2007 TRAILS END POPCORN SALE STARTS!
Every year the Cub Scouts and Boy Scouts across America sell popcorn door to door to raise money for Scouting. This Fall the Scouts will be providing their customers the opportunity to donate a portion to show their appreciation for their military servicemen and servicewomen. A gift to tell them thanks for all their hard work to keep all our families safe. Learn more at www.SupportOurTroops.org.

This year the scouts are doing the Show & Deliver technique, as well as doing the usual take orders. We hope this will add to the scouts sales. Scouts earn money to use for summer camp.
What is Show & Deliver?
NOT Show & Sell Selling door-to-door with the take order form & product in- hand Allow Scouting members to make the sale, deliver the product, and collect the money immediately ALL in one visit. No more multiple visits to the same house to complete the sale Scouting members can gain additional sales from the same customers Why Do Show & Deliver?
A Scouting member can sell 4X as much using Show & Deliver vs. Show & Sell! Customers spend more at home ($15.00) vs. storefront ($8.00) Most productive use of a family’s valuable time Spend more time selling and less time delivering & collecting Selling Online Scouts can pass out a KEY for their customers to order more popcorn when they run out. If they want more, they don't have to wait till next year! They order and have it shipped directly to their house, or to someone else's house as a gift!
All Scouts will be given an Order Key. Scout communicates his Order Key via email, phone, and so on, to potential or existing customers. Customer goes online to OrderPopcorn.com and purchases popcorn with a Credit Card. The Product is shipped directly from Trail’s End to the customer and the Scout and Unit receive credit for the Sale. Advantage: Ability to sell Popcorn year round and receive credit for the sale with NO delivery or collection hassles. Also provides an excellent opportunity to reach extended family and friends across the country.
