Business Story
Why this business was started
A great opportunity was identified in online drop-ship flower sales (no stock held) with ever increasing purchases made using smartphones and other mobile devices plus great demand for flowers by post and single stem bunches such as carnations, alstroemeria and freesias. Shopify provided the perfect dynamic platform that could evolve as technology evolves (future proofing), was cost effective, offered flexible merchant payment options, SEO friendly and free and easy to update.
The reason of selling this business
Needing to focus on another business which requires more time so looking to realise the value in this established turn key website, branding, name, images, database and on going sales revenue. Also selling Fineflora Flowers (separate listing) - which will be included free with sale of Guernsey Flowers by Post (at no extra cost) selling at £149,995 - [REDACTED]
What's involved in running this business
Currently run as a drop ship business whereby all orders are fulfilled by third party suppliers so responding to customer and supplier emails is the main task but only takes around 2 hours a day. Other things that need to be done less frequently may include product updates, paying suppliers (monthly), seasonal blog posts (4 or 5 a year), looking at analytics in shopify, keeping an eye on any advertising and creating new seasonal products (if need be) and looking at ways to improve the overall business. The main period for sales is from beginning of December - Christmas - through to Valentine's Day to Mother's Day (usually mid March to end of March)

Seller‘s Advice
How to grow this business
Sales growth can be achieved through new sales channels - Amazon, Ebay, Etsy and by engaging Social Media (Facebook, Instagram, Tiktok etc) and by emailing subscribed customers special offers and reminding of Christmas, Valentine's, Mother's Day. Currently Google adwords is used with low conversion costs but more sales could be generated if the budget was expanded. There's also opportunities to increase product range with new drop ship suppliers, supplying directly and upselling. Adding international delivery would also grow sales. This business can be run from anywhere in the world as a standalone business or would make an ideal bolt-on to an existing florist, gift or drop ship fulfillment business or even a start up floristry business.
Skills to have
Basic understanding of sales and marketing, profit and loss etc.
