Flower Arrangements – Of course, when you think of vases, you think of what flowers come in. Vases convey the theme of your flower arrangement. It ties everything together and completes the look. You can choose from various styles, colors and designs to feature in your store. It’s best to have a wide variety, especially if you’re a flower shop, since you never know what a customer may need. However, floral vases aren’t limited to just flower shops. Customers love to use vases as home accents too.

Home Decor – Again, don’t just think of vases for flower arrangements. Sure, they’re great for that. However, they can also complete the look of a room. Larger vases are great for the home. You can place them in corners and fill them with bamboo sticks or larger branches. Also, smaller vases make great decorative items to place out around bookshelves, end tables or coffee tables. Vases come in various colors, styles and feature beautiful designs. So, your customers just have to find the one that’s more suited towards their style. Take a look at Skalny. They have beautiful designs that feature ceramic vases in various styles. A rustic fish, stainless steel, decorative wine glass vase and their martini vase are all gorgeous and make wonderful home accents. Fill them with flowers, ornaments or beads.

The Outdoors – A great place to use vases are outdoors. Use containers or vases for decorative pieces to liven up any outdoor space. Use larger planters in bright colors for the spring and summer months. Plant flowers, foliage or even herbs in them to make them useful.

Get Ready for Spring with Flowers

by Leave a Comment

Yes, we are just now trying to get through the holidays. However, it’s time to start planning out your inventory for spring. What will you carry? Do you know what’s on trend for the upcoming season? It’s important to know all of these details before investing your time and money in products for your store. You need to know your store trends as well. What do your customers normally want around that season? One item that will be on their mind is flowers. There are many ways to display them, as well as cross sell them with other items. So, FGmarket has our tips on getting your flowers ready for spring.

Finding The Right Flowers

Fresh Flowers
First off, you need fresh flowers or even silk flowers that are great for springtime. The main key is to know what type of flowers are great for this weather. Get the right colors for this time and are right for the weather so they’ll grow properly and give off the vibe of spring. Of course, you can visit FGmarket and check out all the great fresh flower wholesale suppliers.

The Right Accessories

Along with beautiful flowers, you must also have the right accessories to go along with them in your store. So, what accessories go with flowers? Of course, the tools like watering systems and gardening products. However, you can also play up the flowers with the right accessories. Ribbon, vases, containers and garden decor make flowers stand out even more, especially in the warmer weather when everyone is outside and can see the decor.

What Can Vases Provide To Flowers? Vases & containers display your flowers in a truly unique way. Your customers can choose the color and style of vases and containers that match their style and the flower. They add your style even more to your indoor space or outdoor space. If you’re going for a theme within your flowers, like zen or just a color scheme, vases or containers can help convey that as well.

Glazed Containers
Tying It All Together –Along with beautiful vases, ribbon can create a wonderful arrangement as well. Having the addition of a bow is great to any flower arrangement. Tie it around a vase and there you go. It definitely adds to the theme of your flower arrangement. For example, if you are creating a Valentine’s Day arrangement, a nice big red bow is great to tie around the vase.

Garden Decor – However, if your customers aren’t looking for arrangements, but are looking to spruce up their garden, garden decor is definitely the way to go. From yard stakes to flags; these items definitely add a nice statement to any garden. A great gazing ball, wind chimes, bird feeders, garden topiaries, lighting, fountains and patio furniture are nice touches to your customer’s outdoor space. There are lots of ideas to offer your customers. Just take note of your target market and offer a bit of variety since not everyone shares the same style.

So, get your store ready for spring with beautiful flowers and great accessories. It’ll be here before you know it and it’s always best to plan ahead!

Make Your Floral Supplies Stars!

by Leave a Comment

How much thought have you given plush toys, balloons, ribbons, containers and baskets over the past year? These items are often thought of only as supporting characters in the floral or gift shop. Pushing these floral supplies to the front of the stage and making them the stars of your shop can present a whole new marketing opportunity.

To do this you not only need to look at new vendors, but also prices points, unique ways to use them and upcoming trends.

Balloons: Don’t Just Blow Them Up

Love Bird Balloon
Most shops just sell the standard happy birthday, anniversary or get-well balloons. This doesn’t allow the balloon business  to really take flight.

Balloons have great potential. They can be used as decorations, given as gifts or as an accompaniment to other products.

Because balloons come in so many colors and shapes, they can be used for centerpieces or grouped together to make inexpensive arches. So, are you using balloons to their full potential?

Try these balloon star making ideas:

  • For Valentines Day – offer a heart made of bright red balloons (not just a heart-shaped balloon).
  • For weddings – insert small wedding party favors in the balloons or use balloons as table place cards holders.

It’s time to blow up your balloon sales by offering unique and fun balloon items to your customer!

Ribbons: Bow Them Over

Ribbons are such a versatile staple for any flower/gift shop, but to often they are an after thought. We think of ribbons as a little added touch to solve a packaging issue or to add a pop of color here and there.  Don’t let one of your best tools be one of your least thought of or used products.

Colorful Ribbon
Ribbons, like balloons, come in a myriad of colors and can be made in to all sorts of shapes and designs.

When a customer needs a unique decoration for a party, show them your talents by making a ribbon topiary.

Make ribbon flowers for a housewarming party for a family who has flower or plant allergies. Bring compromise to a future marriage by offering ribbon colors that can sooth the brides need for hot pink and the grooms wish for less pink, by adding ribbon to the bridal bouquet.

It’s time to make ribbon a forethought instead of an afterthought!

Plush Toys & Marketing Trends: Push the Trendy

Believe it or not, there are trends within the plush toy market from the Angry Birds (taken from the Iphone app game) to polka-dotted elephants. With plush toys, stocking them based on the hottest trends are the way to create star power.

Follow these plush toys tips:

Plush Horses
  • Don’t be afraid to stray from the standard teddy bear or hearts for Valentines day. Instead, offer frog princes instead or a bee that holds a sign saying “Bee My Valentine”.
  • Don’t forget about the seasonal plush merchandise, just make sure it is trendy.
  • During homecoming season, offer plush based on school or university mascots.
  • Stock unique or quirky plush animals that work with all the gift giving holidays.

Choosing whimsical, trendy items will push your plush toys sales ahead of the pack.

Containers: Contain Your Cost

Each year you need to analyze your container and vase stock. These items could be eating away at your profits if you’re not buying your containers and vases  at the right price. Price isn’t the only factor.

Glass Vases
Under-buying or over-buying can also effect your bottom line. For example, did you have an overabundance of small baskets or maybe you didn’t buy enough tall glass vases, and had paid extra shipping charges in order to restock and fill an order. The money tied-up in these items could have been better spent somewhere more profitable.

It’s important to watch your inventory and keep track of trends during the season. Knowing that your customers like glass vases for their arrangements more than in baskets or that they like square more than circle ones will help you establish a more profitable inventory.

Working With The Right Partners Makes You A Star

You can’t stock every color or style of containers, ribbons, balloons or plush items. You need to have several vendors who can offer unique items, yet still ship items quickly while  offering offer cost-effective prices. Although you need unique items, it is important to have good supply lines for Continue reading “Make Your Floral Supplies Stars!” »
