Floral POS system - getting ready for the peak days in the flower trade
Floral POS system helps you to focus on what you do best - taking care of your customers. Find out how Paymash can give your flower shop a boost.
As an experienced florist, you know that the days leading up to Valentine鈥檚 Day can bring you a good five times a normal day鈥檚 sales. You also know that this means a lot of stress for you and your employees. It starts with customer service and the sales pitch. Not all customers know what they want. This is especially true for many men, who would like to impress their beloved but don鈥檛 really know how to do it. A good catalogue with pictures of impressive design ideas and typical floral arrangements for all occasions not only speeds up the decision but also awakens the desire for the florist鈥檚 higher quality creations.
A traditional paper catalogue will be unappealing in no time and even if it鈥檚 new, it cannot compete with the brilliance of flowers shown on a tablet like an iPad. The catalogue on the tablet also offers the option to place the order with a few clicks and then complete the payment.
Floral POS software with integrated online shop
The floral pos software allows you to create a beautiful online shop with the same products you have already entered in your pos system. You can create a site as extensive and varied as you wish. You may want to insert images and slideshows that highlight certain creations or special offers. This online shop is not only visible on the internet but can also act as an interactive catalogue you may want to use when you help your customers. Additionally your customers will be able to view and even order all of your products online. This will support you making sales and helps to save time.
How can a Point of Sale software help florists?
If the flower shop is full and even more orders have to be processed, it is especially important that the technical side of the business from order to payment is quick, has error-free processing and efficient. The florist does not want that the customers have to wait unnecessarily and would like to have more time and quiet in order to concentrate on his creativity. Any self-respecting flower shop is not a supermarket in which some thrown together bouquets can be bought.
