Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: When Avent announced that he was quitting his job to build a specialty nursery, his former horticulture professor begged his student to reconsider, telling him he couldn't possibly make a profit "without doing something illegal." More than ten years and 20 nursery catalogs later, Avent owns a thriving national business with nearly 30 employees. He wrote So You Want to Start a Nursery to debunk myths about the ornamental-plants nursery business and what it takes to succeed, whether you're a backyard hobbyist or a wholesale grower. (And he still has a clean arrest record.) Assuming that the reader has some basic knowledge about how plants are grown, Avent focuses on the business and planning concerns of the nursery owner. While recounting humorous stories of his baptism by fire as a beginning nurseryman, Avent also provides a primer on the nursery industry as a whole, with discussions of the merits and disadvantages of retail, wholesale, mail-order, and liner operations, to name just a few. Readers of this book will obtain the tools they need to make a business plan of their own. This book is a must-read for horticulture students, industry insiders, and advanced gardeners who dream of turning their passion for plants into a job they love.

Download or read book Building a Mail Order Business Classic Reprint written by Walter N. Whitney and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-10-21 with total page 30 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Building a Mail Order Business Thirty years ago the few who engaged in the mail order business were held up to ridicule by those who conducted business thru the regular channels of retail store selling. The idea that people would buy goods they had not seen was scoffed at by the average storekeeper. It is not much more than a dozen years ago since the mail-order business began to establish itself fully in the confidence of the people generally. A point has now been reached, however, where those who for merly ridiculed the mail-order business as a channel of distribution appear to have become alarmed about their own existence and are attempting to keep mail order competition out of their territory either by closing all avenues of advertising or by securing legislation antagonistic to the mail-order houses.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From his own experiences in starting a small mail order business, the author has written this important, basic book. He has included some of the critical problems he encountered and overcame. During the difficult times when he made mistakes, he chose to accept it with good humor and as a learning experience which he passes on to the reader. He does not promise, 'to make you a millionaire', however, he explains how the mistakes he made could make you lose your shirt if you repeat them. He tells you about his successes and his failures with a few tears and a little boasting, and he warns you that losing your shirt can be very painful. The guidance he offers should prevent you from repeating some of the serious mistakes that he made. Starting small, with a tight budget, and little knowledge about the mail order business, the author developed press releases and advertising that sold many products including plastic spouts and orange peelers, garlic that had no odor, fake alarm panels, and books. A very popular product, The Seat Bag, was sold to thousands of Bird Watchers, Artists and other customers around the world. His press releases were used by The New York Times, other large newspapers, and the Associated Press. How he did this and who he met along the way will make you laugh as you learn.
