Good morning, so I wanted to share something. I want to inform people as much as possible of things about the flower industry in hopes it helps us both. We try hard as a small business to assist everybody and try to be as helpful as possible with that being said we had a customer yesterday that wanted Flowers sent to Knoxville.. so my daughter took the order and I began calling folks. My customer wanted something very simple. After calling several Florist, I was in shock most have a $75 minimum that they deliver with a $16.50 delivery fee whether it 2 miles or 10……WOW!  I specifically heard the lady ask the designer how much 4 roses and daisies were she said $40-45 but then when the lady came back to me she said we have a $75 minimum so we will put 3 stems of daisies and 4 roses and solidago in it for that!!!!!! 😳😳😡
I understand making a profit but oh my word! Some things have gotten outrageous for my cost and that is why I offer so many options. I have struggled with increasing prices on some things.
I love my flower shop in my small county. Now this is where I am so thankful to the Lord because I did not go into this business to become rich. I felt like this was going to be my little ministry.
So my word of advice is if you want to order flowers from another state or County, please call around and ask lots of questions .
1. I want to spend $
What can I get for this?
2. Delivery fee?
3. Include taxes in your overall price because those can creep up on you?
4. Is there an additional charge for a debit card?
5. WILL YOU SEND ME A PICTURE OF THE FINISHED PRODUCT( if possible)
Thanks, I hope my little Tuesday tidbit helps you.
The picture is just to grab your attention but it’s so cute!!🤣 have a blessed day.
