Someday Soon, We’ll Be Able To Send This Slump A Farewell Bouquet . . .

. . . but until then, it’s all about keeping costs in check, making sure you have the inventory you need and no more, and helping those customers who want great-looking flowers for their special event while staying within their budget. Running a floral shop isn’t easy at the best of times; nowadays, even if demand has dropped, many of your costs haven’t.

So there are fewer customers to order flowers, or at any rate fewer customers willing to spend the big bucks for same day flowers, for instance. What to do? During many downturns, the standard operating procedure is to cut costs to the bone and wait things out—but this is a downturn of truly historic proportions, and waiting probably isn’t the best option. Oh, this slump will end—they always do, that’s why they call it the business cycle—but the time to position yourself for the next opportunity is now, not then.

How do you position yourself for success? How do you break away from the pack? The answer lies in differentiating yourself from the competition—making yourself stand out! Wondering how to do that? We know where to find the answers!
