Characteristics of ba*net—an Online Flower Market Operated by Aucnet

Online flower market ba*net resolves conventional purchasing-related problems because it has its own one-of-a-kind delivery network and realizes a complete separation of sales and logistics.

How the Ba*net Flower Market Can Help Your Business

  1. The bother of going out to purchase flowers

    01
    Going out to the flower market from the early morning two or three times a week can be burdensome,
    not to mention the transportation and payroll costs that they entail.
    02
    Having to go to the auction site is restrictive,
    and it does not allow sufficient time to be spent at the shop for sales.
  2. Product variety

    01
    It is difficult to purchase the desired selection of products at the local flower market,
    with products becoming especially scarce around annual events and holidays.
    02
    It is hard to find and purchase the types of flowers needed, such as when orders have been received.
  3. Purchasing budget

    01
    Web-based purchasing is being utilized,
    but it feels more expensive than auction market prices.
    02
    Small-lot sales and delivery services offered by intermediate wholesalers are being utilized,
    but the purchase price is high.

Customer Testimonials

  1. One of the reasons that I find this flower market appealing is that I can find and purchase here items as well as merchandise from regions that aren't available at my local market. I can also make my purchases while comparing prices with the local market. I think that's the biggest advantage – I can choose the best and most inexpensive item at the time from a very large selection.

    (Bridal services / Hokkaido)

  2. My husband often has to go out due to work related to the industry organization that we belong to. That made it difficult for me to go out and make purchases for the shop. I am really grateful because I can take part in auctions from home even when my husband is out. I don't have to close the shop to do it.

    (Flower shop owner / Shizuoka Prefecture)

  3. Aucnet totally changed distribution in the flower industry! I trust it because it is stable in terms of both quality and logistics. They also respond swiftly to any consultations that I make about orders and the condition of products. I can carry on my daily tasks while feeling ease.
