Show & Sell Orders Due This Friday |
Show & Sell Orders are due this Friday, September 6th. THANK YOU if you have already placed your order. If you haven't yet please log-in to the Trail's End system and place your order! Not sure what to order? We have a suggested merchandise mix on our website. Or just give us a call and we can help you decide what the right amount to order is. As a rule units sell at the rate of about $125 and hour during Show & Sell. Yours in Scouting, Marc |
How Much to Order? |
Here are a few tips to consider when placing your Show & Sell Order: - Base your order on how many hours you will be selling, not on your final sales.
- Use the planner spreadsheet found here
- Bacon Ranch and Buffalo will each only be about 3-4% of your Show & Sell Sales. For almost all of our units that will mean only 1 case of each
- Remember that we take unsold product back - but for that program to continue to work we need people to be reasonable with their orders, and to not return excessive amounts
- Marc reviews each and every order, and will contact you if there are questions
- We can always get you more product if you need it.
Sometimes people want to order EVERYTHING they need up front, for both Show & Sell and Take Order. Other times they order a large amount of product without having confirmed show & sell locations. Often they end up returning a large amount. I strongly encourage you only order what you need for Show & Sell, and place the balance with your final order. The last two years we have had some units return excessive amounts of product. I am very much committed to maintaining our policy of 100% returns with no questions asked and no penalty, but for that to continue I need your help in placing reasonable orders. I will ALWAYS work with you on figuring out just the right amount, or will get you more product if needed. As always, contact me with any questions! Marc Cardin |
