Tips on Selling Popcorn for Pack 11

To save you all some time, these tips helped us sell popcorn this past weekend. We learned most of them on this Trails End website.

1) Email Perry for your scout's key for the http://www.orderpopcorn.com site. You can then send this link to friends/coworkers/relatives. They enter in your scouts key and he gets the credit. Mention that 70% of monies raised stay within the scout organization.

2) Take your scout door to door in the blocks surrounding your house..after they decide on which item they want, ask for a military donation on top of the order.

3) Mention that it is helpful to Pack 11 to collect money up front. This allows you to deliver and not have to track down payment later.

4) For best results, scouts should wear their uniform.

5)If they dont like popcorn, mention that they can still support the Pack by the military donation. Also, the new Trails Mix has been a big seller.

6) Write your scouts order key on the side of the popcorn boxes. There is a space for them.

7) Sign up for the King Soopers / Safeway time slots. This is another great way for your scout to make sales for your Pack and earn prizes.

If your curious what the top sellers last year did, you can see their results here. The top scout in the Western region sold $39,501...Amazing!
