Is delivery driving for flower shops a thing? I am not a florist, but I won a cargo van. I would love to specialize in delivering flowers for florists. Do you think that could be profitable? Do florists typically do their own transporting, or do you think that some could use the help?

Florists do usually have a delivery driver for their shop, but you might have a unique idea here if there are multiple shops in your area who need a reliable driver! I know some use Door Dash now as well, so things change....it may be worth asking a florist or two in town what they think of your idea. Real feedback if so helpful in shaping your offer!

If I was to ribbon the stems, how do you stop the water from the damp paper towel from wetting the ribbon?
@realflowerbusiness
@realflowerbusiness 4 ай бұрын
If you use ribbon it will definitely get wet, just like the flowers! So I'd skip the ribbon or add it later...or use a ribbon that will look OK after it gets wet and doesn't show spots. (I haven't used ribbon on corsages in years, but it's a good questions because it will get wet!)

That's great! I think as long as your efforts around marketing aren't draining your energy, then have fun with the reels. (I tend to resent the 30-45 minutes I spend sometimes to get that perfect 90 second or less, but it can be satisfying once it's done IF it starts a conversation or encourages folks to buy!)

And at the end of the day, we need to have a differentiator that unique to our human brand!
