Some people don’t get the concept behind why wholesale flowers are a good deal. Let’s face it, some people are just not bargain shoppers. They don’t love the feeling of stumbling on a great sweater at a garage sale. They don’t shake with excitement when there is a sale on shoes at a store in the mall. Sale flyers and banners don’t make them grab their purse and head out the door. Why? Who knows.
The concept behind buying wholesale flowers is the same way. Why go to a full service, full price floral shop when you can get the same thing from a lower priced, wholesale dealer? Basically, that is the difference between a wholesale floral dealer and a retail floral shop: the price. The wholesale dealers is probably supplying the florist, who then in turn marks up their price 30% or more and tries to sell it to you. Shopping from a wholesaler is effectively cutting out the middleman, which saves you big bucks.
Another reason besides price that makes a wholesale dealer attractive is their selection. Because they deal in large quantities when ordering, they may have access to a wider range of stock. That stock may be at a much better price than if you were to order one solo from an online store and pay a hefty shipping price.
Wholesale dealers have access to a broader range of clients than you do, too. They get in exotic dried products, vases from around the world and colorful accents that you won’t see anywhere else. Their connections can supply you with the materials to make a unique, one of a kind arrangement that will make them gasp in delight. Now, if they only knew how much money you save in the process, they would be a convert too!
