Instruction manual

Rent a place on the market or get permission to create a point of sale outside it - in the second case, the “go-ahead” of the local administration and trade department will be required. The owner of the tent should be registered as an individual entrepreneur, and the Rospotrebnadzor and the fire department will evaluate the efforts made by him to its equipment.

Get equipment for the sale of flowers - you will need a collapsible tent itself, flower vases and racks for packaging materials. The set is pretty standard, so the choice of "equipment" for a stall is not a problem. Difficulties will have to be encountered when winter is approaching, and the tent will need to be converted into a closed kiosk - such an opportunity should be foreseen in advance.

Take care when everything is ready for trading, finally, and about the product itself - those who sell flowers at retail deal, as a rule, with wholesale suppliers. The easiest, but also the least risky way of working is to purchase a batch of flowers for one day, in accordance with the sales volumes of your outlet. In addition to this, regular supplies will also have to be purchased - the most diverse types of packaging for flowers.

Expand your flower business as soon as you see that things are going well and the product is diverging. Open other tents organized on the same principle, purchase large quantities of goods, which will allow you to make a large margin. Naturally, the matter will not be limited to the "daily" portion here, therefore, for flowers, then you will have to equip a warehouse with an air conditioning system.

Useful advice

Choose an assortment of flowers, taking into account both the demand for individual species and their properties - if roses are always popular, then carnations, for example, are some of the most persistent.

When composing a business plan for a flower tent, keep in mind the seasonal factor to which this type of business is very susceptible - depending on the time of the year, the product range as well as the conditions necessary for its transportation and sale change.
