Want to close the (profitability) gap between your shop and the customer’s front door? When you turn delivery into a profit center, you can.
All it takes? Some strategy, planning and know-how. Find out how to set delivery zones and charges, track drivers’ productivity, and hire quality drivers with Paul Goodman, MBA, CPA, PFCI, president of Floral Finance Business Services. The author of “The Profit Minded Florist” will lead “A Roadmap for Profitable Deliveries,” on Sunday, July 15 at the Society of American Florists’ 1-Day Profit Blast in Green Bay, Wisconsin, sponsored by the Bill Doran Company.
“Participants will go home with the notes and handouts from the session and immediately begin putting more dollars on the bottom line from their delivery operations,” said Goodman, a longtime columnist for Floral Management magazine, who also tackled the subject in the June issue of the magazine. “After reviewing costs, we’ll look at how to create efficiencies for higher productivity and how to price the service based on its cost. We’ll talk about deliveries they should not be making (due to cost). We’ll also look at delivery charges during holidays and how to manage those very busy times.”
In addition to Goodman’s program, SAF’s 1-Day Profit Blast in Green Bay features Josh Glass, AAF, vice president of Peoples Flower Shops in Albuquerque, New Mexico, who will present “Pick Me! Stand Out and Sell More Online;” Jody McLeod, AIFD, CFD, NCCPF, owner of Annie V’s Floral Design Studio in Clayton, North Carolina, with Derek C. Woodruff, AIFD, CFD, CF, PFCI, owner of the Floral Underground in Traverse City, Michigan, who will present “M3: Money Making Mechanics,” sponsored by Syndicate Sales; Tim Huckabee, president of FloralStrategies, LLC, with “Smart Selling;” and there’s a Supplier Showcase of products and services.
