Earn Extra Income.
With very little outlay you can
start up a profitable career or hobby in floristry. Profits are
high, much higher than in many other businesses. The profit margin
on make-up work such as a bowl, basket and funeral tributes is often
200% or more and much higher for bridal
designs.
Weddings can be very profitable. As well as
creating the floral designs for the bride, bridesmaids, flower
girls, corsages and buttonholes, you will often be asked to arrange
the flowers for the church and the wedding reception. You can make
hundreds of dollars from one wedding alone. The cost of
your course fees can be repaid many times over.
