Floristry

The Floristry Industry is mainly engaged in the retailing, creation and design of flower and foliage products. 
​
Floristry Industry Profile
Picture

Floristry in WA Today

​Floristry is a small sector and most businesses are owner operated with the majority of owners being “hands on” and employing an average of three staff.  As at the end of June 2017, there were 218 flower retailing businesses in Western Australia (WA).  Of the 218 WA businesses, 97 were non-employing businesses.
 
Florists only sell about half of all  retail flowers – competition comes from supermarkets; petrol stations;  convenience stores; fruit and vegetable shops; road-side stalls and internet retailers – so they respond by specialising in freshness, quality, customer service, special orders and complementary gift lines.
