Retail Opportunity: Florist

Florist Current Vacancies

2007-01-25:

Florists design and make up floral arrangements, bouquets, wreaths and floral tributes.
They may also sell cut flowers, pot plants, dried and artificial flowers, gifts and decorations.
Florists need to use imagination and flair to create original designs, as well as working to customers suggestions.
Florists deal with customers in person and by telephone, advising them on choice and care for their purchase.
Florists work shop hours, including Saturdays and possibly Sundays.
More than half the florists in the UK work part-time.
Although some have outside stalls, most florists work indoors, mainly in shops.
The majority of opportunities occur in specialist shops, which are situated in most towns and cities.
Many trained and experienced florists start their own businesses, although the increased competition from multiples and E businesses is likely to lead to a decline in numbers of successful independent florists shops.
With further training some florists may move into areas such as freelance floral decoration, floral design, exhibition work, demonstration and teaching.
Earnings for self-employed florists will vary widely depending on the type of business. Experienced florists may earn from around 10,400 to around 14,500. (Permalink)
