Wen Siau Kit, 23, who posted his advertisement last month, said business has been encouraging, with enquiries from not only people in Johor Baru but also in Kuala Lumpur.
Flowers for sale: Wen showing the advertisement he put online to sell roses for Valentine’s Day. Wen, who is from Cameron Highlands, said he started the business last year together with three friends.
“Since I can get the flowers at a low price from a friend who has a rose farm, we decided to try out the business,” he said.
“The response was good and we sold 300 roses last year. We expect to double that this year.”
Besides the Internet, Wen and his friends rely on word of mouth to publicise his business.
Asked whether he would get anything special for his girlfriend for Valentine’s Day, he smiled and said that he was still unattached.
“We will deliver the roses today and tomorrow. Each wrapped rose is priced between RM6 and RM10,” he said, adding that they had also obtained a temporary licence to market their flowers at Danga Bay.
Wen said red roses were the most popular, followed by pink ones.
All his customers are men.
Wen, who is the third of four siblings and who used to help his father on their vegetable farm, aspires to be an entrepreneur.
