More Survival Tips for Florists
Try out these super quick survival tips to take your flower store online and keep your business going throughout the crisis...
- Set up an email order system to sell your products - As your customers can no longer come and browse your store or place orders in person, setting up an email order system is a simple yet effective way for you to continue selling them your beautiful products.
- Start a delivery service - Just because customers can't come to you, doesn't mean business has to stop. If you are able, consider starting up a flower delivery service in your local area for a small added fee.
- Focus on gifting for special occasions - Many of your customers will still want access to your services to gift to loved ones for special occasions and show them they are thinking of them during these difficult times. Use your emails to advertise special promotions for holidays, birthdays, or other occasions, and combine this with your delivery service.
- Improve your social media strategy - Use social media to spread the word about your business and get customers sharing your content online. Running giveaways and promotions is a great way to get more exposure in the long run and helps you regain a sense of community.
