I noticed a Rose & Carnation price sheet list while
visiting a flower shop the other day, which reminded
me that I needed to do a flowers in vase type.
While on deliveries or out of office my Dad/Employee
gets asked how much for this in a vase.
Could ya'll give me input about what all I need to list?
Just the basics come to mind.
What kind of list do you have?
 
I have one for my hubby when i'm out of the store.
it has prices per flower
12 carns in a vase with and with out BB
12 roses in a vase etc etc
6 carns or 6 roses and singles in a vase.

it also has a blurb about what is in a basic (not called that for him to say) arrangement at what price point.

We have a list of roses, wrapped, boxed, arranged, singles etc. List of corsage prices, list of supply prices, list of cut flower prices on a whiteboard, and a spreadsheed recipe list.
 
We have a vasing fee structure. Since we have 5 locations and have new hires at any given time, we needed to simplify our process. We sell a lot of cash and carry bouquets and frequently have customers bring bouquets up to the counter and want them vased. Our fees are as follows:

Bud vase fee: $10
Small vase fee: $15
Medium vase fee: $20
Large vase fee: $25
Premium vase fee: $35

The fee includes the vase, greens, accent flower, bow, and labor. We have a set list of utlity vases that we use for each size. So, if a customer brings up a single rose and wants it put in a vase (our roses are currently $2.49 each) it costs $12.49. Two roses would be $14.99 and so on. If the customer brings up a $6.99 cash and carry bouquet....we add $15 for a total of $21.99.

We also have lists for roses and carnations vased from 1 to two dozen.

This fee structure has made things SO MUCH EASIER for all of us.
 
I do what Sandy does for the utility glass. I go so far as to price specialty vases and put them on the sales floor with labor, filler, and packaging already in the mark-up to ensure that everything is covered no matter who does the selling. No big surprises to the customer.

When they bring their own vase, we DO charge an additional $5 for packaging, usually just a bud vase or something similarly simple. 75% of the time, the vase is NASTY. Even if it isn't, we tell people we must sanitize it before putting flowers in it. Some will argue it's clean, and we just tell them you can't see bacteria but it kills flowers, better safe than sorry.

We have a price list for greens by stem and weight, and for supplies like foam and wire. Nobody gives me these things for free so I charge according to a standard mark-up.
