Excerpt from the Workbook 7 Step Business Plan for Flower Shop:

It takes more than creativity, more than a flower shop business plan, to make your businesses a success. It takes a lot of planning, a lot of hard work, and a lot of luck.

KEY CONSIDERATION

There are lots of florist shops in most parts of the world. There are few really successful ones. There is no school you can go to to learn to operate a florist shop. But you can apprentice yourself in that business -- and that's not a bad idea.

STRONGEST ADVANTAGE

When you can demonstrate the strength of your marketing skills, you set yourself head and shoulders above competitors. It's more than placing an ad in the Yellow Pages. It's more than running a few ads in the local newspaper. It is a full fledged, consistent program of promotion that will determine your success.

STRONGEST DISADVANTAGE

Unless you have direct, measurable success in the floral industry, bankers will assume that you are going to fail. Without setting out your written flower shop business plan, with marketing information and financials, you will have a tough time.

OVERCOMING THE DISADVANTAGE WITH YOUR FLOWER SHOP BUSINESS PLAN

Strut Your Stuff

Whatever your direct experience is, bring it front and forward. Yes, you need floral design capability. But do you also know how to reach the wedding market effectively? or the funeral market? or the Mother's Day market?

FOR ADDITIONAL INFORMATION FOR YOUR RETAIL FLORIST BUSINESS PLAN AND YOUR FLORAL BUSINESS MARKETING PLAN

For traffic information on your retail location, contact the owner/manager of the retail center. Also go to your city or county planning department where you can get traffic counts and information on housing and construction in that area. The flower shop business plan must include strong demographic information (see below for more on demographics) as well as strong financials.

For statistical information for your marketing plan for a floral business, go to BizMiner.  Having solid statistical information is critical in your flower shop business plan. Bankers pretty much assume that you are artistic; and they also assume you don't know business.

At the home page of BizMiner, look for the Search box. Enter "florist".

You will be taken to a page that gives you a choice of several businesses in this sector, including:

  • Florists' green and flowers
  • Florists' green, cultivated
  • Pottery florists' articles
  • Flowers and florists supplies
  • Florists' supplies
  • Florists
  • Florist telegraph service

Choose the option that best suits your business. For each specific type of business, there is both a Financial Analysis and Marketing Research. These two reports will let you really wow the lender with your knowledge of how the business side of the business operates. That, combined with your artistic talent, and you are home free!

Be sure to look at the left side of that page for VIEW ALL REPORTS, where you will find DEMOGRAPHICS compiled from US Census statistics. This is the information that your banker will be working with, so know what it says before you meet your banker.

Your creative talent will shine in your new business!  Use this flower shop business plan to its full advantage.

Here is a sampling of the reviews:

business plan for floral business
Nylena S.

I thought a business plan was a stuffy document with lots of figures and stuff.  I am so glad that you showed me how I can use my flowers in my plan.  It really makes it so much more personal for me.

business plan for floral business
Charley McGoverness of Westlake, Idaho

The last time I got financing I barely needed three pages.  This time my banker wanted a business plan.  I am glad I stumbled on your site.  I can't imagine why bankers need so much information when they've known us for years.  Go figure.  But we got it done, and the banks happy.  I guess that's the important part.

business plan for floral business
Vicki Yamahashi of California

Hi, I'm from northern California.  The floral market here has been challenged by product from overseas for a number of years now and we knew we had to make serious changes in our greenhouses in order to compete.  We finally bit the bullet and put together a business plan.  My only complaint about your 7 Step Business Plan for a Flower Shop is that there is so much information in it.  It would have been nice if we could have gotten a plan just for greenhouses with $X sales per year.  But we figured it out.  In fact, going through the process was good for the whole company.  My sister, my partner, even discovered a new supplier that we hadn't known about.

It works good.

We are retiring now, earlier than we expected.  We still need to generate some income, so we browsed your site for ideas.  Our property happens to border a main street into town, and there is a place where people can pull in, like a fruit stand.  Instead of fruit (or lemonade) we are creating a jewel of a store with our miniature roses.  What a wonderful way to spend our semi-retirement!

Martina Felipe

I don't know much English.  But I know flowers and how to make them look pretty.  I studied your instructions.  Then I took lots of pictures of my flowers.  And I told about me and business.  The part with the numbers was hard, but a friend helped me.  So now I have a flower store, and I can deliver them anywhere in all of the town.
