Make
corsages for a special event such as the upcoming Valentine's Day or
for Mother's Day, Homecoming, St. Patrick's Day, etc. Take orders ahead
of time and collect payment in advance. Be sure to collect full particulars
regarding the recipient's name and delivery address. Have small note
cards available for purchasers to complete to accompany the corsages.
A few samples for display at your table or booth will help promote sales.
Advance orders and collections will allow you to purchase only what
you need to make the number of corsages ordered and reduce the need
for advance funds. On the Saturday before Mother's Day (or the night
before or morning of your chosen event) deliver the corsages with accompanying
cards. For an extra charge, the corsage can be accompanied with a singing
telegram.
Variation: Breakfast
in Bed. Make up baskets of bagels with cream cheese, a banana or orange,
mug with a coffee and tea bag inside, and a Danish or muffin. You could
also include a magazine or a rose. Take orders in the weeks beforehand.
Arrange for pickups that morning or charge more for delivery.
