What about pot covers for container flowers? Does a piece of foil around the container sell more flowers? There are covers for sale here: https://www.directfloral.com/c-245-bouquet-sleeves.aspx

Here are the DHGate sleeve vases, a neat idea, but I probably won't use them:

I have never dealt with a wholesale floral supplier, so I am also open to suggestions in that regard.


Also, I get the general concept, but what exactly is a "bouquet chopper?" I can't find any product for sale by that name.

quite frankly... I think each of these ideas is a waste of your investment. a plastic sleeve is not going to sell the flowers any better.

the collapsible vase? you need to be able to wedge them into something to transport them. otherwise they will be falling over on the way there? I am not a "busy" visual person. they look busy. I want people to see my flowers. I take them in bouquets in small buckets... usually about 3 per bucket. let them pick the bouquet they want and plop it into a thank you bag. I have not spent any time on sleeves. not worth it to me. they are hard to get them into the sleeve if you have a nice sized bouquet.

and no, a pot cover is not going to sell the plants any better unless someone is taking it as a gift to someone else. if you invest in them get earthy colors. not the bright (aka gaudy) ones you want people to see your flowers.


these are just my opinion from working in the industry and personal preference.
