Ellen Frost, owner of Local Color Flowers in Baltimore, joins host Jennie Love for a five part series focused on key drivers of flower math for floral shops. An informative listen for both florists and growers!

We wrap up the Flower Math series today with Part 5: Being Team Players. Being profitable as a small business, be it a floral shop or a flower farm, is a struggle. We all work with a very perishable product and have risky sales channels. What kinds of honest conversations can gorwers and florists have together about flower math? If we work as a team, rather than just vendors making transactions, can we collecitvely thrive? Or is the system too broken for both gorwers and florists to be profitable in the same transaction? Hear what two seasoned flower professionals have to say on the topic.

Flower Math Part 4: Delivery and Handling Fees

Saison 1 · Épisode 4

lundi 15 janvier 2024 • Durée 34:36

Ellen Frost, owner of Local Color Flowers in Baltimore, joins host Jennie Love for a five part series focused on key drivers of flower math for floral shops. An informative listen for both florists and growers!

Fees add up! In Part 4 of the Flower Math series, we expose this often unseen sinkhole for profit. Growers have to charge delivery fees and often collectives and wholesalers charge handling fees. Florists have to absorb all of these fees. We go into how florists should be thinking about working fees into their flower math. Spoiler, opting out of delivery and instead picking up the flowers yourself is not "free". We also talk about what delivery fee florists need to charge their own customers to make the flower math work.

Flower Math Part 3: Quality Tiers

Saison 1 · Épisode 3

lundi 15 janvier 2024 • Durée 34:41

Ellen Frost, owner of Local Color Flowers in Baltimore, joins host Jennie Love for a five part series focused on key drivers of flower math for floral shops. An informative listen for both florists and growers!

In Part 3 of the Flower Math series, we discuss quality and how that can impact flower pricing. What is "quality" to a florist? There's baseline quality that should be observed with all flower sales. But then there variable factors like product mix, stem length, stage of harvest, amount of processing, and even sleeving that are all part of how florists make decisions on what to buy. Growers, find out why pumping out only premium stems can be hurting your florist sales.

Be sure to listen to Part 1 and Part 2 of this series to learn how price per stem and product shrink impact flower math.

Flower Math Part 2: Product Shrink

Saison 1 · Épisode 2

Ellen Frost, owner of Local Color Flowers in Baltimore, joins host Jennie Love for a five part series focused on key drivers of flower math for floral shops. An informative listen for both florists and growers!

In Part 2 of the Flower Math series, we dive into product shrink and how it can be devastating to a flower shop's bottom line. A staggering 45% of wholesale flowers never get sold, instead ending up in the trash as a total loss. We discuss best practices at both the farm and in the shop that will help reduce this product shrink so florists can be more financially stable. Growers, you'll want to listen because the less shrink florists experience with your product, the more they will buy from you!

lundi 15 janvier 2024 • Durée 41:04

Ellen Frost, owner of Local Color Flowers in Baltimore, joins host Jennie Love for a five part series focused on key drivers of flower math for floral shops. An informative listen for both florists and growers!

In Part 1 of the Flower Math series, we dive into price per stem and how what a grower is charging a florist wholesale gets amplified through the mark up process. The price per stem has a huge impact on the profitability of both a flower shop and a farm. How do florists consider price per stem as they shop? What are the right choices to make your flower shop profitable?
