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's the Technical Information for your 7 Step Flower Shop Business
Plan:
You will receive 3 separate files. They will all be in ONE downloadable,
zip file. The three files you will receive are:
A pdf file.Your Workbook. I hesitate to call it an "instruction book",
but it is stuffed with all the information you need to create a dynamic
flower shop business plan, rapidly and easily. 90+ pages.
A Microsoft Word file.
Your Template.
This is the actual template that you
will use for the text of your retail business plan. You can change it,
switch it, mess it up, or use it just as it is. Use all the formatting
tools in MS Word that you already know. 16 pages
A Microsoft Excel file.
Your Financials. This is the actual set of
financial summaries that you will use in your flower shop business plan. You can add,
delete, mess it up -- or format it -- with all the tools in MS Excel.

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.
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.
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.
Sal and Harry
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.

What a way to go! Our
own business. And it is soooo possible.
