With Clock Presales, you can sell flowers or plants in small quantities before the actual auction, often for a better price than on the clock. This gives buyers full flexibility, certainty and allows them to purchase more meticulously.
How it works:
For flowers, you can sell from noon in the morning until 5.55 am the next day (just before the clock process starts).
For plants, you can sell from 12.00 in the morning until 6.25 the next day (just before the clock process starts).
You can sell up to a maximum of 80%, with at least 1 cask before the clock, of your clock supply through Clock presale.
When you make your auctionletters in your own software package which sends EAB's directly to Royal FloraHolland, you can also fill in the Clock Presale prices in Floriday. In Floriday, you can find your Clock supply under Supply > Auction.
You can adjust the quantities of the Clock Presales until the batch has been physically received and scanned at the Royal FloraHolland location.

Changing presales prices up or down
You can increase or decrease the auction presale prices during the auction presale period via the Supply > Auction > Clock Presale tab. If you see a product selling out quickly during the auction presale, it's wise to raise the price slightly. If you're not selling anything after a while, you can lower the price slightly. This increases your chances of making a sale.
The last column shows the quantity of a batch currently in presale and how much has already been sold. Adjust the auction presale price for one or more items and click Save at the bottom to confirm the new auction presale price.
