Florists in Utah by the numbers

The Census Bureau counted 103 florists in Utah in its 2023 County Business Patterns (NAICS 453110). They employed 664 people in mid-March and reported $12.4 million in annual payroll. That is the 35th highest count among the 51 states and DC with published figures. Florists make up 0.11% of the 95,494 business establishments in the state.

Per 100,000 residents (2024 estimate) Utah has 2.9 florists, 15.5% below the national rate of 3.5. The average establishment has 6.4 employees against 4.7 nationally. Payroll per employee is $18,705, 25.6% below the U.S. figure of $25,151.

Utah's largest markets for florists

Census published florist counts for 9 metro or micropolitan areas that include part of Utah. The largest is Salt Lake City, UT, with 29 establishments. Single-state metro and micropolitan areas account for 80% of the statewide total; the rest are outside any published area or in areas Census suppressed.

Team sizes at florists in Utah

52.4% of Utah's florists with employees had fewer than five people in March 2023, compared with 64.8% nationally. 78.6% had fewer than ten. At that size the phone is shared, so routing (who rings, when, and what happens after hours) matters more than the number of desk phones.

What florists in Utah use the phone for

Florists take a large share of orders by phone, especially for funerals, holidays and same-day deliveries. Order details matter, so clear call notes prevent mistakes.

Calls a florist in Utah might handle in a typical week include:

• The florist calls a recipient to schedule delivery.
• A customer calls to order sympathy flowers for a service tomorrow.
• A bride calls about wedding flowers.

Business texting for florists

Florists text order confirmations and delivery notices.

Texting from a local number in Utah requires carrier registration (10DLC), a one-time $49 fee on Callata.

What a phone system costs a florist in Utah

Florists in Utah average 6.4 employees, so the comparison uses a 6-person team. On a per-user plan that headcount sets the bill: $149.70 a month on Ooma Office Pro or $180.00 on RingCentral RingEX Core at list price (checked September 28, 2026). Callata comes to $119.00 a month for 6 users ($99 a month with 5 users included, then $20 per additional user), below both.

Over a year, that is $732 less than RingCentral for a florist in Utah of that size. Annual contracts lower some competitors' prices, so compare the plan you would actually sign.

Area codes in Utah

Utah has 3 geographic area codes in service according to NANPA. Callata includes up to 3 local numbers, so a florist can hold a number in more than one of them.

Porting a number you already use in Utah is free, and business texting is available once the carrier registration (10DLC) is approved; the registration carries a one-time $49 fee. Which specific numbers are open in a given area code depends on carrier inventory at the time you sign up.

AI agents are optional: an AI receptionist or scheduler can pick up when the team is busy or closed, take a message, send a text or email, or transfer the call.
