About

I'm a bilingual Spanish and English speaking high school student at Shawnee Mission South and a beginner pipe cleaner florist who creates handmade flowers to earn income while continuing my education. I anticipate launching this business in the spring of this year. https://foreverpetals.my.canva.site/foreverpetals

Part 1:

I am selling custom pipe cleaner flower bouquets starting from $4 to $12 bouquets.

Part 2:

High school or middle school students between the ages of 13 and 19 in Overland Park who want gifts for friends or partners will be my primary customers.

Part 3:

I will reach my customers using various social media platforms like Instagram, TikTok, and Pinterest. Also through email, and on my online website.

Part 4:

Some competitors are other small businesses that sell handmade pipe cleaner bouquets, sellers on social media platforms who make similar bouquets, real flower shops, and artificial flower bouquet sellers.
