Selling roses for fundraising!?

Question

any suggestions for selling roses on valentines day?!

should we buy them in advance and sell them at a table on valentines day? or take orders and deliver them? has anyone done this before?

Answer 1

my youth group does it every year.  we  take advance orders and sell them a have the buyer write a note to attach to it.  We let them pick them up and deliver it unless they want us to deliver it.  We sell them for 5 dollars a piece.  We normally sell about 100 to 200 roses.  we buy them at sams club for like 15 a dozen.  so we make about $45 a dozen and we always buy 2 dozen extra for last minute buyers.  it is always a huge success.
