Earn More Money and Achieve Your Goals Faster with Take Order Sales

Take Order Sales are the most effective and successful way to sell Popcorn. Scouts and Units who put an emphasis on Take Order Sales make more sales and have a higher per sale dollar average than Show & Sell. Here are some tips for successful Take Order Sales:

  • Statistics show 3 out of 5 houses will buy popcorn.
  • Not every house will buy, so don't be discouraged!
  • The more people you ask, the more people will buy.
  • Wear your uniform and be polite. Don't walk on lawns.
  • Tell them what the money will be for (camping trip, new tents, etc)
  • Know what kinds of popcorn you are selling and when you will deliver it.
  • If no one is home write a letter (make copies) explaining the popcorn sale and why you are selling and how to get in touch with you (parents phone/email)
  • Tape a thank you note to the container of popcorn when you deliver it. Write a generic one and make copies.
