Ways To Sell:
There are three options to sell popcorn: traditional take order sales, sell online to friends and family out of town, and show-and-sell:
1. Show-n-Sell
Scouts have popcorn in hand to show and sell to customers. Dens, packs or troops can request permission to sell in front of a retail store or chartered organization. Click here to sign up for a show and sell!
2. Wagon Sales
Wagon sales is a new and exciting way of selling for Scouts. It’s a combination of the show-n-sell and take order methods. The Scout takes actual product door to door in their neighborhoods to sell and is like a show-n-sell table on wheels. Click here to sign up for wagon sales!
3. Take Order Sales
Take order sales are the most traditional way to sell popcorn. Scouts go door-to-door with the take order form received from your leader after the unit kick off. Customers choose the product(s) he or she wishes to buy and writes the order on the order form. Scouts should collect the money when the popcorn is ordered (checks should be made out to the unit). Popcorn will be picked up by units on November 2, 2019. Download the Trails-End App(NEW!)
4. Online Popcorn Sales
Selling online is the best way to sell to friends and family who live far away. Online sales count toward Scout rewards including the scholarship program. Participants can send emails asking people to purchase products online. The email includes a link allowing them to begin shopping right away. Customers can pay with a credit card, and the products are shipped directly to the customer. The advantages of online sales are that the Scout doesn’t have to collect money or deliver products. NEW! Shipping is FREE!
