Facteurs de risque

• Negative profit potential of -$1,346/month despite $7,350–$12,600/month revenue
• Very wide break-even range (25 to 999 months) suggesting high uncertainty in unit economics
• Low GDP/capita of $545 may limit discretionary spend on bouquets and events
• Dense competitive pressure (500 competitors nearby) can compress pricing and reduce repeat purchases
• Margin sensitivity to seasonal flower supply and transport costs (likely to worsen swings between profit and loss)

Plan d’exécution

1. Localize the offer around high-frequency occasions (birthdays, church events, graduations) with pre-priced bouquet tiers
2. Build lead capture and repeat ordering: WhatsApp ordering, quick delivery windows in Antananarivo, and subscription-style monthly specials
3. Negotiate bulk purchasing with wholesalers and reduce waste using smaller batches, daily demand forecasts, and spares-only for best sellers
4. Differentiate against nearby florists via premium add-ons (custom wrapping, same-day delivery, corporate gift bundles) instead of price cuts
5. Track a strict weekly scorecard (COGS %, gross margin per bouquet, delivery cost per order, conversion rate) and adjust pricing/promos monthly
6. Run 60-day proof campaigns with event partners and corporate HR departments to lock recurring orders and shorten the path to break-even
