10 THINGS I WISH I KNEW BEFORE BECOMING A FLORIST 

Thank you so much! This is amazing! I really appreciate the support and I will upload another very soon. The next one will be about the funeral brochure xxx

Thank you so much!!! I’m glad you enjoyed and I’ll keep the videos coming xxx

Thank you so much! I really appreciate it. I will keep them coming xxx

Thank you so much lovely! Xxx

Thank you so much!! I need to get back to doing them weekly for sure. I hope it does 💕 xx

Thank you so much! Congrats on your floristry business! Working from home is the way forward for florists these days to make a nice living. So with the pricing I always x my stems by 3 from the price I bought them, this lets me know that the profit, time and skill is properly paid for as well as being able to compete with competition. I would suggest, knowing that you’ve just started and want brand awareness is to have a cheaper bouquet option, using flower like chrysanthemums and carnations arranged beautifully, but these can be sold cheaper. When I first started, I used to sell bouquets on Facebook market place for £15 with free delivery, I lost money, but still now, those people who bought from me when I sold my flowers cheaply still come back now as I formed relationships with them. Make sure you put your face to your work and people will see you as a person not just a florist xx

This is amazing! It’s hard being a one man show isn’t it! I can just about cope, but dread the mess at the end of the day 🤣 then answering the phone when you want to crack on is also a struggle for me! Xxx

Yep, that’s what I did first, the funeral flowers. I found this difficult to get a social media just posting funeral flowers though so I started making big bouquets with the flowers I had for the funerals to grab people’s attention. The best advertisement I found to be instagram and Facebook and posting often on Facebook market place with cheaper prices at first just for brand awareness xxx

I do all my deliveries by hand as the post destroys and the haulage companies always go on strike so people don’t get their flowers until they are dead and it reflects bad on me! It’s not worth it xx

Hi lovely! I think I may have replied to this question before, but I had a cat for years and just put the back seats down lol and the car got really messy so I got a van, but the car still worked. If I needed any other space I asked my family to come with me and fill their cars as well. Anything is possible. My van has been so much easier, but not necessarily xx

Thank you Aimee xxxx
