Whether you\u2019re a brand new business or you\u2019ve been in the neighborhood for years, it can be tough to stand out from the competition. There are other local shops to contend with, on top of the increase in online floral businesses.<\/p>\n

Here are nine\u00a0business tips\u00a0to help you get your name out there as a retail florist.<\/p>\n

1) Have a noticeable online presence. You can get a customized website and make sure to develop some quality content<\/a>. Use social media tools to your advantage by being visible on Facebook, Twitter, Pinterest, and LinkedIn, and participate in other groups in the floral industry.<\/p>\n

2) Run special promotions to attract customers. Periodically offering coupons or discounts will generate new business and remind regular customers of your presence.<\/p>\n

3) This probably goes without saying, but list your shop in all local business directories. Many people fail to take advantage of all of their area publications, especially the online editions, most of which offer free listings.<\/p>\n

4) Ensure that people recognize and remember your brand by having a business name and\/or logo that stands out. If you have a delivery van, use it to your advantage. A unique mobile advertising campaign could push you far ahead of your competition.<\/p>\n

5) Focus on important events and holidays. Graduations, Mother\u2019s Day, and several other holidays generate a tremendous amount of business for retail flower shops.<\/p>\n

6) Send free (surprise) arrangements to local businesses. This is a great way to get word-of-mouth advertising and referrals, especially if you\u2019re relatively new to the area.<\/p>\n

7) Offer some freebies for certain events, such as a non-profit fundraiser. You\u2019ll be \u201cdoing good\u201d by supporting important causes and generating good PR for your business.<\/p>\n

8) Create flyers, posters, and product guides that contain useful information for your customers. Establish yourself as the most knowledgeable and experienced florist in the area, while remaining accessible to the local community.<\/p>\n

9) Most importantly, perfect your elevator pitch.\u00a0From a\u00a0recent\u00a0Microsoft Business<\/em>\u00a0article<\/a>:<\/p>\n

The whole idea behind a great elevator pitch is to intrigue someone. It’s an ice-breaker and a marketing pitch \u2014 all rolled into one. Your elevator pitch must have a hook. “I own a flower shop downtown” doesn’t hold a candle to “I’m a specialty florist who deals in rare, South American tropical flowers that bloom in the winter.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
