I never had a real first MD as I took over the well established family business, but my advice would be to not go over board with fresh stock, don't kick yourself if you think you could have sold a lot more, it's a lot more expensive to be throwing it out. We do a LOT of chocs here, not much in the way of teddy's tho. Shove a plant and box of choccies in a basket - nice quick item to make, good sale.
hi toddx
im in east bentleigh,and i openned a new flower shop from scratch 2 doors from excisting florist which been there for 10 years and which has been sold 100 times over and over again.
the current owners have no clue about flowers,they never dealt with flowers in their life.i took a risk and openned my own and it has been pretty good for me.so i had to ask for suggestions for MD because my shop needs to be different from my competition.plants and choccies sounds like a great idea
ill let u know after md how it went,thanks for the advice
