Proven Methods of Selling Scout Popcorn!

Show & Deliver:

This method provides the highest positive responses and has benefits over the Take Order method, as it often eliminates the return trip to deliver product. Scouts bring along corn as they go door to door. When a sale agreement is reached the Scout goes to the car, gets the product, and delivers it on the spot while the customer pays. If the desired product is not on hand, the Scout performs a Take Order and returns with the ordered product at a later time. You can return any unsold product to the council.

Take Order:

This method involves uniformed Scouts going door to door to take orders for popcorn. Only about 20°/o of households are contacted about supporting Scouting. There is plenty of untapped market for the sale. Mom and/ or Dad take an order form to their work. Fellow co-workers write their order on the order form. The parent then delivers the product and collects the money in a few weeks.

Show & Sell:

This method involves setting up a table or booth at a high foot-traffic location (like a popular grocery store) where you can greet the public and offer your sale. The best results occur when Scouts are very visible, because we are selling the Boy Scouts of America to our customers.

Selling Online:

For the first-time on-line sales have been fully interrogated into the fall sales campaign. This way everyone can order popcorn straight from your Scout's account and it is shipped directly to them! Sell Online at www.popcornordering.com
