4 Advantages Of Silk Flowers And Floral Supplies

October 9th, 2008 - Posted by Leigh Morrisett

Experience the Sales Potential Of Silk Flower and Floral Supplies

Are you a florist specializing in weddings or parties? Are you a gift shop that includes home decor items? More importantly are you missing the sales potential of permanent arrangements, artificial botanicals, or silk flowers? All of these products offer tremendous sales potential.

Why carry artificial flower arrangements? Long lasting, little to no care, and less waste are a few of the reasons. Fresh flowers will always be in style, but there will be times that customers will want silk flower arrangements and here is why you will too.

Cost Effectiveness of Silk Flowers and Permanent Arrangements

Comparable prices and durability are important when looking for wholesale floral supplies; silk flowers fit the bill. Often live plants and cut flowers have limitations: seasonal cost, availability and shelf life. The ability to offer silk wedding flowers or permanent arrangements for home decor allows you to bypass some of these issues. When you factor in shrinkage and durability, silk flowers and artificial botanicals are a cost effective alternative to fresh flowers and fulfill the need customers have for keepsake items or home decor items. With preserved products, like dried or silk flowers and artificial botanicals, you can tailor your costs to effectively reach those niche markets and increase your bottom line. Florists and gift shops who balance cost saving items like silk flowers with their other products create a way to meet customers’ needs with profit needs.

Silk Flowers And Artificial Botanicals Offer Variety

Versatility is the key. By offering a wide selection of colors and floral styles, you give your customer the look that they desire; even when the item is not in season or not a product of nature. Fulfilling the customer’s desires is what makes you profitable. How do you respond if she wants blue roses that will last a lifetime or a keepsake in a fresh flower arrangement? By utilizing a silk flower or a permanent accessory to save the day. Wholesalers are able to stock and ship out quickly all the items you need. From vases to raffia, artificial plants to silk flowers, and artificial botanicals to feathers, you’ll have whatever you need at a moments notice. By offering artificial silk flowers, greenery and artificial botanicals you gain customer’s confidence which will have them to recommending you to others. Word of mouth is the most cost effective advertisement one can have.

Multitude of Uses of Artificial Botanicals & Permanent Flowers

Silk plants or topiaries are great for weddings. Palms are perfect decorations for tropical themes. Artificial botanicals make interesting home decor items. Using permanent flowers or artificial plants also offers convenience in care and transportation. You can make beautiful decorations using woodland dried and preserved flowers. Floral supplies such as dried butterflies take a sweet sixteen bouquet up a notch. Add a symbolic touch to funeral spray with a white dove. Dried lavender used in wreaths is a wonderful home decor decoration. To capitalize on these uses, you need to have the right wholesale floral supplies available to enhance your floral artistry. Weddings, proms or gifts can all be enhanced by incorporating silk flowers, greenery, dried flowers, permanent botanicals and preserved products.


Ability To Give Customer What They Want

Customers want convenience as well as variety. Offering your clientele a choice between beautiful fresh flowers or silky elegant faux flowers is an excellent way to expand your sales. Patrons often want permanent floral arrangements for their living rooms, romantic dried preserved roses for their dining room, or a bride may wish to have silk wedding flower arrangements created to match her fresh bouquet as a keepsake.

Offering a multitude of flower options, including silk flowers and artificial botanicals, is a wonderful way to grow your customer base as well as retain your loyal customers. So apply these advantages to your store and view the many products offered by wholesale silk flower vendors. You will find products that will please and delight your customers while increasing your bottom line.
