

Although you will be surrounded by plants almost all day, you also need to understand people. This way you will not only be able to sell your items, but also to tell what a particular person needs. Most people only know the common flowers, and therefore, it is up to you to make them an arrangement that matches their mood, or suits the occasion.

Your location is another thing you have to carefully consider. Most people buy flowers impulsively, or when trying to apologize for something. With this in mind, it is better to set up shop along a street that has many commuters. Regardless of where you are, you have to market your wares. These days, this can easily be done on social media and online. A strong online presence will make it easy for potential customers to find you. It will also allow your happy clientele to leave their reviews.

When you deal with natural products, you need to find a way to maximize your sales before they go bad. This also applies with blooms. This might compel you to set very low prices to encourage sales, or very high ones, to compensate for the losses. Before you decide on your charges, browse other shops in the area, to determine an estimate.

This business has high and low seasons. In order to keep your shop open, you should consider diversifying what you sell. You can include little knickknacks like vases, cards, and other decorative features. This way even if a customer walks in and decides not to pick a bloom they can still leave with something else.

Even if you might view other florists as the competition, it is good to network with them. This allows you to stay in the loop on any changes in the business, and even to share tips on how to grow your individual ventures. Sometimes, you might even find that a particular shop owner is flooded with work and may refer some people to you.
