TRADING HOURS

EXPANSION POTENTIAL
Our clients clearly have a progressive and
successful business, which they accept has
excellent future potential to increase the
turnover and profits further by:
1. having a larger organic selection with
most customers willing to pay extra
for a better product
2. offering a veg round with home
deliveries, which would prove a
godsend for the less able
3. advertising in the registry office
pamphlet, for the floristry side. This
is given free to all those having a
service.
4. Approaching the many local pubs and
restaurants to offer their own fruit
and veg
5. Approaching local funeral parlours to
ask that they recommend the florist
6. There are 600 extra families due to
move into the area within the next
few months which should increase
trade substantially
