ive made a committment but wonder how someone else would have looked at this...

we have great weekend traffic, we sell tons of garden iron and other garden things, we dont have plants or time or the staff to work with finding plants, buying plants, keeping them alive or the ability to learn everything it would take to deal with them.......
so i have made a deal with a plant guy to come in every weekend in may with lots and lots of plants to sell to my customers...with me getting 20% comission.......my staff would do the sellling....and water once a day only.....

good....make me more of a garden center
more reasons to come
make my iron look better, from gazeboes to planters
make me more of a destination
win win i hope..


bad...what if they only have 20$ to spend and they spend it on plants?

my operating expenses run over 20%.... but i dont have to do anything on the plants but write them up and carry them to the car...no extra staff...no waste , nothing that would have to be put on sale...


we sell a huge amount of garden stuff in the season.... its a major category...

how would you look at this?


im excited but am i missing something?
