2024 Pricing Chat for Florists

 

It’s the most wonderful time of the year–at least when it comes to pricing and profitability in your business! It’s almost fall which means it’s time for my Pricing Chat for Florists! Join me on Tuesday, September 17th, at 12pm ET/9am PT to walk through the 3 Most Important Numbers Florists Need To Know in your business.

It’s free and you can register now to get your Zoom invitation and I’ll send you a workbook before the chat as well.

Join the Pricing Chat

Pricing & profitability should not be a mystery in your business, which is why I’m hosting this live conversation on Sept. 17th.

I’ll also be kicking off my Flower Math Fall Sale, Sept. 17-19th, and you’ll be the first to know when the doors are open if you get on the list for the Pricing Chat!

I’m looking forward to seeing you there.
