I am sick to death as i have mentioned in other threads of ht in boxes after doing so many at md. Really want to do more front facing hand tied and was wondering if anyone had some nice pics for me to get inspired by.

I did have some, but they are front facing in a tall h/t box I'm afraid.

no thats fine, i did some in the tall boxes from flower box designs and used allium, aconitum, gerbera, cordyline black tie, fatsia, snake grass etc and have done some with anthurium but just like to see some other ideas. i really want to promote them because i think i would be able to stock less xanths while they are so expensive and also stock more choice flowers... its actually just the chelsea wraps i am sick of. i like the tall vases

We hardly ever stock xanths now...only blooms like Anastasia. No one wants them as they can just nip down to the supermarket and buy them cheaper.

What do you start your hand tieds at. I start hand tieds in a box at £20 and find that i have to put at least 5 chrysanths in to make it look big enough and to get the shape without using all choice. No worries if you would rather not say.

£27.50 for delivery...£25 for collection

Thks chriss, think i will have to increase my prices and put more choice in. just get more salall in as well to pack it out. my customers do like big !!

Ours too...hence why we upped our prices...on MD was £30 minimum for delivery

so do you add in extra for the upped price for delivery or is that just a delivery charge cause at the mo i dont charge delivery. did that when i first opened to get the customers and now am scared to put a charge on. Like the idea of increasing to £25 and charging maybe a pound delivery. what do you think (ob just local area - i am not that daft) although reading back what i am writing i must be. ps. thanks for your advice i hope you dont mind giving it. i have been open for three years and am quite wise to most business aspects but because i do everything on own, partner hates shop really i am sure, you sometimes need to talk to someone who knows the score and is actually interested!!! so thanks. mmmm this magners is going down lovely!!

I wont deliver for less than £25 and I would never do free delivery unless the order was over £50.00 and only if I was having a good day! You have to factor in the time issue, we cant work for free. So, the handtied in a box you'd be making a few quid really then nothing for the time to deliver it.
