Solve the problem of sourcing suppliers
Roseonly also has a corresponding explanation for how to build the uniqueness of products at the sourcing level.
Founder Boys has told the media that most of the roses in the store are from the Amazon basin, located in the Andes at an altitude of more than 3,000 meters high in the Ecuadorian region. Because this is the equatorial area, high altitude, plus sunny, volcanic soil fertile, is the rose to find the most beautiful growth environment, here, it can bloom all year round.

Boys, the supplier of roses to them, is a family business that runs for generations. They have the annual output value of 50 million dollars rose Garden, by supplying the European royal family, so the product called the Royal rose. To this end, Roseonly has to pay the highest purchase price.
After the harvest link is completed, the rose will be imported by air within 48 hours, then through FedEx, Shun Fung Express in 24 hours to reach the country 300 cities. This kind of online pre-sale and third party distribution makes roseonly basically achieve zero inventory.

"Gao Fu Shuai" courier

It is understood that, at present, many luxury brands in addition to the staff wearing appearance, such as strict requirements, the travel tools also have provisions, such as employees must play rental, not crowded bus and so on.
In addition to professional delivery services, Roseonly also wants to match the image of the delivery person to the brand. In the Beijing CBD, they even hired a tall, handsome, blond and blue-eyed foreign boy to deliver. High-standard packaging box, plus handsome "foreigner", earn enough eyeballs.
Control scale
According to media reports, the site online so far, roseonly August sales have been nearly million. But at present there is no large-scale expansion in addition to the opening of a physical store. In Boys's view, brands still need to spend time nurturing.
However, Roseonly is also constantly exploring product diversification. In addition to roseonly original flower products, the eternal Rose category has been online. Recently, Roseonly also launched a new category--roseonly chocolate, a box of 9, price 999 yuan.
Dilemma: Low threshold easy to copy
With the help of a series of concept cards, roseonly positioning of high-end light luxury marketing effect played a role. However, in the current flower market, roseonly business model has not been innovative innovation, concepts, quality, social, packaging, etc. are very easy to imitate, lack of core competitiveness and not replicable, it is difficult to determine how long the heat can be maintained.
Competitor, to the Beast Pie Flower Shop as the representative, also through the story marketing exerting the social channel, will the bouquet price sell expensive, but the sales increase, with roseonly grab food market.
The high-end flower market in the future there will be an endless stream of imitators to emulate the roseonly business model. How to maintain high profitability while maintaining the user's purchasing power is a problem that has to be considered.
