Pricing Resources For Retail Florists – Be More Profitable

Resources to help florists be more profitable by taking advantage of powerful and proven developments in pricing from the field of yield/revenue management.

The cost-plus used by most florists is a proven approach to pricing but recent developments in the field of yield/revenue management have taken things further with the realization that your costs have little to do with what the customer is willing to pay. Choosing to instead align for your prices with the value that customers place on your product unlocks more sales and higher profits.

These advances were initiated by other industries that also deal in highly perishable products and peak seasons – the travel industry. Most people want to travel during the same periods each year. The unsold airline seat, the empty hotel room... these represent spoiled inventory. The person that paid less for the flight than the maximum they were prepared to spend represents money left on the table.

It's a lot like the flower business, and these companies, with the aid of huge research budgets and input from psychologists, behavioural economists and accountants came up with new pricing models that generated greater revenues and larger profits.

They were followed by the restaurant business and eventually the discipline of yield/revenue management spread until it became the secret weapon and standard practice of almost all large successful companies.

This section links to resources designed to help florists apply these same tactics to their own pricing.

Beyond Cost Plus

This site, sponsored by FloristWare, takes detailed look at a wide variety of modern pricing practices, but with special focus on how they can be employed by retail florists to develop a more profitable pricing strategy.

For the longest time I thought a POS was there to organize orders and run reports; boy was I wrong. After looking at FloristWare, I now know that the greatest feature a POS should have is a marketing solution that makes money for me. After useing or testing other floral point of sales, FloristWare's marketing features are amazing, easy to use and is a lot easier to train new staff to use than other systems I have tried. One bad thing about FloristWare is, I lay in bed at night excited coming up with new marketing ideas with my wife and I am losing a lot of sleep. :)

So as you know we are moving and I wanted to let our customers know. I used your marketing solution to print our cards after I query a list of whom I want. Since there is a lady in the room Mark, I won't use bad words, but I will say... OMFG THIS IS AWESOME! :) Thanks for a kick-ass florist solution, I have my 1000 post cards done in under 30 min.
