What you'll build
What you will be able to do
Each lab ends with a concrete result that you build yourself and the checker confirms, cell by cell.
- Turn bunch prices into a cost per stem, remove the stems lost in grading, find the real cost per usable stem and the money lost in grading for one delivery.
- Cost a bouquet from its recipe card: line costs per item, the flower and sundry totals, labour from minutes and an hourly rate, and the full cost per arrangement.
- Price five arrangements with fictional multipliers, round them onto a $5 price ladder with MROUND, calculate the gross margin and flag the ones below the target.
- Count days in stock with DAYS, compare them with fictional shelf-life classes, put a price on the binned stems and calculate a pooled waste % for one flower.
- Build a wedding quote: centrepieces from guests and tables, aisle pieces from the aisle length, the flower total plus set-up and delivery, and a rounded deposit.
- Turn weekly, fortnightly and monthly plans into boxes per month, calculate monthly recurring revenue, the churn rate and the gross profit of the subscription line.
- Forecast a peak flower day from last year's sales and a growth rate, split it into pre-orders and walk-ins, and turn it into stems and whole bunches to order.
- Bring the year together by product line: contribution per line after flowers, waste, labour and delivery, the shop profit after overheads, the best line by contribution % and a revenue chart.
About this course
Flowers lose value every day they sit in the bucket, so a florist has to price with precision. This course shows how. Using fictional wholesale bunches, you work out the cost of each usable stem after grading losses, then build recipe cards with stems, sundries and labour for every arrangement. You apply pricing multipliers, set a price ladder and check margins. Waste is measured by days in stock and shelf-life class. Then you quote weddings and events piece by piece, plan subscription bouquets with churn, and forecast peak days from last year to set a buying plan. A product-line P&L closes the course. Each lab checks your cells as you go. For florists, shop owners and floristry students.
