subject: Florist Supplies [print this page] Floral supplies come in many different shapes and sizes. As well as those items that are used to create your floral displays and help you master the art of floristry or streamline some of the processes involved, there are also display items that help to give your work the best look and ensure that customers see your designs at their very best. The type of display you create, the type of work you do, and the places where you display your floristry will ultimately determine the most beneficial floral supplies for your needs.
Christmas Displays
Seasonal displays typically use more than just flowers to create a great looking and relevant design. For instance Christmas displays will usually include baubles and may also include Santa figurines, snowmen and other related items. For your florist shop you may also want to include items like Christmas trees and wreaths which you can decorate yourself or buy ready decorated. Carry the theme into your floral displays to encourage customers to buy.
Valentines Day Displays
Valentines Day is one of the most popular days for buying flowers and roses are the biggest seller. However, the modern florist will typically cater to more than just floral needs. Teddy bears, ribbons, boxes, and balloons are all suitable floral supplies to help promote your florist business during the build up to Valentines Day.
Gift Shop Supplies
Floral supplies can be varied and extensive all year round. Many florists have become more gift shop than simple florist now. Helium filled birthday and event balloons, along with gift bags, baskets, and even scented candles and displays can make popular additional gift items which increases the average sale value for a florist while also pulling more potential customers through the door.
Floral Supplies
Of course, floral supplies also include items like floral bases and floral foam. Moss bases, ribbons, and spray paint can also be used to decorate a floral display and provide customers with the bunch of flowers or other gift idea that they have been looking for. You can create unique and artistic as well as classic looking displays with equally unique items.
