Roman Sacke always knew how to create a positive experience for someone by using flowers. When he got in trouble as a child in the Czech Republic, he would walk around his neighborhood picking flowers to create an “apology bouquet” for his Mom so that she wouldn’t be as mad at him. After moving to LA as a young man in 2004, he used this talent to build a successful high-end floral business. However, it was not his primary business that brought him his notoriety. He wondered if he could find a market for the rotting and dying flowers that he usually threw out as waste. This idea came to life in the form of his spin-off business, Dirty Rotten Flowers, which allows customers to send dirty rotten flowers to someone as a joke. This is a great example of using an entrepreneurial mind to take advantage of the adjacent possible. I find it very impressive when people are able to take what would normally be waste and find a way to make money off of it. This may not be cutting-edge innovation, but it is definitely one of the more creative business models I have ever seen.
Wow, I never realized someone could find a need for rotten flowers. He is definitely not afraid to take that chance and while I am surprised he found success in it, I applaud him.
I find this hilarious that this idea did so well. Your right in the fact that it’s interesting to see someone turn what was once waste into profit. This entrepreneur was definitely not afraid of failure because to have the confidence that you can sell rotten flowers is crazy.
I think it’s very cool that he found a different use for rotten flowers and found a market for them. He took a big risk that was unique and definitely worth it! I know i wouldn’t have thought about saving rotten flowers and saving them for another purpose! Very cool!
I need to to thank you for this fantastic read!! I definitely enjoyed every bit of it.I have got you book-marked to look at new things you post…|
This is a creative business model to be able to take a part of the business that would normally be considered a loss and change it into a successful side business. It is a very creative way of turning a problem into a solution.
This idea makes me laugh a lot. Sending people “dirty rotten flowers” is a funny idea to me. I love this because it is not necessarily revolutionary or life-changing it is just using old flowers to send dirty bouquets to people. Very unique and interesting idea for sure.
