How Do we Price? Advantages of Going with a Local Florist to 'Send Flowers in Bangalore'...

How Do we Price? Advantages of Going with a Local Florist to 'Send Flowers in Bangalore'...

As local florist in Bangalore, we frequently receive enquiries on how we have priced our flower arrangements?

One of the primary factors taken into consideration is the prevailing 'Market Conditions' and our 'Competitor Pricing', which determines our pricing and how we set our prices is the most important management decisions that we make as an enterprise.

The other thing which has to be noted is that, a tremendous amount of work goes in to running a flower shop, it would be inappropriate to under price our products and not be able to make ends meet. On the other hand, over pricing and putting ourself out of the market before we even begin would also prove to be disastrous. A pricing strategy can be a complicated thing in a retail flower shop. This is because there are perishable items and skilled labor to be factored in along with the raw cost of goods.

As retail florists and also being an online florists in Bangalore, we share how Bangalore Blooms prices its products for Flower Delivery in Bangalore. There are many pricing formulas. We understand what our overhead costs are and we know what the market demands in addition to the shipment of your orders.

Bangalore Blooms has stuck a fine balance between the two and follows a common formula used in the industry:
 
  1. Deciding on our 'Mark Up' for Fresh Flowers and the Hard Goods
  2. Our labor charges
  3. Pricing point. vs. Design point
  4. Operational Expenses (Both Online & Retail)
  5. Taxes and
  6. Shipment or Delivery Charges
It needs to be understood that, there are two different ways that a design might need to be priced. One is from a specific price point, where we have a price point and work backwards to determine the final price. The second way is where we start with design, creating it first and then determine the retail price upon it's completion. The best formula that we found for us for this, is reciprocal pricing.

For Ex: Pricing a 'Bouquet Delivery in Bangalore' depends on many aspects such as the type of flower, with or without fillers, greens, type of sleeve, ribbon and most of all it will have a higher price if the customer would want to personalizing the bouquet. The door delivery of flowers in Bangalore would also be factored in our pricing.

The advantage for any customer who Buys Flowers or Orders a Cake in Bangalore from a local florist are listed below,
