The cost difference between simulated flowers and real flowers is relatively large, mainly reflected in the following aspects:
1. Material cost:
The material cost of artificial flowers mainly includes the production materials of vases, flower branches, buds, flowers and leaves, etc. The cost of these materials varies according to the quality and type. Taking medium-size simulation flowers as an example, the material cost is about 50 yuan.
The cost of real flowers includes the procurement cost of flowers, the transportation cost and the operating cost of the florist. The procurement cost of flowers will be affected by many factors such as season, variety, supply and demand. For example, a grade B rose may be sold at a florist for about three or four yuan because of the above costs.
2. Maintenance cost:
Artificial flowers require almost no maintenance, so maintenance costs are very low. They do not fade and do not require watering, fertilizing or pruning, which greatly reduces long-term costs.
Real flowers need regular maintenance and replacement, including watering, fertilizing, pruning, etc., which can increase their maintenance costs. Moreover, real flowers have a limited life and need to be replaced regularly, which also increases the cost.
3. Other costs:
Simulation flowers may need to use machines and manual processes in the production process, so there will be a certain production cost, which is about 30-50 yuan. In addition, artificial flowers also need to be properly packaged in order to transport and sell, which will also increase some costs.
In addition to the above procurement costs and maintenance costs, real flower may also include florist rent, staff salaries and other operating costs. These costs are reflected in the florist's final price.
To sum up, there is a clear difference in cost between simulated flowers and real flowers. The initial investment of artificial flowers may be high, but the long-term maintenance cost is low. The purchase cost and maintenance cost of real flowers are relatively high, and they need to be replaced regularly. Therefore, when choosing to use simulated flowers or real flowers, it is necessary to make comprehensive consideration according to the actual situation and needs.
