How To Sell

Show and Deliver

• The Scout requests popcorn on consignment (variety could vary).  He sells what he can and returns the rest with no penalty

• The Scout, with his Akela, goes door to door with a Take Order Form

• The Scout carries Trail's End Popcorn with him (in a van or car) and is able to fulfill the customer's popcorn order right away.

Take Orders

• The Scout requests popcorn on consignment (variety could vary). He sells what he can and returns the rest with no penalty.

• The Scout with his Akela goes door to door with a Take Order Form.  Take Order Forms will provided during the Popcorn Kickoff 

• The customer writes his/her order on the Take Order Form and the Scout collects the money.

• The Scout processes the order and delivers the Popcorn to the Customer in a few weeks.

Selling at Work

• Mom and/or Dad take an order form to their work.

• Fellow co-workers write their order on the order form.

• Mom and/or Dad deliver product and collect the money in a few weeks.

• (It is best to collect the money upfront when possible)

Selling Online

• The Scout communicates his Order Key via email, phone, and so on, to potential or existing customers. The Customer can go online and purchase popcorn with a Credit Card  at http://www.trails-end.com/trailsend/scouts/

• The Product is shipped directly from Trail’s End to the customer and the Scout and Unit receive credit for the Sale.

Show and Sells

• Show and Sells make up a big part of our popcorn program. We've obtained permission from local businesses to set up a sales table.  Show and Sells have plenty of products on-hand for people to buy.  Different Scouts work at the table in shifts.  Always have adult supervision.  

• Check the calendar for show and sell times and other important details.

Scouts can also create their own Show and Sell 

• by reaching out to local businesses and getting permission to set up a table for sales.  If you do, be sure to let us know.  We're happy to help you help us by coordinating other Scout's participation and providing the popcorn!

• This year we will be managing our Show and Sell participation using SignUpGenius (www.signupgenius.com).  Invitations will be sent out by email in advance of the scheduled Show and Sell.
