You're a joy! I'm a relatively new floral designer and this was absolutely wonderful and easy. I've been using this method and it's just so easy and straightforward. Also, thank you for encouraging and enforcing our worth as artist!
Hey there, thank you for your helpful info!!! My husband, daughter, and I have a garden of lupine, snap dragons, zinnias, yarrow, and bee balm! A local resort wants our flowers, as arranged bouquets in a variety of vases. They want small, medium, and large bouquets, in addition to small mason jars (with 3 - 5 flowers in each) for the large u-shaped bar. Any ideas of who I could consult of how to charge, given that it's not us buying wholesale, but what we have in our garden. We bought the plants, tilled the garden, planted the garden, and will have to weed the garden, pick the flowers, and design the arrangements. Thanks, Kitty
This is so helpful! I’m always too shy or doesn’t have enough confidence to charge enough. Thank you so much for sharing your experience to help others do well or better.
I'm so glad it's helpful. I also learned that the first time is the hardest but once you land that first client at full price you can start to see how much of it is all in our heads 😋
That was very straightforward presentation and I appreciated it. How would you adjust the pricing model when you are growing the flowers and arranging them and selling them?
I’d follow exactly the same approach in terms of the markup - and price the flowers the same as other growers / wholesalers in the area (possibly add a premium if you know the quality of your flowers is better than at the wholesalers) 🥰
Love your videos. Wondering how you factor in rentals for your quotes. i.e. urns, pedestals, arches and the like. Is that part of your wholesale cost, is there a different mark up denominator, or do you pass on just the exact cost?
I'm so grateful for all of your videos! Thankyou!se I'm currently struggling [along with all of you no doubt] with the rise in wholesale flower prices. I'm looking at your examples of pricing formulas, based on todays flower prices, and I'm dreading sending the quotes off to my brides! Any advice?
You’re definitely not the only one! As a business coach, I’d ask you to go one layer deeper - the sense of dread, what is the thought leading to that feeling? Is it a fear of what they’ll say? Is it the rejection that might follow? Get super curious and go one step deeper. 😌 I’d love to hear what you come back with too.
@@LittleBirdBloom thanks for replying! I think it's a result of repeated nock-backs because of the price. I've stuck to the pricing model, and I don't back down, but it's kinda disappointing to have people assume you're only out to rip someone off.
When you give your bride the bill, how do you break down the costs to include tax? Do you show labor, cost of goods flowers and sundries? Do you have a sample of a bill that you presented?
Oh good question. Our invoices break down each item we’re delivering (I.e. bouquet, corsage, table arrangement) and then show the tax and total owing - they actually look like any invoice any other non-flowering business would send. The breakdown of COGS, labour, hard goods is kept all behind the scenes and we keep track of it in our operations and budgeting. I like to think of it like going to a restaurant. We don’t know how much of our total bill goes into food vs rent vs staff costs - that’s up to the restaurant to manage. We just get a bill for $50, with a breakdown items and told to pay the bill. Hopefully that’s makes sense but don’t hesitate to reach out 💖

@@LittleBirdBloom Thank you very much. I am just getting starting, so I am at the very initial steps...even in terms of officially learning design. I am definitely interested and will join when I am in a position to financially. Thank you so much. Many blessings.
Generally speaking, the guide I like to follow is about 20% of the total budget goes to wholesale flowers - it's not exact but it's a great place to start.

Hi Irene, thank you so much! We are so happy to have you here 🌺
Would you use a 3 time markup for silk flowers as well? I was taught (back in the day) to only double the markup for silk flowers. Thank you.
I don't know much about marketing up silks but I would mark up at least twice and knowing me, I'd aim for x 3 🤗
@@LittleBirdBloom Thank you!

I like to calculate hire items (and setup) separately from the design and general rule I follow is 1/3 of the retail price = hire fee. 🥳

Hi! I am wondering if you have a sample quote. It helps me to see example numbers. Thanks so much!
Yes I do! I've got a whole folder filled with templates and resources - you can grab it here forflorists.com/allthethings

Is this pricing the same for artificial flowers I make beautiful arrangements but unsure if pricing is the same as real flowers
Might be?!? I’m thinking there’s no downside to just following the same formula 🥳
So if a client says I have a budget of $3,000.00 how do you break that down to know $ amount of flowers you can buy and to make a good profit
Generally speaking, the guide I like to follow is about 20% of the total budget goes to wholesale flowers - it's not exact but it's a great place to start.
Thank you so much for this information

Very interesting
