I am getting ready to start selling artificial floral arrangements, how do I figure out how much to sell them for, what is the mark up?
      Answer1:It very much depends on the quality of the flora.There is cheap and nasty that looks imitiation, or the English importsthat you cant tell the difference.Work out the cost of the arrangementWork out how much you are worth an hour and add the time it took to do itAdd 17.5% (thats your annual leave quotient)Now get your total and add at least 50%.eg: arrangement cost $9pay $20 hour .5 hr $1017.5% $1.75= 20.75x50% 10.3031.00if youre doing it for less, youre ripping yourself off.if you dont buy wholesale, you cant make a living at it.Finally, WHO is your market? WHO is going to buy them? WHO / WHAT is your competition? WHAT do they charge? WHAT is the demand?
