Flowers Online

Profit is made from purchasing products from your store. Participants can invite family and friends to shop via social media, text, and email.

Your group profits from every sale from your store.

Buyers can purchase bulbs, seeds, and roots. We do not carry live plants in the soil, so nothing is potted or growing, but some roots might have sprouted. Bare root plants are dormant perennial, meaning they are not actively growing. They are dug up and stored without any soil around their roots. We recommend planting promptly.

There is no registration for a Flowers Online fundraiser. We set up your store and provide you with a unique store link. Your group can share the link and invite people they know to shop.

Once supporters arrive at your store, they'll see your group's name and purpose at the top of the page. For example, "ABC High School Band". "We are raising funds for festival entrance fees and travel."

You'll be able to track your group's sales and see how close you are to your goal.

If you want to track individual participant sales, there is a field at checkout that states, "Give Credit for this Sale to: _____________". You will need to remind your participants to tell their customers to enter their first & last names so they receive credit for their sales.

When your profit check is issued, you will receive a report showing each order placed and who received the credit.

Your success depends on getting participants to send out your online store link. You can grow your sales by setting individual seller goals based on your group's needs.

Track your fundraiser progress and remind participants to invite people to your store. When your participants reach their individual goals, your group succeeds.

We encourage groups to supplement the prize program we offer with additional incentives. We encourage groups to come up with motivational incentives as well. Here are a few fundraising incentive ideas

Yes. You'll receive an online store link.

There is no in-person ordering or money collection. Participants generate sales when the people they invite buy products from your store.

No, participants cannot track their sales updates.

There are no setup fees or costs to run a Flowers Online fundraiser. Once your group sells 50 products, we will waive the $50 admin fee.

We do not provide prizes for Flowers Online. Offering and regularly promoting incentives throughout your sale will help keep your group motivated and can improve your results.

Because this is an online fundraiser, there are no brochures. Before your sale, you'll receive an email with registration instructions. Be sure to forward it to your sellers.

You'll receive an agreement to sign after you submit our Start a Fundraiser form. Processing your order and setting up your store will take at least 3-5 business days.

Your store will be live once we send you instructions on getting started. We recommend that you have an official kickoff meeting so everyone starts simultaneously.

If you can't meet in person, consider using online communication technology. Examples include Zoom, Cisco Webex, GoToMeeting, and Google Meet.

More extended sales typically don’t translate into more earnings because they can lead to increased seller procrastination and worse sales results. We’ve found two weeks optimal, so your end date will be set accordingly by default. You can always let us know if you need to extend your sale about three-quarters of the way through. To succeed, focus on creating a sense of seller urgency, getting out of the gate quickly, and establishing early momentum.

Unless you tell us to extend your sale, your store will close the next business day after your fundraiser ends.

No, we also work with non-school groups, such as church groups, sports leagues, and dance organizations.

No. You must choose one store. For example, Goodies & Gifts Online cannot be run simultaneously with Popcorn Online. However, you can always run a second online fundraiser after the first one ends.

Yes. Your group must have at least 5 participants.

There are no minimum order requirements.

Before your Flowers Online sale, you'll receive access to your online store dashboard. You'll be able to see the following:

• Your latest orders
• Sales by location
• Overall sales progress

Your profit check arrives within three weeks after the season's end or from the close date of your store if you request to end your sale sooner.

If your group retails less than $500 in sales, you receive 40% profit. You will receive 50% profit for sales totaling $500 or more.

You will be charged $50 if your group sells fewer than 50 products.

Flowers Online does not offer a donation option.

Online customers will pay sales tax unless they live in a state that does not have sales tax.
