When you’re growing for everyone… you’re really growing for no one.

In this episode, I’m unpacking the power of finding your ICA — your Ideal Customer Avatar. This isn’t just a marketing buzzword. It’s about building a flower business that works for you — your lifestyle, your crops, and your goals.

I’ll share the mistakes I made in my early days (think late-night bouquet deliveries, impossible wedding requests, and those dreaded houses with no numbers 🙃), and why saying yes to everything nearly burnt me out. More importantly, I’ll walk you through how finding your ICA gives you the clarity and permission to say no — and focus on the customers who bring both joy and profit.

You’ll learn:

  • Why finding your ICA matters more than just “choosing a niche”
  • How to spot the red flags that an ICA doesn’t fit your business
  • Examples of different flower farm ICAs — from high-end brides to weekly bouquet buyers
  • How your lifestyle, location, and crop choices all shape your ICA
  • Why pricing, vase life, and marketing should be tailored to your dream customer

Whether you’re just starting out or pivoting from chaos to clarity, this episode will help you stop spinning plates and start building a flower business that truly fits.
