Starting an Internet Flower Business.

Starting an Internet Flower Business is easy. Becoming successful is another story.

There are 2 things to know to start a web based floral business. One is knowledge of flowers or love of flowers, the other one is know how to build an optimized web site.

I built a web site about flowers before the year 2000, but never made it anywhere. Even though I had flowers knowledge the secret to build an optimized web site was revealed to me by learning of SBI. SBI is the one in all package to properly build a business from the Internet.

Other methods to start a floral site is to belong to a wire Service like Teleflora or FTD you can have a site built with their templates for a little or none set up fee and a monthly charge.($50-70).

If you don't belong to any wire services there are companies specializing in the reproduction of flower web sites where you can have a site and shopping cart built in a very short time and no set up fees and often lower monthly fees then the wire services.

There is also a way to join the Internet flower business through affiliate programs.

The weakness of all the above sites is the fact that none have been built with the proper optimization, nor properly submitted to the search engines.

It is up to you to market the web site.

94% fail to attract the traffic needed to generate sales. Hiring professional marketers who promise the "Pie in the Sky" is also a reason for disappointment and conclusion that the Internet is not working.

How to build a successful flower web site

Even though I was involved with site building since the early 90s it was only in 2006 that I came across the process, software, guidance and help that enabled me to create a profitable business from the Internet.

The first florist web site I took over as webmaster is now generating "Vital" daily orders and has been the driving force to a 10% business increase in 2010 and 2011.

From seeing first hand the results I started flower-arrangement-ideas.com sharing my "Flower story" with the purpose of helping fellow flower entrepreneurs.

Thanks to the powerful SBI software the 40 pages web site I developed is now visited by 3,000 monthly visitors.

One page produced 10 wholesale clients in one month. Another page produced 2 sales in a week netting over $1,000 USA dollars.

This is the power of the Internet. If you build your web site correctly.

The cost of maintaining the web site is a $25 monthly fee for SBI and my time.

Flower Business Niche

You need to find your niche in the flower business. Retail, wholesale, service? Many entrepreneurs buy a florist depending on wire services and foot traffic to carry the business only to find out that there is not enough business. The traditional newspapers advertisement or yellow pages does not work anymore.

For a florist, the only way out is increase the business is through further marketing efforts especially creating a very well thought web site. I did it and so can you when you understand the fundamental truth of the web.
