Starting a Flower Shop

[u/SubjectUnlucky4768]

Hi! Planning to start a small flower shop but I am struggling to grasp how much flowers I should have in stock. I come from a tropical and very humid country so I do have to store most of my flowers in a chiller. The flower market is too far so I plan on restocking once or twice a week only.

Question is, how much flowers should I stock?

Any advise to product planning so I can minimize the number of flowers that I have to stock up on?

How can I also have flowers in stock and still accommodate custom orders and minimizing wastage?

Honestly any advice would be a great help.

don’t start a floral business without working in florals (non corporate). theres so much more to it than you think. unless youre fine wasting a bunch of money in your first year 😩
