Standing Orders: The Advantage

For wholesalers or importers, whether it´s October or any peak floral season—times of heightened demand reveal the difference between reactive vendors and true strategic partners. When event and retail demand surge, those with pre-booked standing orders are better equipped to deliver consistent, reliable value.

Why Standing Orders Work

Locking in standing orders secures access to high-demand varieties. It eliminates the stress of last-minute sourcing and ensures inventory consistency when competition is at its highest. More importantly, it guarantees fresher product—flowers often arriving within 2–5 days of harvest thanks to direct farm-to-client planning. This minimizes rotation and maximizes vase life, a clear benefit for retailers and designers.

The Freshness and Priority Advantage

Standing orders represent more than logistics, they provide priority allocation. In periods of limited supply, loyal and consistent buyers are the first to be served. This ensures that your orders are freshly cut and packed specifically for you, rather than pulled from leftover cooler inventory. For wholesalers, this translates into consistency and confidence when supplying florists, supermarkets, and clients events.

Pre-Books for Seasonal Flexibility

While standing orders cover weekly or monthly needs, pre-books offer targeted solutions for holidays and large events. Think of it as reserving specific tones or varieties, reds for Valentine’s, whites for weddings, or seasonal greens for Christmas, well in advance. This forward planning helps the entire supply chain prepare, reducing last-minute stress, unwanted substitutions, and higher costs.
