How to Start a Children’s Street Flower Vendor Business
Business Overview:
If you want to teach your child valuable skills and responsibility, you and your child should learn how to start a children’s street flower vendor business. Not only will your child learn how to work with money and make change, they’ll learn the importance of good manners in customer service. The most important aspects of making this business idea a success are having attractive flowers and an excellent location. You’ll want to set up your child’s stand in an area that gets a lot of foot traffic and auto traffic. Husbands on their way home from work will be good customers as well as women passing by wanting flowers to spruce up their homes. Flowers are often an impulse purchase so having a nice-looking, easy-to-see table with beautiful flowers displayed will go a long way to attracting customers. If your budding entrepreneur is old enough, you may decide to set up his or her flower table near (or as part of) a neighborhood garage sale or sporting event. As long as you buy high quality flowers and arrange and bunch them with your child, you’ll be able to mark up the prices enough to teach your child about profit. Helping your child start a children’s street flower vendor business will also be a good way to spend time together while teaching basic business principles.
A Day in the Life of a Children’s Street Flower Vendor Business Owner:
Your child’s day will begin by deciding on a location for the flower table. You will then transport and set up your table, signs and flowers. You will arrange your flowers attractively and wait for your customers. You and your child will spend your day interacting with customers and selling your flowers. At the end of the day you will pack up your supplies and head home.
About Your Customers:
Your customers will be individuals wanting beautiful flowers at an attractive price. They will likely be passing by (on foot or in their vehicles), see your child’s table and decide they must have some fresh flowers to take home.
What You Need to Start:
- Fresh flowers
- Rubber bands and plastic flower wrap
- Vases or buckets to keep flowers in water
- Table and chairs (for parent and child)
- Signs
- Dollar bills and change
The Good:
- A flower business is the ideal first business for a budding entrepreneur.
- It teaches fundamental principles that children will need throughout life.
- It’s a good opportunity to show children the importance of good manners and customer service when dealing with adults.
- It’s a fun way to spend time with family and neighbors.
- It’s rewarding to make customers happy.
The Bad:
- This is a seasonal business that will be more successful when the weather is nice; people won’t stop in the rain or cold.
- You’ll need to learn the exact amount of flowers to purchase so that you don’t end up with a surplus that wilts before you can sell them.
