Maximizing Flower Farming Profits at the Mother's Day Market

Shifting Blooms is back for it's fourth year of providing local flowers for the Saskatoon area. First up--The Sask Maker Sale! It's a pop up market on Mother's Day weekend that features local makers and artisans. This year I'm coming to the sale with over twice the amount of bouquets and feeling confident about maximizing my sales. Will I be able to sell over a $1000? And will my tulips bloom on time so I don't have to purchase wholesale flowers? Will the little upgrades to my business make a difference?

[@thiabrabson2533]

Your bouquets were beautiful💚🌺🌷🌸🌹🌼

[@radmilamiljanic5977]

I'm delighted to be enjoying your lovely bouquets again:))) All of the set looks so Victorian to me: pastel colors with golden accent, so tender, but playful! Brava! And the giggle at the end, oh my!!!

[@ShiftingRoots]

Thank you! And I just adore her little giggle. It’s so sweet.

[@ourlittlegingerbreadhouse6000]

Loved the video! Thanks for sharing how it went! ❤

[@daniellehowg3059]

I have a small shrub that looks like the pink buds, it's a flowering almond and grows like a weed, blooms for a week in May every year.

[@gene7733]

hey Kristin, did you think about daffodils for your market bouquets. There is some lovely double varieties ( not bright yellow but in the peach apricot tones... I love daffodils. You plant them once and enjoy them for the rest of your life without any special care. I am in the Laurantians, Quebec, zone 3. Love your channel

[@ShiftingRoots]

I would love to have daffodils! I’ve tried twice now, and they don’t seem to like my soil. I’m not sure what I’m doing wrong!

[@sarahayton7223]

Lovely video Kristen, and great flowers. Is the baby Julia? If do, she's really growing up 😊

[@ShiftingRoots]

It is! And she sure it growing up. She's even started walking.

[@altheab.8907]

Lovely bouquets, Kristen. I really like the new pastel and white paper. Makes the flowers look so much more appealing. Definitely work on the coupon. Got to specify one per purchase and an amount of purchase. Wedding book is great. People can look to see what you’ve done and take a card. When you do the markets do you bring supplies with you so that if the higher priced bouquets don’t sell you can break them down to smaller ones? Might be something to think about.

[@ShiftingRoots]

I always bring supplies! I usually bring extra loose flowers too, but I didn’t have any extra this time. I made tons of $10 bouquets this year because last year my $97 didn’t sell and I was breaking it up.

[@rosefrank148]

How do you wrap the paper around your flower bouquets. There is a very quick glimpse on “short”. Day 21 of 100 bouquets.

[@halbrauncertifiedtherapist2426]

How much would you charge for a boutinere

[@championdreamer_5]

Hi Kristen! Thanks for the helpful info. Im just getting started into this. Were would you suggest ording flowers in for early events like mothers day since i live in a cold climate too. Do you order from local florist? Online somewhere?

[@championdreamer_5]

Maybe you mentioned it in the video too. I have littles and was watching off and on ☺️☺️

[@ShiftingRoots]

I didn’t! I got the majority from Costco, but I also have a wholesale account.

[@championdreamer_5]

@@ShiftingRoots thanks so much for the info! Your channel is so helpful! 💖

[@EvelynM-vlogs]

$5 off a purchase of $40 or more, one coupon per customer. Psychologically this is better than 10%.

[@ShiftingRoots]

Thank you!
