[@candypalmer6285]

Girl! Of all the videos I’ve watched for over a year this has the most necessary information in it! I just knew they were all leaving something out! Thank you for taking the time to make this and you explained everything very well! ❤

[@XquisiteFloral]

You’re welcome. I hate when you watch a video and they tell you half of the information.

[@SSSS-s7x1h]

Thank you so much! I started a floral business 1 year ago. I created a beautiful studio in my basement and business has been sporatic in-spite of excellent reviews from satisfied clients. I didn't know where to begin for advertising. Bless you for sharing this info❤

Hi Mrs. Nia , I absolutely loved your content but wanted to ask if you’re offering any courses regarding starting an at home floral business . It’ll be greatly appreciated!

[@XquisiteFloral]

Hello👋. I don’t have a courses just yet. Check back at the end of the year. I’m trying to get as much information for you guys. I’m working on a new series for florist business at home right now.

[@DelQuanCole]

Hello, is there a way to get a floral design catalog that list what you’ll need and pricing without getting them to create your website?

[@XquisiteFloral]

I am not very sure. I didn’t get one when I started with them.

[@kristinak.4183]

I worked in a flower shop where we used FTD and it was awful! They show these giant arrangements on their website for like $65 with delivery and the actual cost to make something like that in a shop would be easily double. It was such a pain dealing with them

[@XquisiteFloral]

Omg this is so true. I have been doing FTD, Telefloral, and Bloomnet for the past few months so that I can create videos to let everybody know about them because I get a lot of questions. I have been going through it with these companies. Videos coming soon. I’m trying to figure out how Floral shops can make money. That’s the big question. I know for one thing you need a lot of greenery and alsto. A lot of alsto lol.

[@blankiss2025]

@Kristinak.4183 it is soooo true, I worked with Bloomnet for about 6 months and stop, it was just not working for me. Now I have been working with Teleflora for about a year and I'm about to terminate the membership. It's crazy all the fees they charge.

[@tanishamosley5656]

Where do you get the flowers from ?

[@XquisiteFloral]

Downtown Los Angeles flower district. But you can get a resale license and purchase from ibuyflowers.com. Your best bet is to find a local wholesaler in your city.

[@romariobasdeo9840]

Do you have a video how you set up a Floral next ?

[@XquisiteFloral]

Sorry I don’t. But I may create one in the future.

[@floracenteno-chavez6957]

Thank you so much, How do I get a warehouse location? I want work from home but have a warehouse location like you mentioned

[@XquisiteFloral]

So you can get a mailbox address with a Virtual mailbox location. I rent out a mailbox for a location for $39 a month. It makes me look like I have an actual warehouse location, but I don’t. I found a location that was in a warehouse district. But here are some examples www.anytimemailbox.com/

So they pick your designs every picture in the website is what you have to sell or can you add your own pictures

[@XquisiteFloral]

You can add your own pictures.

[@consuela0911]

Hello I need some advice. Just starting to get my website up in running. And the question was. How am I going to do shipping? I have artificial flowers as well as real flowers. What do you suggest that FedEx UPS or should I do it myself?

[@XquisiteFloral]

That’s a good question. I did try shipping but it didn’t turn out so well. I will suggest that’s you look into one of the companies that ships flowers in order from them and basically. Copy their model on a smaller scale. See how they do it. How they package the items. Who they use to ship and go from there. Hope this helps.

[@Mrs.JanaiaLis]

Hi! So what is the price after the first month of $99?

[@XquisiteFloral]

$99

[@jeanillewilliams2102]

Where can I get customized flower boxes????

[@XquisiteFloral]

I would try Alibaba or AliExpress. I purchased my boxes from AliExpress and use my cricket machine to put on my logo.

[@floracenteno-chavez6957]

Is it cheaper to just do a a website on Wix and post pictures of your own arrangements than doing floranext?

[@XquisiteFloral]

Yes it is. If you have the time and the portfolio this is the best way to go. If you don’t have a portfolio, then I would use the premade website.

[@Nina-uh3xz]

Hello! What app/program do you use or how do you track your orders and sales tax etc? I’m currently just a small home business and I’m writing down everything by hand. 😬

[@XquisiteFloral]

Hello Nina, for tax purposes, I use quick book. It’s linked to my business checking account. I’m also able to take pictures of receipts and is stored in the program. For orders, I use three different programs for the Floral Design portion I use HoneyBook and curate. For the Retail portion, I use bloomnation.

[@susielaluna5632]

Do they hold your money like FTD and Telefloral

[@XquisiteFloral]

Nope you get your money the next day. They just basically manage the website.

[@mdenzie6836]

Hi, I love your content. I was looking into floranext after seeing your post but I noticed the products on your shop is bloomnation. How has the experience been and why did you switch?

[@XquisiteFloral]

I want to try out bloomnation for my followers. When I did a consultation with a bloomnation rep, the gentleman said that they help with marketing and SEO. I haven’t experienced anything yet because I’m just getting out of wedding season. I plan to test it in December and see how it works. I’ll keep you guys updated.

[@mdenzie6836]

@@XquisiteFloral thank you for the response. Is their pricing comparable to floranext?

[@XquisiteFloral]

@@mdenzie6836 I plan to do a video next month I’ll keep you updated.

[@zyxnnah]

Did you establish your business as a legal entity or did you take some time making sure it was profitable for you?

[@XquisiteFloral]

I began as a LLC. I wanted to establish business credit and also I didn’t want any liability.

[@partycreationsbyeventdecor4655]

Hi did you know your video at some point it was just silent no voice

[@XquisiteFloral]

Oh no, thanks I will look into it.

Hi 😊

[@XquisiteFloral]

Hello 👋

[@Budgetingeverypenny]

Hi Nia do you still use floranext if so what do you think about it? Right now I have a domain name but I haven’t found anyone to use I was thinking about floranext or bloomnation. I hope to hear back from you.

[@XquisiteFloral]

Hello Fallon, I am switching over to bloomnation next month. They claim they have a better platform. I’ll keep you updated and give you an affiliate link for a discount shortly. I’m currently using Floranext.

[@Budgetingeverypenny]

@@XquisiteFloral thank you. I received a call from Hana today I was also considering their services. But I don’t see a ton of reviews.

[@Speakupok]

How can i get a resale license?

[@XquisiteFloral]

You would need to check you location state. Best to Google it. “Resales permit in your state”.

[@Speakupok]

@@XquisiteFloral God bless you for sharing your information.

[@ssteele1093]

I need to talk with you if that’s okay. I need advice

[@XquisiteFloral]

Sure! I’ll send you a link to my schedule. Please email me.

[@sereezyyy7068]

How much u made a year for doing this

[@XquisiteFloral]

This is not my primary source of income. So I don’t make that much but if you make it your primary source and can sell 10 arrangements a day which is on the low side, you can make about 350,000 a year.

[@doraayalacastro5380]

Do you need to do your own marketing ?

[@XquisiteFloral]

Yes you do. They offer email marketing but you have to get the emails.

[@showmuchlove]

Quick floral bloom nation door dash viral office everything online ( floral next)

[@XquisiteFloral]

Yes no high retail shop. People don’t go into retail shops anymore. They usually do everything online every now and then you’ll get a call.
