Why join an Flowers' Association?

 Occupations in the floral field are exciting but requires a lot of time and energy because flowers are delicate and require attention. Nevertheless, the successful completion of these tasks is not enough to ensure the sustainability of the business. Indeed it must be able to sell the product or the company's service. In addition we also manage all the administrative and any potential problems that might occur.

Why not join an association? Its missions: to help you in managing your business and the interests of your business.

Join an association gives several advantages:

1) By integrating an association, you will inevitably meet other professionals in your area with whom you may be able to establish contacts and you help each other. And why not create partnerships ? At the same time, you will have easier access to information concerning the environment of your market through the association and also your new contacts.

2) Associations often set up events you will invite as members. This may be for example flower show, congresses etc. or you can display your products or your expertise and thus to advertise and gain credibility. Some associations are developing certifications and labels that demonstrate the expertise or quality issued by the company. Owning these certifications enables again to gain credibility and thus attract new customers.

3) Finally, associations can provide support for administrative, legal and tax. This can be very helpful in knowing that some documents are not always easy to understand and the steps to take are sometimes complicated.

Here are some associations in UK:
