What
is Show and Sell Popcorn? |
Show and Sell Popcorn is ordered
by your unit, prior to the scheduled Take
Order Sale. As the name implies, it gives
your unit the opportunity to “show”
the popcorn to a prospective buyer and then
“sell” it to them. |
Where
is Show and Sell Popcorn Used? |
Show and Sell Popcorn is an added way for
your unit to sell popcorn. It is not
a substitute for the take order sale!
Many units use Show and Sell Popcorn at flea
markets, church sales, community carnivals,
and outside stores such as Wal-Mart….(make
sure to get approval from the store first)! |
How
much does our unit have to order? |
The minimum order is 1 case. Unlike the
Take Order Sale, the Council can not provide
Show and Sell Popcorn in single container
orders. There is no maximum order. |
Does
our unit have to pay for Show
and Sell Popcorn "Up Front"? |
The Council would prefer payment for Show
and Sell Popcorn at the time the popcorn is
picked up by your unit. However, if your unit
is unable to do this, the Council will work
with you to arrange a mutually agreeable time
for payment. |
How
much does our unit make? |
Commission from Show and Sell Popcorn is
37%. |
Are
youth/unit prizes part of Show and Sell?
|
Yes! Your unit will be able to count their
Show & Sell orders as part of the overall
prize program! It should be noted that each
unit is responsible for breaking out the Show
& Sell order amongst the boys in your
unit (i.e. Which boys get credit for how much
money raised is a unit decision). |
What
if our unit has Show and
Sell Popcorn left over? |
Each unit should carefully consider how
much Show and Sell Popcorn to order. It sometimes
pays to be conservative. However, if your
unit has left over Show and Sell Popcorn,
you can deduct the amount left over, from
your Take Order Sale prior to placing the
order on November 4, 2005. This will prevent
your unit from having left over popcorn. The
Council can not take back any unused / left
over popcorn! |
