flower vendors day out !!!!!

By Shraddha Desai 

The flower vendors in front of Jyoti talkies are happy as the month of February has brought an increase to their business. With the coming of February the purchase of flowers is more as compared to other days. 

Valentine’s Day is soon approaching fast and with this people have started gifting flowers to their special ones. As compared to usual days, occasions provide acceleration to the business of these flower vendors. Although the rates of flowers have increased this month but it hardly matters to the people as Valentines Day matters to them the most.

 As compared to usual days the rate for a single rose has increased presently. One single flower would cost you Rs 10 while the same flower would cost Rs 5 in an ordinary day. A bunch of flower consisting of 20 roses would cost you Rs 120 while a bouquet would cost Rs 125.   

Bandu, a flower vendor said that,” Large numbers of flowers are in demand as Valentine’s Day is soon approaching fast. One single flower is of Rs 10 while a bunch of roses would cost Rs 150. The rates would differ with different flowers.”     

Guddu Goswami, another flower vendor said that,” As compared to occasion the other days we do not find customers but with the coming of occasions the sale of flowers increase. These days we are acquiring profit in our business.”

Suraj Saini said that,” During off season the rates are normal. This year the rates have increased but in case if the customer bargains then we mix various color flowers and then sell them at a down price.”

Presently these vendors are having a business of Rs 2000 a day but in ordinary days the target is hard to achieve.  Not more than a sum of Rs 900 is earned by these vendors on ordinary days.

The business remains very slow in the other days but occasionally the flower vendors gain good acceleration in their business. Due to the inflation people avoid purchasing flowers but occasionally people do not mind purchasing expensive flowers.

Vendors anxiously wait for occasions like Valentine’s Day, Diwali, Basant Panchami and various other occasions where flowers are in great demand.

It is always not necessary that the material purchased by the vendors would be sold completely as whole business depends upon the coming of the occasions or otherwise poor vendors keep waiting for the customer’s whole day long.
