Are you new to the wholesale flower business and looking to use the Internet to build your flowers business? Today, not only can you sell arrangements "in house", but you can also buy and sell wholesale flowers online as a way to bring in more revenue. The Internet offers a new way to increase your sales.
Whether for a wedding, banquet, or baby shower, buying wholesale flowers offers consumers the ability to save money. When purchased online, flowers are not only shipped straight to the consumer's door, but often times can be shipped as quickly as needed. This truly is the wave of the future for do-it-yourselfers.
The first step in selling wholesale flowers online is having a storefront. Create an inexpensive website with all your products listed. Use either a free site or one that allows you to actually list products, and then be able to sell them from the website. For a low cost merchant account, use PayPal, which allows you to sell products on your website without having to have a credit card portal. PayPal is easy to use, and most people either have a PayPal account or can get one with ease.
Get quality pictures from the wholesaler, and if no photos are available use a digital camera to take pictures of your wholesale flowers. Once you have downloaded the pictures online, you can upload them to the website. Consumers prefer to see pictures of the wholesale flowers. Make sure to also give vivid descriptions of the items.
Once your website has been created you can begin marketing your wholesale flowers website. To do this, sign up at websites such as Merchant Circle, which offer free memberships. Merchant Circle is a free service which offers a free way to connect with outer businesses. Create business cards that have your business information and then begin giving them out to everyone you meet. Word of mouth is a great source of advertising that can't be forgotten.
Another option is to create a eBay storefront. You will pay fees to eBay for all products listed and sold. The advantage to using eBay is that all you have to do is list the products. eBay is proven to be an excellent way to buy and sell. One of the first steps would be to search wholesale flowers on eBay, check out the prices of competitors. Then create prices that will be competitive.
No matter how you decide to market online, the key is getting the word out about your wholesale flowers business. Consumers want to save money. Remember this when doing promotions and sales. Most of all, remember that consumers love excellent customer service.
