From buying flowers to selling flowers, full-time moms originally can be so entrepreneurial

There are many full-time moms who want to start their own business while bringing up children, what kind of business is suitable? Need time flexibility, rhythm is not nervous, not too tired, profits are relatively good, so the calculation, in fact, selling flowers is a good choice.

You Xiaobei is such a full-time mom, and she has two children, the eldest is only in the first grade, busy, she has been selling flowers part-time for two years.

You know Xiaobei, is through the flower field small rest of the students group, in a group of flower store students, only she is preparing to flower store, but she has a lot of experience in selling flowers.

Two years ago, You Xiao Bei bought flowers once a week for her home because she liked flowers, and slowly, friends around her would ask her to help bring a little. Later, people are not satisfied with the florist's "old three", began to order flowers from Yunnan, looking for her to bring more and more friends, from the beginning of the twenty-some people, and finally developed to more than 200 people. She also began to turn into a "flower girl" in everyone's mouth.

Yu Xiaobei receives orders through WeChat and her circle of friends, completes the package design at home, and lets the customer pick up the package at home. This way, there is no delay at all in taking care of the children at home. Initially she did not learn floriculture, on the hands of the realization that to make good-looking flowers must be professional learning, so the Internet to find information, at first also took a detour, and later found that the content of the flower field rest is very rich and practical, they insist on learning down.

You Xiao Bei put their own living room, specially decorated a corner used to do flowers, like a miniature flower store. Usually sell loose flowers, mostly for daily use, followed by gift boxes and cuddle buckets. You Xiao Bei's experience is that, when choosing flowers, try to pick the few flowers available in the local market, and if there are varieties available in the local market, choose the ones with better quality and more special colors. Every time she enters flowers, regular roses, carnations, eustoma, etc., she will try to pick a few more colors for customers to choose. There are few grass flowers in the local market, so she often orders novelty grass flower varieties to give her customers a new experience.

She is also very flexible when it comes to the design of flower gifts. For example, for those who are looking for value for money, she will let them buy more types of flowers for the same price. When there are fewer customers, she will also match some loose flowers with a vase and give them to beauty stores, mom and pop stores, and children's clothing stores around her home to give them as front desk flowers. Because these stores are more female customer groups, it is easy to be attracted to flowers, naturally will add her WeChat, and then build groups, the formation of interest groups, popularization of flower care knowledge. She will also teach some simple flower arrangement skills, and sometimes will discuss with each other about the net red flower gift pictures, do some online small competition or even offline floral activities.

After a long time, customers treated You Xiao Bei as a friend. You Xiaobei will also consider each other's needs, will establish a file for the customer, record their purchase frequency, favorite style, preferred varieties, and sometimes also send a small gift to give customers a little surprise, is a warm hearted boss in the minds of customers.

Juggling a family and selling flowers at the same time definitely requires a lot of energy. You Xiaobei will use all the time available to learn and take care of the flowers. She had to get up at 6:30 a.m. every morning to do housework and take care of her two children, and at night, when the children were asleep, she would take care of the flowers, sometimes staying up until the wee hours of the morning to work. But her love for floral art and seeing the happy faces of her customers when they get their flowers makes it all worthwhile.

You Xiaobei's ultimate goal is to open a flower store, and the earliest she can do that is early next year, but now is just the preparatory stage, in her words, the trial and error cost of part-time selling flowers is relatively low. Over the past two years, she has accumulated a lot of customers and experience, this year by the impact of the epidemic, the consumption of living flowers than before has dropped, but the flower gift orders than before, on the contrary, more, the unit price is also a little higher. After the resumption of work, You Xiaobei every holiday performance is good, Mother's Day, Children's Day, Teacher's Day, etc. orders are many, sometimes a holiday on a few thousand dollars of water, which makes part-time care of the family she has been very satisfied.

The two years of selling flowers, her biggest feeling is that professional learning is too important to be blindly confident. Before contacting the floral art, she thought it was easy to make flower gifts, because flowers are already good-looking, casually wrapped in a package to get out of the way, but a hands-on only to find that it's not the case at all, especially when you see customers to get the bouquet of other florists' pictures to find her to buy loose flowers, all of a sudden was struck by the determination to learn the art of floriculture to enhance the ability to design products, so that every customer who trusts her can get a satisfactory flower gift. The flower gift.
