Having all types of flowers may be enough to keep your floral business up and going for a long time. But if you want your business to grow and become more appealing, you should step up your game by simply selling some stuff aside from flowers.
Seeds of Ornamental Plants
The first cool item that you should try selling in your flower shop is seeds of ornamental plants. They’re profitable and will continue to be so due to the increasing demand. According to a market report, the global ornamental plant seeds market is estimated to grow at a rate of 5.1% CAGR up to the year 2030 mainly because of their decorative qualities and environmental perks such as soil depletion protection, temperature control, and denoising capabilities. A quick tip: consider stocking up on ornamental seeds such as amaranthus and pepper.
Scented Candles

Decorative and fragrant candles are a nice and appropriate item you may sell in your flower store. A market study predicts that by the year 2030, the worldwide scented candle market will have a value of $677.8 million, proving that vending candles along with your bunches can be really lucrative.
You might recommend to your clients that your fragrance candles make excellent gifts when combined with flowers, especially during the holidays like Thanksgiving and Christmas. Also, I suggest using stickers and other printings to engrave your brand’s logo on your candles. In essence, this will enable you to turn your fragrant candles into portable billboards for your flower business.
Flower Vases and Pots
But of course, vases and pots are suitable and profitable things you can sell in your store, even more so if these containers are uniquely created by you. In essence, you can make and sell pots out of any material, including ceramic and wood. You may also think about offering flower pot hangers and stands. Simply make sure that the vases and pots you offer are distinctively made and have your brand engraved on them.
Chocolates

Yes! Another awesome product to offer your customers is chocolate, right? Giving sweets along with flowers as gifts works effectively, especially around Valentine’s Day when customers frequently bundle these two to give to their loved ones. Be sure to find the sweetest chocolates and candies and display them in your store for cross-selling. Doing this also enhances your marketing effort and boosts sales.
Fragrance
Given that fragrance has the same major target market as flowers, which are women of all ages, and backgrounds, this is a fantastic additional product that can deliver significant sales.
In essence, all you need to do is find a reliable fragrance supplier. You can even introduce your own range of perfumes. Either way, you just need to make sure that your fragrance products are high-quality and smell good.
Greeting Cards

Last but not least are greeting cards. This is the thing for you if you’re looking for something that can be really cool and help you save a lot of money. Not only that, but greeting cards may also guarantee a solid return on investment and are particularly appropriate for a floral shop because customers frequently send letters with flower bouquets to their loved ones. Fundamentally, all you need to do is make sure your greeting cards have a distinctive design and bear your brand.
Conclusion
To sum it all up, the six coolest products you can and must sell together with your floral products include 1) seeds for ornamental plants; 2) scented candles; 3) flower pots and vases; 4) chocolate; 5) fragrance; and 6) greeting cards. Each of these products has the potential to make your business more popular while also assisting in its growth, especially given how profitable they are and the many possibilities they provide.
