Things that raise your income

• Wedding and event design

  The single biggest step up in pay in this trade.

• Sympathy and funeral work

  Steady, year round, and a shop's most reliable income.

• Growing your own

  Flower farming plus design, sold direct, keeps the wholesaler's margin in your pocket.

• Social media

  In floral work, an audience is a sales channel. Shops with strong photography get event inquiries without advertising.
