Don’t Pay for Wire Service, You Can Get the Same Service for Free
Retail florists, oftentimes it is hard to make a profit, let alone a living. In today’s economic times, especially with the inflation and high prices of fuel their flower wholesalers have to raise their prices to cover expenses.
They’ve tried using the wire services to increase sales, selling more flowers, but often this just makes things worse.
The problem with the wire services is there are just too many hidden fees; yes they do bring in more sales but not enough to cover what they cost. You have to sell hundreds of dollars worth of flowers just to pay their fees. Then to top it off you have to give them a percentage for every sale they bring in.
A successful retail florist in today’s economic times requires three things:
1. Increase sales without increasing overhead.
2. Offer their customers a superior, longer lasting product at less cost.
3. Have access to a directory of florists in every city in the United States.
For over twenty years, Lewiston Wholesale Flowers owner, Robert Ashby, has struggled trying to sell flowers in a retail business. He has tried every resource available to make a simple living, doing what he loved, making arrangements and bringing joy to others with the simple beauty of flowers. When a friend in the flower business suggested he become his own wholesaler. Rob was skeptical at first but after many years of acquiring contacts and late nights at the office, he finally started to succeed. Today Rob owns the largest flower supply company on the internet with the largest florist to florist network across the United States, connecting more florists across the US than any wire service ever thought about.
