As a florist or event planner, your business depends on finding the right supplies of premier quality at a great price. Bulk floral supply distributors, like 46th & Spruce, are an excellent resource. We carry a wide variety of floral supplies and can sell them in bulk at cheaper prices than retailers. This makes us a seller you can trust. Follow our tips for finding quality, budget-friendly bulk floral supplies and helpful customer service.
How to Find Bulk Floral Supplies
Sure, you can find florist supplies at craft stores or Amazon, but those retail prices add up quickly. Buying in bulk is generally better for your bottom line as you can often get discounted unit pricing. But where do you find reliable bulk floral supply distributors?
Make sure you check out multiple suppliers and assess their product offerings, quality, and customer service. You’ll quickly find out that not all distributors cater to small businesses like yours.
Look for Distributors Who Specialize in Floral Supplies
Buying from a distributor who specializes in floral supplies ensures you get what you actually need for your florist business.
Floral supply distributors can offer many different kinds of products. While you want a wide selection of florist supplies, a seller who offers too many different types of products might not have the expertise in floral supplies that you want. While some online marketplaces sell vases and ribbons, they also will offer school supplies, janitorial supplies, furniture, and whatever else can be drop shipped. A dedicated floral dealer like 46th & Spruce will better know what supplies you need to create amazing floral arrangements.
Look for businesses that are dedicated to bulk floral supplies and related products. We’ll stock in-demand products because we know what kind of supplies florists need and understand the level of quality you expect. If you have any questions about our offerings, just call or email, and we personally will help you find what you need.
Ask About Accounts for Professional Florists
Ask wholesale distributors if they offer accounts with special benefits to professional florists and regular customers. You deserve it!
As a professional florist, you need a steady supply of floral products. A good distributor knows that and makes it worth your while to buy. For instance, 46th & Spruce offers special accounts with perks for professionals. Those perks might include things like
- Exclusive products available only to professional account holders
- Bulk ordering and combined shipping
- Special discounts
- Faster or cheaper shipping options
- Dedicated customer service with a live representative
Other distributors may have professional accounts, too. Check their website or contact them to ask about details. If you expect to purchase supplies often, you deserve some incentives to maintain that relationship.
The Best Sellers Have Excellent Customer Service
A short phone call or email can tell you a lot about a business. You have clients to help and probably don’t have time to spend waiting in an endless automated phone queue. Instead, you should look for those distributors that can address your concerns in a timely manner- whether by phone, email, or chat.
An excellent distributor goes the extra mile in customer service. A quick phone call is one thing, but 46 & Spruce puts you first by:
- Always having responsive live representatives available via phone or email
- Sending alerts so you’re the first to know when new items are in stock
- Staffing industry experts that can help you find the right product for specific needs
- Following up to ensure your issues have been addressed
- Listening to your needs for new product offerings
- Following best practices to ensure your information is kept safe.
After talking with your distributor's customer service agent, you should feel better. If you're feeling frustrated, it's time to switch.
