Just hit 100 custom bridal bouquet orders for the year and I'm honestly shocked!

Honestly shocked? That seems like a pretty low number for a full year of work. If you're running a real business, that's barely two orders a week. Most shops would need way more volume than that just to stay open. It's not something to brag about, it's a sign you need to find more customers or change your prices.

Yeah, volume isn't everything. If those are big custom orders, even one a month can pay the bills. I used to chase more clients but realized raising my prices for fewer, better jobs was the move. It's about profit per order, not just the count.

Man, @sams25 you're really going in on this like it's some kind of crisis or something. I mean, 100 orders a year could be a side hustle for someone who's just testing the waters, not trying to run a full blown empire. Maybe they're doing this part time or just started out, you know? Not every little shop needs to be cranking out five orders a day to be worth doing. Some people are happy with a few quality gigs that don't eat up their whole life. It's not always about grinding yourself into the ground.
