At the Flowers 2018 exhibition, I took the stage as a speaker to convey a crucial message: the flower segment in franchising is virtually untapped, presenting an immense opportunity for those with aspirations to lead the industry and establish flower networks. Since then, I've collaborated with several flower brands and gained valuable experience in crafting successful flower franchises.

Defining your franchise's positioning is paramount. Are you a flower delivery service, a neighborhood flower shop, or an upscale flower boutique?

Packaging plays a significant role in shaping a flower brand's identity. Develop unique and eye-catching packaging to set your brand apart from the competition.

Determine your target price category. What is the average purchase amount? Who is your ideal customer base?

Based on your price category, select the most suitable location for your brand: a high-traffic metro station area or a less bustling second-line street? Consider the importance of a separate entrance, ceiling height, and overall store layout.

Clearly define the equipment required to operate your flower shop under the franchise.
Identify the unique selling proposition (USP) of your flower franchise. What compelling reasons would entice potential partners to choose your franchise over opening an independent flower shop? What competitive advantages will you offer them?

Establish a comprehensive plan for flower delivery, including terms, procurement benefits offered by your flower network, and strategies for deliveries to remote regions. This will directly impact your franchise's regional policy.

The competence of your florists is a crucial factor in the quality of products and services offered by your flower shop. Devise a strategy for effectively transferring your florists' skills and knowledge to franchisees in different regions. Consider options such as regional training visits, establishing a floristry school at your headquarters, offering paid training, or including training costs in the lump sum payment.

The level of service and sales volume in a flower shop are naturally influenced by the sales staff. When packaging your flower shop franchise, ensure that franchise outlet salespeople maintain the same high standards as those in your own shops.

A notable characteristic of flower shop operations is the surge in sales during holidays. Equip your franchisees with the knowledge and tools to excel during these peak periods, including strategies for generating traffic, working with advertising platforms, scheduling staff effectively, and making informed flower purchases.

The majority of flower shops in the country offer low-quality products and services at rock-bottom prices. While consumers are willing to pay a premium for beautiful bouquets, unique packaging, and well-designed stores, there are very few players who can consistently deliver on these expectations.

If your flower shop franchise can establish itself as the coveted choice in the market and effectively address the issues outlined in this article, you have the potential to build a nationwide network in a relatively short timeframe.
