Guide To Starting A Business: Opening A Small Florist To Earn Tens Of Thousands Of Dollars Per Month

In August 19th, Valentine's day has not yet arrived, and florists are already busy opening up business opportunities.

Reporters visited a number of florists learned that investing tens of thousands of yuan to open a flower shop, is also a good venture project, good location and prosperous business can earn up to $10000 per month.

In, a reporter at a flower shop in Xinzhou saw that in addition to flowers, the store was also full of money trees, potted flowers and various kinds of water culture flowers. Different styles of vases were also placed on the shelves. From time to time, people would visit the shops or buy flowers.

Ms. Huang, owner of the shop, told reporters that because her brother had been doing business for more than 10 years, the flower shop has been doing well. This year, she also came to Shenzhen to start a flower shop.

Ms. Huang said that since the flower shop opened in May 1st, more and more familiar customers, her small business is also doing better.

In addition to starting the reservation of the "seventh day festival" flowers, these days, more than a few days, more goods were entered, mainly some exquisite corrugated paper, gold paper and other wrapping paper, and colorful ribbons.

She told reporters that the flowers and potted flowers stored in the store range from several yuan to more than 300 yuan, with a total value of more than 10 thousand yuan.

Ms. Huang told reporters that she had invested 50 thousand yuan in opening the flower shop, including 25 thousand yuan for the pfer of the shop, 7000 yuan for decoration, 10 thousand yuan for the store rent and the deposit, and the rest of the thousands of dollars were basically in the money.

"The monthly store rent is more than 3000 yuan, plus business, health and water and electricity costs, the monthly cost is about 4000 yuan."

She said that because of their experience in flower shop management, florists opened their stores only 3 months ago, and they have already achieved the state of capital preservation. "I believe that business will become better and better in the future".

When it comes to florist business, Ms Wong said that only by making the price lower than others and the quality and service better than others can we win more customers.

"There are 6 flower shops in Xinzhou area. Our flowers are the cheapest."

She told reporters that with some florists receiving goods directly in Shenzhen, her flowers are directly imported from Guangzhou, and prices will be relatively low.

Mr. Mo, a flower shop owner of Fumin Road, told reporters that florists should not only do business nearby, but also make good use of network resources to place orders online.

Now many florists have increased many orders by joining online florists.

However, cooperation with the website can not avoid a problem. The cost of famous websites is too high, which is two thousand or three thousand yuan per month. Some small websites can not bring enough orders due to their low reputation.

"Smaller stores are more receptive to order sharing than fixed fixed fees, but now they are more powerful."

Mr. Mo said.

Ms. Huang told the reporters that the customers of flower shops mainly include several aspects: first, family arrangement and usual gifts; two, the demand for flowers by the flower arrangement of hotels and companies, and the rental of flowers. Many companies hire some potted flowers and plants from florists to maintain their offices, which are maintained by florists.

"For example, 10 potted plants, we will charge a monthly maintenance fee of about 300 yuan."

In contrast, hotels, hospitals, and commercial areas are more suitable for location selection because they may receive many company orders.

The business of urban villages is worse, but the cost of opening shops is relatively low.

Ms. Huang also told reporters that her brother opened a florist in Luohu Dongmen commercial street, with a monthly rent of 12 thousand yuan.

But because of the company's orders, it can earn more than 10 thousand yuan per month.

In order to satisfy customers, Mr. moo said that the bouquet packaging material is good and the sculpt is very important.

As for the location of the storefront, it depends on the conditions of each person.

"For example, people who dare to take risks can set up shop in the areas where commercial streets and office buildings are concentrated, and the income may also be great. People with the general economic strength are more suitable to store their stores near the lower cost villages.

At the same time, the flower shop is newly opened because of the lack of customer base, and it needs to take the initiative to find customers.

For example, take the initiative to get in touch with the surrounding hotels and companies, and seize some company orders at a more favorable price.
