Rassen, Rachel L.
This module on owning and operating a flower and plant store is one of 36 in a series on entrepreneurship. The introduction tells the student what topics will be covered and suggests other modules to read in related occupations. Each unit includes student goals, a case study, and a discussion of the unit subject matter. Learning activities are divided into individual activities, discussion questions, and a group activity. Units (and subject matter) in this module are: planning your business (products, customers, and competition; helpful personal qualities; how to compete well; legal requirements); choosing a location (how to choose a site; renting and leasing a store); getting money to start (preparing a business plan; statement of financial need); being in charge (managing a sales staff; hiring salespeople; keeping workers happy); setting prices (pricing; markdown sales; stock turnover); advertising and selling (how to advertise; sales methods); keeping financial records (cash sales; credit sales; daily cash sheet); buying and keeping track of supplies (inventory selection; choosing suppliers; purchase orders; inventory control); and keeping your business successful (keeping track of profits; profit/loss statements; improving profits; increasing sales).
