I was nervous at first. I&#8217;m shy and thought people would rip me apart in online comments, but that hasn&#8217;t been the case at all! It blows my mind that 50,000-plus people watch these videos. It&#8217;s really increased my confidence.<\/p>\n<p><strong>F20: What are your goals with your videos and workshops?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Hulsey: I always try to emphasize that an arrangement doesn&#8217;t have to be perfect to be beautiful. I also encourage florists to figure out their &#8220;purple cow,&#8221; that is, what is it that distinguishes you from the competition? For my shop, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.colonialhouse.net\/\">Colonial House of Flowers<\/a>, it&#8217;s doing garden style arrangements.<\/p>\n<p><strong>F20: Profitability seems to be a big talking too. How do you keep your eye on the prize in your own business?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Hulsey: I remind my staff constantly that we have to make money on every order. If we can&#8217;t pay our bills, we can&#8217;t design flowers anymore. To reinforce this point, we write down flower prices as soon as they come in in two different places: on the bucket and on a chalkboard. This helps them remember the value of each stem. It&#8217;s tempting to stuff in extra flowers when your mom or best friend stops in the shop, but this helps us resist.<\/p>\n<p><strong>F20: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/ColonialHouseofFlowers\/posts\/10155274821851620\">Your latest video<\/a> shows garden arrangements at five\u00a0different \u00a0price points. Why is this important to you?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Hulsey: It shows how you can stay true to your aesthetic but also appeal to a wide range of customers. We definitely get a lot of people who come in and want to spend $10 or $25. I don&#8217;t want to turn them away and I don&#8217;t want to stuff a bunch of cheap flowers in a vase. So, for these customers, we suggest a bud vase with one or two high-end blooms.<\/p>\n<p><strong>F20: You seem to be a big proponent of premium products. Why are they beneficial?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Hulsey: They instantly increase your perceived value without adding labor costs. It doesn&#8217;t require much creativity or skill to make top-notch flowers look good. And quality containers are the answer to that annoying phrase every florist hears: &#8220;but flowers just die.&#8221; They give customers a lasting gift. They&#8217;re great selling points.<\/p>\n<p><strong>F20: Anything else you&#8217;d like to teach your fellow florists?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Hulsey: Don&#8217;t fear the DIY movement! Things like succulent bars and build-your-own-bouquet can be very profitable (when given options, customers can&#8217;t resist picking your prettiest product), plus it&#8217;s a great gateway to get regular floral customers.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>There are <a href=\"http:\/\/www.mayesh.com\/mdsworkshop\/\">two remaining workshops<\/a> on the Mayesh Design Star tour: one in Portland, Oregon on October 17 and another in Detroit on November 14.<\/p>\n<p>Want to be the next star? <a href=\"http:\/\/www.mayesh.com\/2018-mds-contest\/\">Click here<\/a> to learn more and to register.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The search is on for Mayesh Wholesale Florist&#8217;s 2018 Design Star.
